Simple Tech Week #2 : Using Facebook for Spiritual Purposes
Welcome to “Simple Tech Week!” My goal for the five posts this week is to share with you five simple tech tools you can use to (1) connect with more people, and (2) get more out of technology in a simple way. Facebook has changed the way our technological world communicates. It has been one of the most amazing stories we have ever seen in the history of communications, to watch a site like MySpace basically “die out,” but be replaced by a site that has grown to where everyone from teens to grandmothers use it daily. I assume that the vast majority of you who read this (in other…

Simple Tech Week #1 : Twitter and Buffer
Welcome to “Simple Tech Week!” My goal for the five posts this week is to share with you five simple tech tools you can use to (1) connect with more people, and (2) get more out of technology in a simple way. ———————– For our first post, I want to tell you about two tools I use in concert with one another. As most of you know, I love Twitter. In fact, I have over 5 times as many Twitter followers as I have people who subscribe to this blog via rss. However, Twitter can be a time waster if not used properly. So, to begin Simple Tech Week, let’s…

Have a Kindle? Enjoy “Moments that Matter”
Today’s post is to let you know about a really neat project that I have been blessed to be part of. Recently, brother Jonathan Jenkins from Katy, Texas, got in touch with me and asked it I would write a tract. That may sound like no big deal, but the format is really interesting, and I think there is potential here to reach many people with the truth of God’s Word. Brother Jenkins is editing these tracts, but they are really e-tracts, because they are only going to be available on the Kindle. I think this is a wonderful way to promote the Gospel! Here are some facts about this…

Christian Bloggers, Please………
Having a blog does not make me an “expert” on blogging. I am thankful for every person who reads our blog, and this week at the Freed-Hardeman lectures, I have been blown away by the number of people who have said that they read these words from time-to-time. However, just having some readers does not make me some sort of “patron saint” of Christian blogging. However, I love this medium, and I have noticed some things that I like and that I think are quite effective. I read dozens of blogs (about 90 or so), and I see certain things that help some get read more often….without having to beg…

Mini-Post: Bible Study Link
My friend Daniel Howell bought a Kindle Fire. That’s part of this post. However, it’s the second part of the post that I think many of you will find interesting. If you like to study the Bible in electronic format, Olive Tree Bible Reader just made it easier. Here’s the link to Daniel’s article: http://cleanthecupmedia.com/2012/01/my-fire-y-new-bible-t3/ Thanks, Daniel, for the head’s up on this! I’ve already installed the desktop app and love it!

My Early Thoughts on Owning a Kindle
I am not a technology “early adopter.” While I like to know what’s out there, I usually wait quite a while before using something, and even then, I don’t really have a lot of gadgets. So, for a long time, I resisted getting any type of Kindle. Part of my reason was that I do so much of my work on a screen, and I didn’t really want to read from a screen even more. The other reason is that I already have dozens of print books that I haven’t read…why add even more? However, I did add a Kindle reader to my laptop and my iPhone some time back.…

Several of our goals for 2011 at Lebanon Road deal with technology. As of just a few minutes ago (literally), one of them is done. You can now subscribe to our sermons on iTunes!!! The name of our podcast is “Sermons in the Shadow of the Cross. You can search iTunes for that name, or just follow the link below. http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/sermons-in-shadow-cross/id481141695 We hope you will subscribe (for free, of course) and spread the word! We plan to upload about one sermon per week (as of this writing, there are two sermons available), though we might add more during special presentations.

Quick Tech Update
Recently, we crossed 500 followers on Twitter. I am amazed at that number. However, we are entering a time of the year when I go on Twitter a lot! With college basketball in full swing, I’ll be putting a lot of thoughts about that greatest sport on Twitter. I do know, though, that a lot of you aren’t fans of that sport, so I have made a decision. I am not going to tweet about college hoops on my @faughn4 Twitter account. Instead, I have started a second account for those of you who want my thoughts on NCAA basketball. Please go to Twitter and follow @faughnhoops . There, you…

What I’m Listening To
Okay, last week I got a huge number of suggestions of podcasts to check out. I mean, it was crazy to get… …zero suggestions. So, I’m going to share with you what I listen to. Before doing that, though, let me give you a few ways I “listen” to these. 1. I usually listen on double-speed. On an iPod (or iPhone, like I have), you can listen to podcasts at regular speed, or you can choose to listen twice as fast. Most of the time, I choose this option. 2. I am not trying to memorize everything that is said. Podcasts are for information, but not memorization. I am simply…
