First things first, apologies for this blog suddenly sounding like a tech blog.  But, Apple users like me are used to upgrades and the like being really simple.  This is true for the move to IOS 5 but only if you follow these steps and have the confidence to do so.  It will take a while (maybe more than two hours) but you will have time to do other things while you wait.  Also, this will be the last time... Read more

For months, UK iTunes users have wondered if Apple’s new service which allows you to re-download your purchased music to any device you own would launch in the UK. Well, I can tell you that I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes here in London and it has now added this service to my Mac. It doesn’t work for films yet, and I hope it will at some point, but this is major news for anyone with a UK... Read more
This article makes an interesting point about the unintended consequences of technology for the global church: Recently I met with members of the Digital Bible Society. DBS specializes in collecting and distributing Bibles and theological material in closed countries. They distributed Chinese language materials 10 years ago on tens of thousands of CDs.Today the team at DBS prepares gigabytes of the Bible, Christian books, and videos like the Jesus film, and puts them on e-readers and microSD chips. Today’s Bible... Read more
RT @pastoremase: Coveting is the bratty sin of entitlement where we believe we deserve more than the Lord has provided # @monty5811 The impact of Apple is felt not just in its own products but in the way others respond and emulate them often cheaper. in reply to monty5811 # RT @terryvirgo: Today we've exchanged contracts.

It is sad that a true desire for excellence seems to be very rare today. We would do well to look at what we can learn from the most successful company of our era: Apple.  Here are some comparisons between the values Apple embodies, and those of  many companies today:  Be passionate Be rational Lead, don’t follow Be cautious Aim to surprise Aim to satisfy Be unreasonable Be practical Innovate incessantly Innovate when necessary Sweat the details Get it... Read more

RT @byHannahDavis: "Joy unspeakable and full of glory! And you have to wear armor as well. That's the Christian life." – @TerryVirgo # Why do Christians speak about the cross all year round but the resurrection only at Easter? Belief in the resurrection saves us. # Some people mistakenly thought @terryvirgo was retiring this summer. Check out his hectic calendar on his website to see how wrong that is! # A weekend spent with family is a precious gift. Don't... Read more
There is no question in my mind that Steve Jobs played an immense role in shaping society’s attitude to technology. I think it would be hard for anyone to argue against the idea that the world is a better place because of what he contributed. Human beings have incredible potential to leave a lasting impact for good. It seems to me, reading this following piece on how and why Steve Jobs was adopted at birth, that today he might well... Read more
Steve Jobs has died of cancer. I think a suitable way to remember him today is to read this quote from him in 2005, not very long after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. There is no doubt that he made a massive impact in those “extra” years since the diagnosis to which in the end he would succumb: “When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was... Read more
