As Blake Shelton would say, "Holy Crap," . . . I can't BELIEVE George Strait isn't a member!

Interesting in regards to Gildan, as a Screenprint shop owner, I get requests for Gildan at 3 times

the rate of any other brand. Maybe it's working?

Artists must "earn" it by appearing frequently, and also must maintain it by continue to appear frequently (10-12 times a year)

Great thoughts on podcasting. Yes, there's lots of podcasts on all kinds of topics, but proportionately few of the Christian podcasts that are not sermons. So I started indexing a list of Christian podcasts at http://socialmediachurch.ne... for non-sermon Christian podcasts; it's a labor of love (apology for a late reply, but better late than never)

I listen to Albert Mohler's "The Briefing" just about every day before leaving for my office. It's great.

I like to go to the NIVAC set for commentary help.

I turn to Berkhof for theological help.

For prayer help I go to the Valley of Vision.

For pastoral help I turn to Baxter's the Reformed Pastor.

For global missions I reference my Operation World manual.

A good resource I have used is Portable Seminary by David Horton

I assume that the Bible is assumed.

1. The Works of John Newton. It doesn't have to be John Newton for everybody--but I think it benefits every pastor to have a certain guy in history that can "mentor" them. My guy is Newton.

2. Christ-Centered Preaching by Bryan Chapell along with Eswine's Preaching in a Post-Modern World. Best resources I've found on preparing a sermon.

3. Biblearc.com Learning how to arc is tremendously helpful in preparing a sermon. It helps me to see the main point and argument of a passage--and to be certain to preach that.

4. Soul food. I don't mean Chicken Soup for the Pastor's Soul, but I've made it a habit to put devotional/soul-stirring type of reading in my rotation. I almost could have written "The Puritans" here. They do this well. You get the idea that these men were stirred by the text that they were proclaiming. Pastors must be intentional about doing things that keep their souls lively.

That's a few. There are many more. I look forward to reading what you come up with.

What about Sara Evans? She is a chart topping legend as well and in my opinion is often underscored compared to Carrie, Faith, and Martina. But, when she puts out a song they can easily turn into number one hits and she has some of the most memorable songs in country music I.e "Born to Fly", "Suds in the bucket", "As if", and her most current hit "A Little Bit Stronger". I love Carrie Underwood to death and am a huge fan but she was asked to be a member only after a few years of her career. Sara has been around since the 90's and i think is deserving of the honor to being invited to the opry.

Well these are all good name but I would guarantee that these names are on the petition to reinstate hank Williams sr. So there you have it in a nut shell who ever signs the petition doesn't get into the opry.

Re: Platform: Great Risk or Great Reward

This has been a temptation of mine throughout my ministry and one which God has graciously and consistently convicted me of and protected me from. I'm sure many other young men looking to enter into, as well as ones currently in ministry share similar struggles with this in some form or fashion. Thanks for articulating this here. It is, as the commenter below said, full of conviction but also of grace. Blessings!

Trillia — Tue, 28 May 2013 11:07:24 -0000

I loved this for several reasons but to name two: It was full of grace. You can read "warnings" and confuse a pursuit of God and desire to love others through sharing with selfish ambition. Yet, you were clear to share challenges that are well worth our evaluation, whether we eat, drink, write, blog, do to the glory of God. Thanks for the balance here!

When a well-timed social media post that took Nabisco maybe 10 minutes to create (in response to the blackout) can win the Super Bowl ad wars, it seems that the era of traditional advertising may be coming to a close.

James Jackson — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 08:23:24 -0000

Awesome. I was encouraged by the fact that "Farmer", the "Clydesdale" spot, and the Tide "miracle stain" spot were the top 3 in USA Today's AdMeter; while Calvin Klein, Beck's Sapphire Beer (whose label features a red ruby rather than a blue sapphire, therefore encouraging not only drinking but also irresponsible identification of birthstones!) and GoDaddy were at the bottom. But you are right: until GoDaddy is no longer the #1 domain registrar, they probably won't change their game plan.
Which means that a better domain service ought to step up. After all, Hardee's and Jack in the Box have both pushed the limit recently with sketchy commercials, but they aren't number 1 and 2 in fast food. Why? Because you can get a better hamburger somewhere else. Lesson: companies aren't going to tone down until companies offering a superior product step up.

Well said, JP. Well said, indeed. I would be curious to think what else you think we need to do in addition to connecting with the culture without compromising our message. Again, well done@
