(An abridgment of a former series). Posting with a Purpose The prerequisite to being ‘others-centered’ is posting with a purpose.

(An abridgment of a former series). The central theme emerging in this series of posts is influence. I maintain my original thesis: “If the content we publish is sound and profitable, influence is precious.” In the last post, the supreme benefit of using social media was the opportunity to expand influence.

2. Biblioblogs and Spheres of Influence
(An abridgment of a former series…) In the intro to this series, I summarized the main points of a thought provoking article regarding media trends.

Best Places to Find Greek 'Nuggets'

A few that I frequent: Decker’s NT Resources Blog Campbell’s Read Better Preach Better Blog Runge’s NT Discourse Blog Goodacre’s NT Blog Bird will sometimes offer up some nuggets at Euangelion… Continue Reading
What I Love About Accordance
After using BibleWorks (~5 yrs), Logos (~4 yrs), and Accordance (~1.5 yrs), I have found all three programs to have distinctive advantages and disadvantages as compared to one another. While I hope to offer an in-depth comparison of all three in a couple of months, I now offer what I love about Accordance relative to… Continue Reading
