“When a culture attempts to suppress the dimension of ultimate mystery, and to close the doors to transcendent truth. it inevitably becomes impoverished and falls prey, as the late Pope John Paul II so clearly saw, to reductionist and totalitarian readings of the human person and the nature of society.” – Pope Benedict XVI voicing concerns to American Bishops that there are trends in the U.S. culture that are “a threat not just to Christian faith, but also to humanity itself.”

Employees work excessive overtime, in some cases seven days a week, and live in crowded dorms. Some say they stand so long that their legs swell until they can hardly walk. Under-age workers have helped build Apple’s products, and the company’s suppliers have improperly disposed of hazardous waste and falsified records, according to company reports and advocacy groups that, within China, are often considered reliable, independent monitors. – Charles Duhigg and David Barboza reporting in their New York Times article: In China, Human Cost are Built into an iPad.

Chad serves as the Lead Pastor of Compass Church in Byron Center, Michigan. Chad and a small group of his friends planted Compass Church in 2006 with a vision of seeing the entire region permeated with the love and message of Jesus Christ. Chad received his theological education from Indiana Wesleyan University. As exciting as ministry has been, Chad’s primary passion is his wife Julie and their three children, Chase, Miles, and Jackson. Chad recently stated, “I want to be a part of leading Compass Church into the future and helping other churches as well. But that’s not where my leadership starts. My spiritual leadership begins in my home, with my wife and children. After God they come first.” Chad enjoys golf, a cup of coffee with friends, stand up comedy (in 2008 Chad was named one of the 10 Funniest People in Grand Rapids), following University of Michigan athletics, and reading anything pertaining to leadership and the local church.

“Today’s young people are impressed by the position and appearance of these celebrities. Simply because of their popularity and prominence they are perceived as heroes and role models. When celebrities express appreciation to God for their talents this generation will see it as aspirational.” - Joseph L. Price Whittier College Religious Studies professor talking about the impact of celebrity Christians Like Tim Tebow and Justin Bieber.

“The Christian owes his ultimate allegiance to God, and if any earthly institution conflicts with God’s will it is your Christian duty to take a stand against it. You must never allow the transitory evanescent demands of man-made institutions to take precedence over the eternal demands of the Almighty God.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr from his 1956 article entitled A  Letter to American Christians

Kem Meyer -
Kem is a recovering corporate spin doctor who used to think church was for out-of-touch people who just needed to “get a life.” Now? She believes the local church is the hope of the world — it just needs some help. As Communications Director at Granger Community Church, Kem’s job is to help find ways to eliminate information obesity and simplify complexity. That may include weighing in on a series package, a web interface or back office systems. It all counts, because—at the end of the day—everything communicates.
Her book, Less Clutter. Less Noise. (now in its fifth printing) provides simple insights for the not-so-simple art of communication to help churches, businesses and not-for-profits find ways to get the word out and, simply, do better. You can find her blogging at KemMeyer.com.

“Stories matter,Most of the work done on pornography revolves around the issues of free speech and legislation, or the science behind addiction. But films are not essays or treatises. Films, like novels and poems and plays, are here to tell stories. And that is enough. If that is done well, we will gain a glimpse into the truth for which we forgot to ask.” - Filmmaker Sean Finnegan talking about his recent documentary Out of the Darkness. A film that follows the life of former porn star Shelley Lubben, who now runs a ministry helping others to escape the sex industry and find hope and healing in Christ.

Interview with Mark Batterson

THEY SAID IT

“Clearly, a lot of folks who buy Kindle Fires simply are not in the market for a $500 tablet. These are customers that either would have purchased a $100 Kindle or no tablet at all. There are some customers who clearly wanted to gift a tablet this year, and it’s cheaper to gift a Fire than an iPad. That’s where the impact comes in.” – Morgan Keegan analyst Tavis McCourt explaining the impact of the Kindle Fire on the tablet market.

SOURCE: Examiner

“The mandate also forces Colorado Christian to fund government-dictated speech that is directly at odds with its own speech and religious teachings. Having to pay a fine to the taxing authorities for the privilege of practicing one’s religion or controlling one’s own speech is un-American, unprecedented, and flagrantly unconstitutional.” – Part of the wording in Colorado Christian University’s lawsuit against the Obama administration’s mandate requiring businesses to pay for insurance plans that cover two types of birth-control pills the college and other pro-life advocates view as abortion agents.

“It is challenging in many parts of the country to lead [new] churches to want to be part of a convention with such a regional name.” – Bryant Wright, Southern Baptist Convention president, on forming a task force to consider changing the 116-year-old denomination’s moniker.
