I'd like to explain to you the incredible significance of the Bible to your life, its amazing message and the importance of not ignoring it's claims...

We all have huge misconceptions about God. Most of us prefer to live with these rather than think them through. Its more comfortable that way. The fact that someone knows everything about us is disconcerting in the extreme. The worst of it is that we all have our skeletons hidden away deluding ourselves that only we hear them rattling. But God knows - and we know He knows...

When I was young we talked as a family about going to church. Never, in all my years as a child did anything other than the old, gothic-style, building come to mind when my parents uttered that familiar statement, "OK boys, we're off to church"...

There is no such thing as church history. This is because the church can never be studied in isolation as it is always related to the wider social, economic and political context of the day. The church may not be of the world but it is most definitely in the world and must always be seen as such...

In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in the room. There were no distinguishing features except for the one wall covered with small index card files. They were like the ones in libraries that list titles by author or subject in alphabetical order...

"One morning, I looked at my watch and noticed that it was time to withdraw for an hour of prayer. I looked at my watch and it said, "Time for prayer, Sid." But I looked at my desk and there was a miniature mountain of correspondence. At which point my conscience said, "You ought to answer those letters." So, as we say in Scotland, I swithered!..."

or: Nine steps to building a church website [and the pitfalls along the way]. 1 Getting leadership backing. Thankfully in Carrubbers, we had no problem here, although I have heard of churches who have decided to go ahead, and then placed so many committees in the way that the thing never gets published...

Running a church is a team effort, (hopefully) headed up by our awesome creator. He chooses to do much of His work through volunteers who only see each other once a week on Sunday, or perhaps through one or two additional meetings throughout the week. To facilitate that team work, much communication is needed, and where it is absent, friction often creates stress in our relationships, or the quality of the work deteriorates. The church should therefore look to take advantage of communication tools to streamline and optimize that communication. This article discusses where the internet might be able to help and how.

According to the Hear the Word.net Survey, April 2003, Carrubbers Christian Centre was (and likely still is) publishing more audio sermons online than any other church in the UK. ... Given these crudentials, it seems possible that there might be some useful hints we could pass on to other churches who are looking to do the same. By reading this article we hope you can learn from our mistakes, build upon our successes, and make The Word more pervasive on the internet :o)

Early in 2001 Carrubbers Christian Centre installed two screens and projectors and looked forward to saying goodbye to hymnbooks forever! Before this goal could be realised, we needed to find an appropriate program for displaying the songs on the screens. While the obvious choice is to use Microsoft's Powerpoint, or some other such presentation package, we were glad to be introduced to a special purpose package called Presenter created specifically for projecting songs on screen for use in church services...

We are often asked if we are able to provide our online sermons in MP3 format. Because an MP3 sermon is about 10 mb, this would mean quite a big download for users, but would also mean that we would have to find an extra 20 mb each week to host the sermons. This article was written to give help and advice on changing the RealAudio sermons that we produce into MP3 format.
