Men, It’s Time To Take A Stand Against Pornography!

Men, It’s Time To Take A Stand Against Pornography!

I have a question for you. If I told you, as a Christian man, that I had used pornography for its intended purpose, would you be more shocked that I had used it, or that I had admitted to it? I think we all know the answer to that one.

Pornography in America is big business. It’s everywhere. In fact, it’s invading, to the point of actually becoming part of, the very core of American culture, and it’s tearing this country apart. Many have come to think of it as so out of control, it’s beyond the realm of possibility to even think about reining it in. I disagree.

For years the teachings we’ve heard on pornography, what few sermons we’ve heard, and scientific studies that have come out on the subject, have focused on the harmful effect of it on the body, the marriage, the family, and the general degradation of morality in our society. While all these things may be true, the best efforts of the most well-meaning people out there have had very little, if no effect at all on the spread of it. The reason for this, in my humble opinion is two-fold.

First, it hasn’t been seen for what it truly is, and therefore, hasn’t been taken as seriously as it should have been. Secondly, good people have very simply remained silent; A lot of this having to do with our own shame in using it ourselves.

5 Reasons Why I Broke Up With Google Reader And Now Using Feedly

5 Reasons Why I Broke Up With Google Reader And Now Using Feedly

Google surprised many of us with the news that they would be shutting down Google Reader as of July 1, 2013. This was not welcome news because many folks, including me, consume most of their blog content with an RSS aggregator. Google Reader is simple and easy-use.

I relied heavily on Google Reader to search out the blogosphere for useful content to share across my social networks and with my community.

So what now?

Have you discovered Feedly?

Why I Chose An Android Tablet Over An iPad

Why I Chose An Android Tablet Over An iPad

There is so much buzz today about tablets. There are tablets running Android, iOS and now Windows 8. Seems like every company under the sun is getting into this expanding marketplace.

They now come in different sizes, colors and everything else in between. With all these choices what tablet makes sense?

I put in some serious hours reading through reviews, going into stores such as Best Buy to test the options out there and talked with many folks that blazed the trail and purchased one before me. I immediately removed Microsoft’s Windows 8 from my list! Honestly, I simply do not like the user interface and its not that intuitive!
