I am a huge fan of Dean Peters work on blogs4God. I am starting to get into the habit of submitting all my source links to blogs4God. The new b4G is a social bookmarking site like Digg where you decide what is important in the Christian blogosphere. At the very least, you should subscribe to the RSS feed.

The first step is to visit blogs4God and register. Then drag this bookmarklet onto your Bookmarks toolbar in FireFox.

Send to b4G

Then when you discover a great blog post, click the Send to b4G link in your toolbar and share your discovery.

NOTE: I wrote a NEW b4G bookmarklet that is better than the one you find at the bottom of your profile screen.

eBible, the most innovative Bible search engine, just added the NIV text to its Bible search engine:

Yes, one of the most read and most trusted Bible translations is now here for you reading and searching delight. We are always excited to unveil new features to you guys, but this is something that many of you have been asking for and we are happy to bring it to you. We have been working hard for a long time to bring the NIV to eBible.com and we want to thank IBS-STL Global, the new ministry formed by the March 2007 merger of International Bible Society and Send The Light, for making it available. The NIV is now the default Bible for eBible.com visitors and if you are a basic or premium user you can make it your personal default by simply clicking here.

This gives you no reason to make eBible your default Bible search tool.

I rarely have business cards when I need them. Even in this age of digital communications, the business card is still a “must have” tool for ministry. This applies not only for so-called paid staff, but to any ministry team. I am ordering some cards and here are a few online providers that provide really cheap 4-color printing:

• Printing For Less
• 123 Print
• Overnight Prints
• Vista Print
• PS Print

If you are able to use standard shipping, then these printers are really, really cheap. I am using Vista Print for the first time and getting several business cards printed for $3.99/250. Be sure that I will let you know how that goes.

One tip before you venture into online printing, make sure that you review the specifications of the formats they will accept.

Pocket Sized Communications

If you want to be totally cool, get a Moo Card. Moo allows you to create cards (as if by magic) from a Flickr account. You can get 100 mini cards for $19.99. So how would you use Moo for business cards for your ministry?

• Create a Flickr account for your ministry
• Upload and organize photo of your ministry in action
• Use Moo to select 100 photos of your ministry
• Add your contact information
• Get your cards in the mail

Put a couple in this cool business card holder by Umbra. And you have an amazing communications tool for your ministry that fits into your pocket.

Sorry this one got out the door before I finished; I will be updating it so that it actually has 66 Bible resources.

I am too late for Easter 2007, but I’m early for Easter 2008. I just found this Google Map created by Open Bible that follows Jesus through the Holy Land during the Passion. It is too bad that you can not zoom in too far. It would be amazing to have a Google Street View of the last week of Christ’s life.
