    Technology wise, what does your church struggle the most in

    by Pastor Matt

    I'm curious, in what professional area of technology can your church use the most help in where finances make it challenging? Websites, social media manager, soundboard training, graphic design?

    What platform is this site built on?

    Is it custom coded or is it from a forum framework or something else entirely?

    Open Source Bible

    by Danny Carlton

    I've been getting a lot of requests from people who run ministry sites for help, or data that will allow them to create their own online Bible on their site. So I decided to make it more readily available. I grabbed the domain https://osBible.org which now redirects to my GitHub repository containing a number of MySQL table downloads as well as a few simple scripts for accessing the data. I'll be adding more scripts as I have time.

    Have your computer become your T.V

    by TheGloryLand

    Couple of years ago, I got rid of my cable T.V. Saved much money. I got me a digital antenna for my T.V free local and more stuff, and watch internet like YouTube from our devices to my T.V screen. I remember having in my back yard many years back a large 9 foot round dish for T.V signals, time flys. We are living in the computer World. I was wondering why did God let man get so advance?

    New site in development: NotForsaking.com

    by Danny Carlton

    If you want to check out the progress on my newest project I whipped up a development mirror to show the current status. If you go to https://dev.notforsaking.com/ you can see what I have so far. --Monday I got the page to load all Tulsa churches. --Yesterday I changed it to a static page and loaded the churches via ajax. --Today I polished the design and made it look better. --My next step is to start zoomed out showing the entire US and show grouping markers for the states, with a count of how many churches are listed in each state. --After that I'll allow grouping markers for cities as the map is zoomed in. --At the …

    What are your experiences with using ePaper for ministry?

    by John Young

    I just ordered this digital notebook to help with writing my notes to text. So far from my research (at $200) it seems to be the best compromise to the ReMarkable 2 ($500+). Anything over $200 I would just go with the Lenovo Duet (At $250 with keyboard and cover included and pens for a small extra cost, it is the best value/quality alternative to the Surface Pro $600+). I'll try to do a review of the "ORIGIN" after I get it for those interested. I got my wife the Lenovo Duet and she loves it. It has replaced her laptop and it is practically a do it all device. It doesn't have a lot of built in slots but has an all in one USB-C slot that can pretty much connect to a d…

    Windows 10 Version 1909 update.

    by Alan

    I do use two OS's on my computers. 1. Linux 19.1 2. Windows 10. Version 1803. Due to automatic windows updates, Windows took away my version 1803 and installed the new November 2019 update, Windows 10 version 1909. Among other problems, the following was terrible. 1. The update took away my Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail system. I had to re-install it. 2. The update took away my Corel Video Ultimate 2018 video creator. I had to re-install it. 3. Worst of all, it replaced my Windows Office Home & Student 2016 and replaced it with the a version that will only allow me to even look at my documents using One Drive. Now, I cannot use my Offi…

    Church Apps

    by Pastor Matt

    Does anyone here attend a church that has its own Android/iphone app for its members? It the day and age that we live in, it seems more and more common that churches are using different forms of technology. If your church has its own app, Do you find it beneficial/helpful? What size is the church? Did you stop printing paper bulletins and go digital? Did it increase the tithing/offering?

    Ages Digital Library software.

    by DaveW

    Many, many years ago I came across "The C.H. Spurgeon Collection" for a super bargain basement price - so I grabbed it. Now I am not a huge Spurgeon fan, but I can appreciate his body of work. When we upgraded the church computer, we went to a 64bit system, and it seems as though no matter what I do, the Ages software will not load. I have downloaded the PDF's from the disk (that is the storage format), but the beauty of the software is that it gives a great index system. I can print the index, but then have to go and find the individual PDF files - painful...…. (21st century problems hey?! ?) So, any of you pooter gurus know of any way to get t…

    Hello, I would just like to share this new online resource I found to the group. I think it's quite nice and the features look good so it might be of help to anyone who wants to start their own website and spread the Good Word. It's called the hPage website builder. You can create a free website there but if you want the upgraded features, there's a package for that as well. Check them out here: Create a free website - hPage.com

