In the top 1000

November 30, 2003

in misc

After all I said earlier today about the Kingdom of blogs and how I was doing my best to get back to real blogging, why did it cause some interest to me that I have made a jump in the Ecosystem. It seems if the contest was about drawing peoples attention to some lowly blogs like mine then it has succeeded. Today I jump to being a Flapping Bird (a high honour indeed for a blog thats less than a year old!) and also go below 1000 in the rankings as well. So in theory I am now in the top 1000 blogs on the internet.

That probably meant less to me than being described as an ‘excellent blogger’ by Nick Queen of Patriot Paradox in an email. His remarks about the King of Blogs contest being ‘only a game’ were probably timely also. I have certainly enjoyed it!

All this blog promotion stuff can get rather addictive if you aren’t careful though. Perhaps it is just as well that I have got a CD of an old preach of mine on meekness out to listen to this week! If Blogging is in danger of making you proud, why not listen to or read

my sermon ‘Blessed are the Meek for they will inherit the Earth’

A liberal approach to terrrorists….

November 27, 2003

A liberal suggests that we should stop attacking countries that don’t espouse Western values: “, and leave them to evolve in their own way at their own rate. That policy is to invest the billions that the US is now spending on arms, to instead provide those countries with humanitarian aid — money and supplies [...]

A challenge unanswered….

November 26, 2003

Over a year ago He Livesposed a question: “Arminians: Why did you choose God?” No one appears to have answered it I wonder why? Perhaps they weren’t predestined to!
But, over on a Joshua Claybourn comment section, the very same author seems to hit on probably the hardest issue for us Calvinists to answer. It [...]

Indeed, believe it or not the events of 9/11 leading as it did to a greater [...]

All you need is love….

November 25, 2003

All obedience begins in the affections, and nothing in religion is done right, that is not done there first.
(Matthew Henry on Mt 22:39-40 – the greatest commandment)
We are separated by some period of time from Matthew Henry I fear that we no longer understand what he meant by affection. You see love [...]
