The following post has been crossposted at theologica and submitted to the “God or Not” carnival which is a unique opportunity for dialogue between atheist and christian blogs.

Sponsorship and promotional oportunities for blogs

September 20, 2005

It is amazing the untapped power of blogs. If I was a marketer right now or a website designer I would be working out how I could best leverage blogs to help me in my quest to shape the way consumers feel about my product. I wonder if at some point in the future, significant [...]

Childrens book review: most of all Jesus loves you

September 19, 2005

The Baptism with the Holy Spirit as a distinct experience and speaking in tongues

September 17, 2005

Blogotional disagrees with my thoughts on the Holy Spirit: “Adrain does a wonderful job earlier in his post of defending his assertions scripturally, but here I see no such back up. Save for the the Acts account of Pentecost, I see no evidence of a conscious and separate experience marking receipt of the Holy Spirit. [...]

Teaching kids about lifes knocks, or "you give and take away"

September 17, 2005

I hope I never forget a conversation I had with Tamasin and Henry my two oldest children last night. Already my kids know most of the bible stories well and like me can become almost too familiar with them. I suddenly realised, however that we had never told them the story of Job, however. So, [...]

What is the gospel?

September 15, 2005

I have written my first “proper” post over at theologica: It is interesting how we launch straight into a forum like this and get stuck into some great theological discussions. I think though, it is important that we don’t assume too much at the outset. A while back a debate raged amoung some theoblogs about [...]

Book review- The Deliberate Church, Mark Dever

September 15, 2005

This book was for me a book of two halves. The first half outlined the thesis of the authors, namely that it is God’s word and in particular the gospel that should be allowed to set the direction of the church. The opening chapters were quite simply outstanding. I liked the fact that Dever is [...]

Gratuitous self-congratulatory post alert

September 14, 2005

The Reluctant Puritan has described me in probably the kindest ways anyone has in a long time: “Probably tied with David Wayne as the nicest guy on the internet. Adrian is also one of the most popular Christian blogs.” Apart from his totally over the top assessment of me, he seems to run a decent [...]

Verse of the day – when feeling vulnerable

September 12, 2005

Ro 8 is a fantastic chapter in the bible. The following verse (v31) is speaking loudly and clearly to me today, and is one of those verses that almost needs no comment: “If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for [...]