    Ever get scammed into one of those "calls" or know someone who did? http://www.pearltrees.com/awhn/the-loud-cry-revelation-14-12/id5277051 Ever know anyone who was scammed into allowing a person on the other end of a phone access to your computer, and then after you got suspicious, or agitated, they immediately "syskey'ed" your windows computer, and now you are permanently locked out of your own computer unless you pay a ransom fee to the very persons who hijacked you? Well, I actually have such a story, and I have a pretty simple solution that worked for a relative of mine, who came to me with their now 'Syskey'ed' machine, Microsoft tablet. I took th…

    Bible software for Linux

    I wish to install Bible software for Linux. I do have a DVD with the OnlineBible, which says it will install under Wine, but when I try to install it to USB stick it says I don't seem to have administrative rights for that operation of that drive. I looked on some websites and one recommended Sword (It said the Linusx version was Xiphos) or Word. Has anybody tried either of these? How would I download and install one of these. PS The laptop mentioned in my previous thread just went click and failed again. It worked for a month, but I didn't use it every day.

    Some months ago, I spilt a cup of coffee over my other (newer) laptop. The lid was closed but the PC died straight away. I stood it on end and about 24 hrs later I tried it again and it worked for about 30 minutes then just died again, I tried a number of times over that period but it did not work. Also tried my local repair man from time to time, but couldn't contact him This evening I plugged it in and it booted up. It seemed to work but was very slow. I have left it charging in the other room. It may peck up later. All my files are on it which I thought I had lost, I will have to back them up.

    I am using uBlock Plus which has been stopping all ads, but today I get large ads on the right hand side of the screen. They take up about a third of the screen. How can I stop that? One I get quite a lot is The Continuing Church of God. Any idea why? On a number of sites I have my password remembered, but also today, they have not been remembered.

    Charts for Revelation - Diagram

    by Alan
    • 3 replies
    • 1.1k views

    No Nicolaitans or Brethren, I am in the process of learning how to draw charts, or in computer language I found out, to 'diagram' the charts for the Revelation Study. One of the reasons (I am finding out), why it takes so long to learn how to operate a computer is that you need to learn computer terminology. The computer software I am will be using, is the Linux 5.0.3 LibreOffice Draw diagram program. Thus far I can draw some basic circles, insert text, insert colors, draw boxes and lines; but, not much else. For example: I can delete the boxes, color and text, but the instructions do not tell me how to delete the connecting lines to the boxes. Nor have I, so fa…

    Creating a module for theWord Bible software

    by No Nicolaitans
    • 2 replies
    • 1.5k views

    Hi everyone! I would like your prayers. As I've mentioned before, I use theWord Bible software. I've also mentioned using the dictionary Robert Cawdrey's "A Table Alphabeticall" as a study aid. It was released in 1604 and can assist in what some words (used in the King James) meant at that time. As I've looked through it, It's truly amazing at how some definitions have changed since then. I'm in the process of trying to make "A Table Alphabeticall" into a module for theWord, and I then hope to make it freely available to other users. It's a daunting task, and it will take some time to do since my time is so limited. However, I think it's worth the effort an…

    Full Circle Linux 1 2 3

    by No Nicolaitans

    Years have passed since my first adventure into Linux operating systems. I started out with Ubuntu. As my knowledge of Linux grew, I delved into other "Ubuntu-based" operating systems. That led me to Debian...which required a trifle bit more user-experience in order to make things work. In turn, I then went on to use even more "user-experienced" Linux operating systems...from Slackware, BSD's, Arch, and I also tried a brief stint with Gentoo (which makes Arch look like a wannabe). As my knowledge grew, I built and made available Ubuntu and Debian-based systems for others to use. It's been a grand adventure! All of that to say this... I'm back to Ubuntu, and…

    Arch Linux - Easy Installer

    As some here may know, I'm a Linux OS user. For anyone who may be a Linux user, and you've wanted to try Arch, but you didn't feel comfortable or ready to attempt installing Arch...this might be for you. If you're new to Linux, DON'T install Arch, or you'll be doing a lot of this --> Arch is sort of like the pinnacle of Linux. I won't go into all of the details, because unless you're familiar with Linux (and Arch), it won't mean much to you. Just know that an Arch installation isn't easy! I've tried several of the "easy" installers...Pacbang, Architect, and Antergos. They were all easy (compared to a regular Arch install), with Antergos being the easiest way to g…
