BitBits 5/7/2010 – Botched Abortions and Rotten Apples
Here’s another round of BitBits. Francis Chan refuses to hold his tongue. Apple can’t take a joke and needs to loosen up. Your church has way too many programs. You may cry when you read this.
Francis Chan’s “New Middle Road” – Many Christians believe the road is narrow but live like there is a wide middle road. Chan never holds back. I like his willingness to tell-it-like-it-is.
Apple Needs to Lo0sen Up – Apple controls everything in their entire ecosystem. I’m a little concerned with what that means for churches…and their budgets.
Deprogramming Your Church – Do you spend more time doing “church work” and little to no time with people who don’t know Jesus? Perhaps your church is over-programmed.
Stop paying to go to conferences – Just read this site and you could save yourself a ton of money.
Apple is the New Microsoft – You love their products. I love their products. But for some reason I feel like I’ve been here before. They are facing possible anti-trust investigations by the government. The main reason why I post this here on a site about theology is because I think churches need to think twice about moving all their technology to one company. I hope to write more on this in the future but I don’t think it’s in our best interest to depend on one company for all your technology needs. Remember Microsoft back in the 90s?
Oh, Apple. Learn to take a Joke - Ellen makes a fake iPhone commercial. Ticks Apple off. Apple demands an apology. If you’re wondering why, consider the fact that Apple is a key sponsor of American Idol for which Ellen is a judge. Jon Stewart thinks Apple went too far (warning: harsh language!) with sending the police after a reporter who they say stole (or purchased if you’re outside the Apple reality distortion field) a prototype of the new iPhone.
Botched Abortion – No matter what side of the abortion debate you are on, you have to admit this can’t be good.

I love theology and the challenge of making deep teachings non-boring. Let's face it, most of the time we hear theological teaching, it really is boring. Does it really have to be that way? Nope.
