We’re Moving!

by admin on March 17, 2010

Well, this blog is anyway.

ModernEkklesia.com is finally moving to a different home!

I’ve been on Blogger now for almost 1.5 years and I feel it’s finally time to move to a different blogging platform. We’ll be able to add lots of other features that we haven’t been able to have on Blogger. To make a long story short, it’s going to make your user experience much better.

I wanted to let you know because things might not be working right for the next few days as we make our way over. Things might look messy. You’ll see boxes laying around. You might see some toys in the hallway. The garage will be open.

But don’t mind the mess. In a few days we’ll be cleaned up and hopefully better than ever.

Pray the the move goes well. This will be my last post until we move into the new Wordpress house.

Love you all!

Incredible Graphics Resource: PowerPoint Sermons

March 12, 2010

Most churches would like to be able to have nice graphics for their sermons series and for special announcements that come up. Unfortunately, not every church can afford to have their own graphic designer on staff.
That’s why I was excited when a few weeks ago my friend Pastor Javier Diaz let me in on an [...]

The Case For Finishing Early

March 9, 2010

I know what you’re thinking: ”I work well under pressure.” Or “when I’m under the gun it helps me to focus my thoughts.” I know because I used to have similar ideas. In the past I never intended to leave things for the last minute, but I often did. I would always finish things on time, but it [...]

If you’ve ever wished you could carry around classic Christian hymns on your iPhone, you’re going to get really excited about this new iPhone app. It’s called I.Praise and it basically has catalogued all of the hymns in the Seventh-day Adventist church hymnal, which by the way, are almost all the same hymns that any [...]

For the past few years I’ve been experimenting with different things in order to maximize my schedule and to be more effective. Some time ago my friend Pastor Billy Gager recommended a book called “Making Room For Life,” by Randee Frazee, in which the author presents what he calls a “Hebrew day planner.”
In essence, it’s [...]
