Choose two of the three days this weekend to complete this task. On the first day you choose, sit down with a Bible (one with a concordance could be helpful), and a pen and paper or a journal. Think back to earlier this week when you considered aspects of God’s character, spent time in confession

Today, we’re challenging you to lean more on the Word of God than nourishment from food. That’s right: We’re asking you to fast at least one meal today. Fasting is a good way to discover what’s really in our hearts. You can learn a lot about yourself when you’re hungry and can’t have food. We

Scripture makes it abundantly clear that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Finding our place in relationship to God begins with recognizing our sinfulness and confessing our sins to Him. Spend some time today thinking of ways you have fallen short of what God requires of us. Try

Close your eyes and think of God. What images or words come to mind? How do you picture God? Write down or draw your thoughts. (You don’t have to write full sentences, but you’ll use these notes later.) Are there some characteristics of God that you don’t think about much? It’s common to think of

Last summer, I took part in the first Boundless Summer Challenge. We had a new task to complete every day; the tasks ranged from the easy (meditating on a thought or idea) to the very challenging (talk to a friend and ask how you can be a better friend). I had a blast and, though

In my home group Bible study, we’ve been reading and discussing Inside Out, by Dr. Larry Crabb. It’s an interesting book with several sound principles. I might not agree entirely with everything Dr. Crabb covers, but the various lessons, Bible readings, and subsequent discussions have given me plenty to think about. At the end of

It’s rare for someone to completely stump me with a question, but it happens. I’ll take a minute or two to think, then fire back the best answer I can muster. I may or may not be right, but I always give the best response I can … even if it’s, “I don’t know.” A

Last week we covered how to publish a WordPress plugin using Subversion. But many of us aren’t using Subversion. I know that after I started using version control, I quickly graduated to Git and Mercurial for managing distributed development. It makes it easier for me to collaborate with others, and makes it easier for other people

After a discussion on the WordPress Answers Stack Exchange yesterday, I thought it would be a good idea to explain the different ways you can develop plugins for WordPress. Since the official plugin repository uses Subversion for version control, that’s the obvious first choice when you’re just starting your development stack. So here is, step-by-step,

We all have bad days. Those days when all the world conspired against us and we fight tooth and nail to stay above the chaotic din of “those people.” This entire mentality seems to stem from a disdainful misanthropy that develops when we finally make the jump from childhood to adulthood. It’s definitely not something
