Biblical plays on words

January 31, 2005

These jokes will make you laugh or groan and were of course stolen from elsewhere- in this case an email that was sent to me.
Q. What kind of man was Boaz before he married?
A. Ruthless.
Q. What do they call pastors in Germany?
A. German Shepherds.
Q. Who was the greatest financier in the Bible?
A. Noah. [...]

Was C.S.Lewis a neo-liberal?

January 31, 2005

I am going to leave to jollyblogger the tricky task of defending his hero C.S.Lewis AND penal substitution which a quote at The Destruction Of Gog certainly seems to suggest will be a challenge.
I am frankly still disappointed with the whole debate we have been having as to be honest I am not overly [...]

Sola scriptura and the wrath of God

January 31, 2005

The World of Sven has clearly wrestled honestly with some of these issues which are starting to divide the online community of “God bloggers”.
It is interesting talking to my wife about this. She is very gracious and loving but cannot understand why people who would deny the notion that Jesus died to take away the [...]

Wrath and the atonement- the debate continues

January 30, 2005

everyday musings and wink have been debating in the comments section of the post I just linked to. It makes for good reading.

Evangelical Blog awards

January 30, 2005

Believe it or not I do have some reservations about self-promotion, preferring instead to promote Christian Blogs as a whole. Anyway, those reservations plus a desire to not appear to be seeking a nomination for myself have prevented me thus far from linking to the Evangelical Underground’s evangelical blog awards. Since I have [...]

Breaking out of the ghetto- Christian blogs are more linked than visited

January 30, 2005

RazorsKiss.net has done us all a massive service by analysing the chrisitan blogospheres rankings at the ecosystem by traffic as well as links. He acknowledges the limitations of the traffic system, but nonetheless the analysis makes for interesting reading if you like that sort of thing.
AS an example of how difficult traffic mapping is, [...]

Aggregators of the world unite……

January 29, 2005

Southern Baptist Blogs has just launched. Handily he is using blogdigger which means that like the PCA blog, anyone who joins that blog will now automatically be aggregated also on the BofG page since blogdigger has an RSS feed. From my point of view it would be cool for the new God aggregators [...]

Blogging has no tone of voice

January 29, 2005

I am going to have to be more careful about my sense of humour. Responding to Sven’s parody I decided to respond in kind with a humorous post. I also posted what I hoped was a funny post about Jollyblogger at the same time. Unfortunately tone of voice is not captured in a blog post [...]

Be afraid….be very afraid Warnie is back!

January 28, 2005

World of Sven may have been getting fed up with my posting on blogging, but he and the neo-liberals may rue the day he reminded me that I had unfinished business with them!
If he thinks that I have forgotten about all that in my latest obsession with organising the Christian blogosphere, he is wrong.
I dont [...]

Disagreeing with the Jollyblogger

January 28, 2005

Having been accused of being too close to jollyblogger I decided it is time to find something to disagree with him over- but what I ask myself?
Could I disagree with his denominational aggregator ? But on what grounds? That I am gutted that there’s finally an aggregator I can’t join? That seems rather more self-seeking [...]

Building communities of online believers

January 26, 2005

There has been a little griping about whether blogrol and aggregator links count as “real” links or not. Well, as I see it every link of every nature is a vote in favor of that site, saying it is somewhere that is worth a visit. What is more every link is a signpost which ALLOWS [...]

The explosive surge of Christian Bloggers working together

January 25, 2005

Get a load of this! Initiatives like Hugh’s book, the Evangelical Outpost blogroll and the 10 Christian Bloggers project are driving a number of christian bloggers skywards in the ecosystem. We now have no fewer than 10 Christian blogs in the top 100. Working together I am sure we can drive that number even [...]

Separated at birth?

January 25, 2005

JOLLYBLOGGER posted on the issue of denominational blog lists on the same day I did. At least it wasnt like the time when we posted on the same subject within a minute of each other without knowing the other was doing so!!!
I was inspired by the hunt for plymouth brethern bloggers and the blogger [...]
