not stuck here on to MOOCs and GEC


Let me share another one of my fears. On the one hand, I accept that it is essential to dedicate the coming months to leading others in these matters of prayer. That will greatly help those who participate as well as those we bless in the future. But on the other hand, I do not want to get stuck here. While prayer is core to personal and corporate spiritual life it is not the whole story. There are other facets of biblical Christianity that I seek to offer online as an educator.

When I took an online course with missionaries about harnessing digital media for discipleship God gave me a vision and game plan for offering courses in such subjects as Bible studies, community service, apologetics, character development, and apologetics. These accessible and affordable lessons will be aimed at youth, college students and those church members who are ready.  The sketch of those courses is on this blog post.

The studies show that those in the millennial generation are attending church less often than previous generations. Plus church attendance is decreasing for those of older generations. Yet every year people spend more time on their smartphones, tablets, and computers.

When I took an online ecourse with missionaries in March that is when I believe God gave me that guidance. Then there were major disruptions in my life including illness and grieving the death of my father. Plus as I prayed I felt led to start with prayer instead of the four gospels. And prayer is a much more complicated subject. I needed to deal with my twin fears of the fear of failure and the fear of success. Over the decades I had attempted to launch a ministry before and then after much preparation when I went public I got nea...

First General Survey

Help Me Help Others --- PLEASE ! This message is the start of an online ministry that is dedicated to helping Christians pray better. The name of this new ministry is Let's Pray Better. There is a link to the survey at the end of this message and your opportunity to subscribe to a new weekly newsletter at the end of the survey.

Surely you agree that there is much room for improvements in our private prayers, shared prayers, and prayers to serve this broken world. When I have gathered these results then this information will guide me i...
