Ads

Courtesy of my friend, I read Sell Side Advertising: A New Model? blogged by John Battelle that discusses a new model of online advertising. This concept is kind of proactive on solving the problem of how to get the right advertisement to the targeted audience at the right place.

The model seems pretty good: straightforward and easy to implement. It would be even better if the model can solve a huge problem that no one yet can resolve--to show up an advertisement at the right time.

Oh well, that is a tough question that the smart people are going to tackel. On the other hand, wouldn't it be awesome if we can extends God's presense in this arena?

".... Christians seeking to extend God's sovereignty in every country, in every aspect of precinct of life, including such tough precincts as advertising, journalism, .... " Engaging God's World: A Christian Vision of Faith, Learning, and Living

Echoing to the 7/24 retreat, there are Biblical principles for every aspect of human life. If advertisment can convey dirty thoughts such as this, can people find the message from Him through this?

what can death do to us?

a lot of friends are struggling with the deaths of their loved ones recently. this is really sad, but the two incidents i experienced actually turned out to be good--in both situations the family memebers are standing stronger in faith and trust that our Lord is overseeing everything. In one family their members actually accepted Jesus as their personal saviour! i'm deeply moved by what God has done.

death is not our final destination, and prayer has immense power in it--our Lord really listens prayers!

每一次我禱告，我搖動你的手；
禱告做的事，我的手不能做。
每一次我禱告，大山被挪移，
道路被鋪平，使列國歸向你！
