You can count on the new Byte-Size to include cutting edge articles and suggested tools to help you reach out to your community and grow your church.
	Editor's Note from Bill Tenny-Brittian
	I won't take up too much of your time (or our space!) in this issue. I just want to personally welcome you to the new Byte-Size. I simply want to mention that you'll start seeing Byte-Size Net Results on a monthly basis beginning with the issue. Additionally, the articles included in the edition will match the theme of our full Print and Digital versions of Net Results. Which reminds me, if you haven't taken a look at Net Results lately, you haven't seen Net Results. I grew up cutting my church-planting teeth on the magazine. I was always impressed that there was so much there that I could use in my setting. Well, I've made a commitment that every edition of Net Results will be chock full of practical, hands-on, how-to articles. I hope you'll take a look and consider joining the NR family with a subscription! (You can subscribe Here!)

Another 37% believed that evolution was no big deal theologically, and that God could use natural selection or anything else to achieve God's purposes. And fewer than 12% of the public believe that humans evolved from whatever without the presence or guidance of any God at all. Read the Rest>>
