L.L. Barkat explores how the blogosphere is transforming the way Christians connect. “In this new body-of-Christ scenario, anyone can spend a morning as an evangelist, or encourage someone who’s grieving, or enlist a prayer warrior, or infiltrate a group of wise and friendly grandmas.” (HT: Goodword)

Paul Edwards questions the appropriateness of ranking the 100 largest churches in America. “Can you imagine any of the inspired writers of the New Testament ranking the church at Ephesus above the church at Philippi, and Philippi above the church at Thessalonica based solely on how many people were showing up each week?”

Ben Witherington talks to his son about Halo 3 and its use in church youth group settings. “Should we play them at all in church?
