Discipleship and Training | TheResurgence

Written by David Schlottman on . Leave a comment
Some great thoughts on the local church’s responsibilities by
Steve Timmis at TheResurgence blog:

Is it not a quiet madness for churches to largely outsource their discipleship (to parachurch agencies) and training (to theological colleges)? The best context for both discipleship and training is the people of God on mission (a.k.a. church).

SIM City: Saga of an iPhone SIM lockup

Written by David Schlottman on . Leave a comment

I spent most of my day, Saturday, driving to the Orlando Apple Store and back in an effort to revive my iPhone. The problem began on Friday.
