The Gospels and Film (and stewardship?)
Part of being a good steward is imersing yourself in the communication habits of the culture you live in and using those habits to tell the story of God's love for humanity. Bill Seaver (THE Web 2.0 guru for churches wanting to implement new media strategies) has just finished work with a company called Modern Parables. Their goal is to tell the story of Jesus and salvation through short films.
Thanks Bill for reminding us that it's our responsibility as stewards of the Good News to tell the world in such a way that they'll hear and have an opportunity to respond. (In the end, isn't that the ultimate goal anyway?)
Being good stewards, living as good stewards involves more than just what we do with our money. It's a way of living that says "God owns everything"--my money, talents, etc. It's very simply the only response we can have to the total sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. Anything less cheapens God's grace.

Microexplosion mentions this blog
Microexplosion is authored by Bill Seaver. (The guy who wrote the e-Book that is on the right hand side of your screen.) He is one of the most creative and innovative thinkers I know. And he knows his stuff when it comes to Web 2.0 and the social media explosion.
He mentions this blog in a post yesterday.
Bookmark his site and visit it often. And e-mail him if you're interested in how social media could benefit your ministry or church.
Thanks Bill for your commitment to Kingdom growth through social media and Web 2.0 tools and strategies!
