I couldn’t help but think of the robot in the series Lost in Space as I read this chapter. Warning! Warning! People walk in darkness. People have lost hope. People are going to die. And they are online. “More people will log onto blogs, Facebook, and Twitter this Sunday than will go to church. More […]

Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness ~Mother Teresa There he was, a powerful pawn, on his way to Damascus, engrossed in the game of Persecute the Christian, when a blast of light knocked Paul to his knees. Blinded by glory, he began to see, and the whole game changed. […]

If we will let Him, Christ will do in us and through us that which He did in and through the committed believers after Pentecost. The potential is ours. Do we dare believe that the faithful Christian believers may yet experience a great new wave of spiritual power? ~A.W. Tozer “He [the Holy Spirit] is […]

Your best content will come from living your life authentically in front of others and giving God the glory in every step. That’s how your story becomes sticky and remains with those who hear it. ~@stickyJesus Yet some days my story is muddy. I try to be authentic and real and transparent. But some days–no, […]

How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! ~Psalm 119:103 (NIV) Buzz got it’s start in the Garden of Eden when Eve recommended the apple. ~@stickyJesus Adam and Eve were in a relationship. Eve tasted the forbidden apple. It was sweet. So she told Adam to try it. And […]

Sisters–one of my favorite relationships. What gifts. “When 75 percent of U.S. homes are using social networking (Nielsen), it’s no longer an option for Christians to be online in some capacity; it’s a responsibility. . . Online is where people are and online is where Christians need to be.” ~Scott Williams in @stickyJesus And once […]

“The world changes, but my message doesn’t.” ~@stickyJesus I have connections. In high places. I need to remember that when I log on. Because Facebook and Twitter and other social media sites are all about connections. And those connections are all about the “human universal need for relationships” carried out in a digital community. Paul […]
Reflections on @stickyJesus: Chapter 1
Shine. Online. I wanted to be a missionary when I grew up. Didn’t happen. Or did it? Could it? Today I live in the Land of Shiny Things (L.O.S.T.) Tami and Toni remind me that that is not a mistake. That I was (you were) born for such a time as this. A time when […]
On Adopting a Droid
I am in a land of shiny things. AKA–the Verizon Store. Where inhabitants speak a strange language and rows upon rows of shiny alien mouths line up neatly on shelves. I’ve owned these before. Their little jaws have bitten me in the past. Snapped right on the web between my right thumb and forefinger and […]
Grateful For These
They orbit a Center in cyberspace. And sometimes in that sacred galaxy, entered words find their mark. There’s a holy collision. Splayed hearts melt, mold, and magnetize–creating and drawing new friendships. Deep friendships. Real friendships. Friendships that share joys and dreams and fears and hurts. That fervently pray and encourage and inspire. That speak truth […]
