Ed Stetzer and the Future of Denominations

Oct 7th, 2009 | By art rogers | Category: Blogging, Conferences, General Christian, Live Blogging, SBC

Could you tell that I’ve lost my passion for live blogging?  I’d forgotten to even write about Ed until this morning. :)
But I do have several things to offer.
First, Trevin Wax is here and is ready to challenge Timmy Brister for champ of the live blog.  Here are his notes on Ed’s presentation.
Also, here is [...]

I mentioned Friday that I was traveling to Jackson, TN for this conference and as you read this, I am on the road.
I mentioned that I would be blogging and twittering from there during the conference.  given that, you might want to check out my twitter feed: twitter.com/artrogers, or the missioscapes twitter feed: twitter.com/missioscapes, or [...]



Vietnam 2009: Reintegration

Mar 20th, 2009 | By art rogers | Category: Church, Confessional, Fun, General Christian, Live Blogging, Missional, Phriday fotos, Vietnam

I’m in the San Francisco airport and I’m noticing so many different attitudes – in those around us and (most disturbingly) in myself.
While moving through security, a man wanted past one of our teens and cursed them under his breath as he went by.  This may have happened in Vietnam, but mostly everyone just made [...]



Vietnam 2009: School Engagement

Mar 12th, 2009 | By art rogers | Category: Church, Family, Fun, General Christian, Live Blogging, Missional, Vietnam

In the rural mountains of Lao Cai Province, near the China border, there are schools serving ethnic minorities that live on neighboring farms.  The pictures above are from last year’s trip where we saw Forefront Church out of Virginia installing a computer lab, a water filtration system which will be used by the region and [...]



Simple Church 2

Sep 19th, 2008 | By art rogers | Category: Church, Conferences, General Christian, Live Blogging

Geiger is paralleling the shutting down of Starbucks for three hours in the middle of the week – all stores nationwide – to retrain the employees on how to brew great coffee.  They had gotten so diverse that they had forgotten the main thing.  They also have cut out all breakfast sandwiches because they compete [...]



Simple Church 1

Sep 19th, 2008 | By art rogers | Category: Church, Conferences, General Christian, Live Blogging

Ok, so I arrive at the church for the Simple Church conference and find that my camera battery is completely drained but there’s unsecured wireless internet in the sanctuary.
I’ll take it as a sign from God to live blog.  :)
We’re just getting set up and it looks like we’ll be starting soon.  They are graciously [...]



Founders Conference: Andy Davis

Jun 24th, 2008 | By art rogers | Category: Conferences, Live Blogging

Dr. Andy Davis is the Pastor of FBC, Durham, NC, who came to a theologically divided church which is typical of many FBC situations in the old south.  He led the church back to a theologically Biblical standard and shared with us ten “Dangers of Reforming a Church.”  (Or… 10 things to not do when [...]



Founders Conference: Ted Christman

Jun 24th, 2008 | By art rogers | Category: Conferences, Live Blogging

Well, it’s not live blogging, by any means, but I’ve gotten a tremendous amount out of today’s sessions, so I feel compelled to pass them on to whomever might be interested. I was taking good old fashioned notes on paper, so you get the outline, but I think it is worthwhile.
If you want more, [...]



Better Blogging: Hosting Your Own Site

Apr 22nd, 2008 | By art rogers | Category: Blogging, Fun, Live Blogging

I mentioned in Better Blogging: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) that Search Engines will evaluate your host server’s ability to handle traffic and will not send you what you can not handle. Nevertheless, having your own site instead of having a .blogspot.com, .wordpress.com, .typepad.com, .squarespace.com or whatever other free blog site you might acquire [...]
