If we are not careful we can brag "on ourselves," rather than promote the truth of Christ in humility with our web sites. I have been doing evangelism using the Internet since 1995 and have seen my share of Christian sites that violate the 7 things you mention here.

All those "creative people" in our churches NEED this sort of input. I have two comments: first, would you visit our church site at www.faithpc.org and let me honestly know what you think... don't worry - no animated crosses there! Also, stop by my worship music blog: www.dandykatkonnection.blogspot.com and make a comment or two... BLESSINGS! What a GREAT site!

EVERY person that creates a website, church or not, should read it. We very easily get to wound up in "cool" stuff and miss the point of what we are really trying to do. Thanks! Jack Dave

You seem to constantly refer to different things to help fledgling church web designers. If you had a "resources" section that included just links to all the stuff you refer to that would be awesome. By the way, I always appreciate what you have to say. Keep it up! Joe Dean,
