Looking into Steve Jobs


The cover story in this week's issue of World purports to examine in depth what this man was like.  If you haven't received your copy yet, come to class anyway.  I will have extra copies of the main story available.

Next Up

This is the issue we will be discussing in WorldMovers tomorrow.   First week:  cover story;  you know the drill.

It was great to see all the new faces in class last Sunday!  Please join us again tomorrow!  For those who don't know our mantras, let me review the basics of World Movers:
  • We pray our way through a review of world news events and issues, as reported in World magazine.  Prayer is how we move the world. Our own hands are too short, but God's reach is not.
  • We "get smarter" about the world we live in. We discuss additonal information, point out insights and questions, and practice analytical thinking.
  • We hold eveything to a Biblical standard. We cannot live in the next world yet. We have to figure out how to be Christians in this one for now. We need to "prove all things."
  • We look for communicable concepts..."sound bites" that we can use in our conversations with others.  There is way too much bad thinking going around.  We can speak God's truth into it.
  • We look for action points, some for ourselves as individuals, and some for Dove Mountain as a body. Through our commitment to the Manhattan Declaration and the additional updates we get from World Magazine, we have become much more passionate for pro-life issues, for example.
  • But the most important thing we do is pray.

One More Week

This will be week two in WorldMovers for the issue with the cover story, "All Tied Up," (September 24, Vol. 26, No. 19).  Since we discussed and prayed for the cover story last week, ay article in the issue is fair game to discuss.
