Jesus.Net Widget: An awesome tool to share the Gospel via your blog/web site

Jesus.Net Widget

Once a Pastor told me it would be a great idea to reserve a page in my blog to share the Good news about Jesus. I liked the idea. Then I thought the world wide web is a place for creative and dynamic content. Presenting the Gospel in the traditional and static format would make my visitors feel boring.

Free web based worship service planning software

There are plenty of web based worship service planning software available in the internet. However most churches have a limited budget and they can’t afford to use such awesome services. Therefore in today’s article I want to share about free web based worship service planning software.

X3 Watch – Free internet accountability software

1. What’s an accountability software?

Select "I accept the agreement" and press the "Next" button With accountability software, a user has an accountability partner who is sent copies of the web pages the user looks at. The idea is that if the user knows the accountability partner will be keeping track of his or her Internet usage, the user is less likely to visit sites that will not be approved by the partner.

2. What is it not?

An accountability software is not an internet usage monitor. Neither it’s designed to block the user from  accessing inappropriate web sites.

How to install ChurchInfo in a Windows based Computer?

Introduction

ChurchInfo LogoThis is how I found out about ChurchInfo. Recently we decided that our church membership information must be computerized and as usual I was asked to do the job. However none of the commercial Church Management Software I came across could fit into our budget. Then I googled to see whether any free and open-source applications are available. ChurchInfo is a free church management software designed to help churches track members, families, ministerial groups, pledges and payments and perform many other useful tasks. It meets most of the features offered by commercial ChMs though it falls short of a fancy user interface. It’s originally designed to run in Linux based servers and I will host this in one of those very soon. However most of you will be comfortable with running it in a Church Computer powered by a Windows Operating system. In my situation I wanted to do a test run in my PC before paying for a web hosting service. I used a Windows XP machine for this job – but this method should work on Vista and 7 as well. This is how I did it? Click here to read the rest of, How to install ChurchInfo in a Windows based Computer?
