Having more than 300 million active users and counting, Facebook is no doubt the most popular and fastest growing social network in the planet right now. But Facebook is NOT the only social network out there. Nor even the best.

There are more than 250 themes available for Firefox. You can find all of them here. If you want to "Christianize" your browsing experience, I recommend that you use the Bible Fox theme. As you can see in the screenshot, the icons used in this theme are familiar Christian symbols (fish, dove, cross, church, etc). This theme is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. It is compatible with Firefox 3.0.
Ubuntu Christian Edition users do not have to install this skin because Bible Fox is the defau...

The latest stable version of Firefox is out now. Click here to download the best browser on the planet and be part in making a Guinness World Record today.
I have two Linux boxes - one runs Ubuntu 8.04 and the other Fedora 9. In Ubuntu, all I have to do is to let the Update Manager do the job. In Fedora, on the other hand, I have to download and install Firefox 3.0 manually. Well, at least my "yum update" command did not yield any Firefox upgrade (I wish Livna were that fast in updating its ...

Other6 is a website that asks two simple questions: Where have you found God today? Where do you need to find God today?
The website (www.other6.net) invites its visitors to share their experiences of finding God in everyday situations. Some people experience God through liturgical celebrations, the sacraments and the bible. But finding God is not just about making contact with him through prayer, but also about experiencing Him in the most ordinary situation, good or bad. You do not have to wai...

Here is a list of what I consider as the best Christian videos I have seen in 2007. These videos have one thing in common – very powerful and inspiring messages.
Each of the 5 videos has taught me something worthwhile. I must say that “The Bridge” and “Everything” have even moved me to tears. I have used these videos in my talks and presentations, and I have seen that their messages of hope and inspiration have also touched the audience in a deep way. I hope that the videos will lik...
