Productivity Tip # 2: Evernote

evernoteIf you are like me, you are constantly collecting ideas and information.  I used to have 3 x 5 cards and sticky notes all over the place.  Usually when I needed a note, it was somewhere else (the problem of having an office at the Seminary and one at home).  I ran across Evernote about three years ago.  It is a true cross-platform program.  I have it on all my computers (Windows), on my iPad, iPod Touch, and on my Blackberry (when I was using the Storm 2).  They also have the program for Android phones, Mac computers, and the web. 

What makes Evernote so great is that any note I create on any device will sync automatically through Wi-Fi or your mobile service.  It also allows me to have file folders and tags to organize my thoughts, take voice memos, photos, or even clips from webpages.  The uses are almost endless.

The basic service at Evernote is free.  Additional services (such as scanning documents, etc.) is available at a yearly rate.  I use it every day and have found the free service works well.

Stop forgetting and start organizing today!

A Famine of Hearing the Word

openBibleNew message has been posted for free download in MP3.  A Famine of Hearing the Word will explain to you why so many believers are closing their ears to the truths of God’s Word.  We will see this trend rise in 2011 for those that have abandoned God’s ways for their own.

Productivity Tech Tip # 1: Dropbox

dropboxMost of us in full time ministry have more than one computer.  In fact, we will have a computer at the office, one at home, and maybe a notebook computer, iPad, iPhone, Android or Blackberry Smartphones.  Wouldn’t it be great to have files that would sync and be accessible from all of these devices? 

I discovered Dropbox over a year ago.  I have thrown just about everything at it and it works easily and flawlessly.  It is installed on every electronic device I use (completely a cross-platform program).  The last two courses I have written I kept in Dropbox.  I have two current books on it and all my sermon notes dating all the way back to 2001!  They are always available if I am at the office, home or on the road.

Another great thing about Dropbox is that an account with 2 GIG is FREE.  I have all this information on it in Word (several thousand files) and I am only using 5% of my space.  Larger space is available for a nominal monthly fee.

If this sounds like something you would use, click on the link below to sign up for your free account.

Jesus & the Prophetic Significance of the Feast of Dedication

aaron-with-lampstand11

Most believers seem to drive right by the Feast of Dedication (or Hanukkah) not realizing that it has powerful prophetic significance to the New Testament Church and Jesus directly links it to “hearing His voice” in John 10:22-30.

You will find that today most believers listen more to the voice of the Greek King Antiochus Epiphanes than they do the Word of God!  This is a real eye-opener for modern Christians!  We will become the sheep that only listen to the voice of Messiah – the Good Shepherd or are we listening to the voice of another?
