PAYING IT FORWARD
You may have seen the Kevin Spacey movie Pay it Forward, which illustrates the biblical principle of the far-reaching effects of random acts of kindness performed with no expectation of return.

Indeed, it is acts of mercy that often pave the way for people to even hear the good news, as the Gray Matrix concept graphically demonstrates.
This 3-minute moving Thai film illustrates the same thing.
ADVANCE DATE FOR YOUR DIARY - IE DAY 2014
The 2014 date for Internet Evangelism Day
is Sunday 1 June. April and May dates were not possible due to a late
Easter and other later event clashes in some countries. Here's a short news item to share.
COMMUNICATING WELL
"People don’t believe what you tell them.
They rarely believe what you show them.
They often believe what their friends tell them.
They always believe what they tell themselves."
- Seth Godin

Existential angst. Stand-up comedian Louis C. K. was on the late-night show Conan, explaining why he doesn’t want his kids to have smart phones. He may well be right, but the reason I am highlighting this item from the excellent Second Nature blog is because both he and his interviewer (from 1:21 in) admit to the horror of existential loneliness and how ready people are to cover it up with displacement activity. (And the audience laughter indicates a ready understanding of this avoidance strategy.) Jesus-followers either forget this feeling, or, growing up as believing children, may never have experienced it at all. We need to empathize and engage with it.
It is rare to read or hear anyone using this angst avoiding strategy as a starting point to share the good news. Would you agree? Do you know of an effective and appropriate use of this?
