Dealing with Demanding Disciples
Are you discipling a demanding person—someone who leaves you feeling perpetually frustrated? Haggai 1:6 provides an accurate description of a demanding disciple: unproductive, ungrateful, hard to please, never satisfied, and self-indulgent. No matter how much you pour into a demanding disciple, chances are it will never be enough.Should you give up on such a person? Not necessarily! But you will need to tackle the root of selfishness that is often at the heart of demanding behavior.One way to attack selfishness is to teach, model, and practice its opposite: servanthood. Philippians 2:4 exhorts us to "look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."You can apply this to your demanding disciple by providing her with natural opportunities for service. The next time you have a major project to do at home, ask her to come over and give you a hand with it. Suggest acts of service you can do together: preparing food in a soup kitchen, helping a neighbor move, or doing yard work for an elderly person.If Scripture memory is part of your discipleship program, learn together several verses that emphasize the importance of giving and putting others first. Choose from among the following:Mt. 5:16 Mt. 25:40 Acts 20:35 Ro. 12:10 1 Cor. 10:24 2 Cor. 9:6–7 Gal. 5:13 Gal. 6:10 Phil. 2:4 1 Pet. 4:9Explore the Scriptures together for examples of the consequences of selfishness (Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5, Achan in Joshua 7, Haman in the book of Esther) and the bl

Looking for the Power of AdSense Search
I’ve got to admit I’ve never been too impressed with AdSense for Search. I just haven’t seen great results with it. In fact I’ve always considered it the stocking-filler of AdSense’s goodies: nice to get but nothing like as much fun as the main package.But maybe I’ve been underestimating it. After all, the results page is a great example of AdSense optimization. You get hit with a perfectly blended, giant ad unit right above the fold (I wish they’d make that unit available for websites!), good content and a second giant unit at the bottom of the page. I’m pretty sure those pages have been delivering good CTR... once people get there.And that’s always been the problem with Search. Very few people use it. And that’s fine. I get paid every time someone clicks on an ad. I only might get paid when someone does a search, and I’ve got no control over what they’re searching for. I’d much rather people click on my ads than search and leave without giving me any money.But I get a lot of site targeted ads that pay by CPM. On those pages, I don’t care whether the users click ads or not. In fact, I don’t want them to click. I want them to generate lots of page views... and then I want them to search and leave.If you’ve got a site that’s getting a lot of CPM ads then, I think it’s worth making that search option nice and prominent. You could put it in the side bar sandwiched between a list of related links and surrounded by eye-catching color. You could write in big letters next to it “Want to learn more about [the topic of your website]?” and

Best Time Period for a Home Mortgage
A mortgage is necessary for people who do not have enough cash to be able to pay for the house upfront. It is basically a payment scheme where the borrower can choose between different schemes and time periods (whichever is most comfortable for him) to pay up for the house.There are different kinds of home mortgage schemes. One can avail of a fixed rate home mortgage scheme or an adjustable rate home mortgage scheme. In a fixed rate home mortgage scheme, one can avail of a house by paying the same amount monthly, for a certain period of time, regardless of the situation of the economy. An adjustable rate home mortgage scheme allows one to make use of the fluctuations on the interest rates to finance his home.Whether one is availing of a fixed or adjustable rate home mortgage scheme, the time period for paying up is a very important issue. The period will be determined depending on the agreements between the borrower and the lender. The usual periods vary from 15 to 30 years. There are two basic yet very important tips to consider when choosing the time period for a home mortgage.1. Study interest rates Interest rates are bound to go up. Analyzing the interest rates movements can give one an idea of whether it would be worthwhile to spread the payment longer or shorter. One might need the services of a professional in this aspect, but it will be worth the pay.2. Know your budget If you have or if you know that you will have enough money to be able to pay for the house in a shorter period of time, then do so. A shorter per

Site Promotion Tools- One More Reason to Get it Right
Website owners have a desire to get the word out about their website as soon as possible. This is an understandable desire. The feeling is a bit like knowing what you want in the “day after Thanksgiving’ sales and having to wait in line to get into the store. You want something to happen they way you want it to happen – and you want it to happen NOW.The problem with this line of thinking is that when you submit (or have someone do it for you) to search engines you have one chance to make a good first impression. If your site isn’t complete the initial spider technology will only rank your site based on the information that was actually on your site. It could be awhile before spider bots come back through your site to reevaluate your ranking.When an entrepreneur jumps the gun on site promotion tools they may find a lack of success in site rankings. In most cases these sites aren’t ready for that first dance with search engines.When entertaining different site promotion tools you want to be sure to maximize every step you take. When you pursue marketing exposure prematurely you can wind up minimizing the effectiveness of the tool.Imagine using a hammer to strike a nail. The hammer can’t do its job if when it’s ready to swing the nail hasn’t been manufactured yet.What I’m saying is the hammer of search engine rankings is being called into play and the nail of a finished website is still in the design phase.A website can be in production for an indefinite period of time, but when you call on the search engines to evaluat

Audio Books on CD - The Best Quality Available
By using digital technology to place audio books on CD, it brings the stories to life like never heard before. Audio books on tape are soon to be replaced by audio books on CD bringing a superior audio quality and improved durability. The CD format is used by publishers, retailers and rental clubs making it a favorable format for the industry.Audio books on CD have two types of formats:1. Regular CD compression which allows for approximately 80 minutes of audio recording time. But the time also depends on the audio file size of the audiobook. This is the most common type that everyone is use to as most computers have the appropriate CDR burners. With the regular compression, this means that multiple CD's are needed for one audiobook recording.2. MP3 CD compression takes the same audio file and compresses it down to a much smaller size. This allows for more audio recording time and less CD's needed for an audiobook. Audio book rental clubs have less CD's to ship and listeners can now listen to audio books on fewer CD's. MP3 compression has become very popular with the creation of Apple iPod and the various MP3 players. Audio book MP3 CD's are growing in popularity as a result of the players, therefore more audio book titles are available in this format.This does not mean you should take your old audio books on tape and throw them out. No... You can convert tapes to CD very easily, adding more titles to your audio book on CD library. Converting audio
