Study: Cell phones increase crash risk

This just in : cell phones increase the likelihood of a driver getting into an automobile crash.

Great study. My four-year-old cousin could have figured out that using a distracting device while driving would increase the likelihood of getting in an accident. But you know what topped my list of crash risks? Check this out:

Top Crask Risk Factors
----------------------
1) Stupid people
2) Smart people who drive stupid
3) Smart people who drive smart but get too close to stupid people
4) Smart people who drive smart but have stupid people as passengers
5) Cell phones

Rebels With A Cause

They were innocent, but they were imprisoned. They fought with love, but they were received with hatred. They were seeking life for all, but found themselves crucified and stoned to death. They were rebels with a cause.

The early church as recorded in the book of Acts in the New Testament describes a group of people whose lives were transformed by the power of God; because of that, they wanted to see that same power transform the world. They were bold and courageous with their faith, even to their deaths. They were the church. 2000 years later, the church (in America especially) has become comfortable with its quiet times, inward-focused ministries, and caging of God.

Where have all the rebels gone?

My church, Quest, will be taking the next few weeks to dive in to the rebel church of Acts and what they did to add to their numbers daily (Acts 2:47). If you're in the Champaign-Urbana area, feel free to come to our 11:00 a.m. service.
