Worship Matters has a great series of posts on idolatory on sunday mornings. I love this quote he has from Lloyd-Jones Preachers and Preaching: “Our Lord attracted sinners because He was different. They drew near to Him because they felt that there was something different about Him. That poor sinful woman of whom we read in Luke 7 did not draw near to the Pharisees and wash their feet with her tears, and wipe them with the hair of her... Read more
Its that time of the year when we look back, get all misty eyed and think about the year that was. This will probably be a long post, in it I will first reflect on the ridiculously flattering but also rather humbling level of readership that has come this way in 2005, then I will review the highlights of the blogging year for me. Its my chance to think about what I have liked about blogging this year- who knows... Read more
Its happening again. I found a row (translation=argument!) is brewing in the christian blogosphere once more – even in the middle of the Christmas break. The row all stems over exactly what is supposed to have been said in a chat room back in August. Once again, I am not going to take sides this time – and am even going to resist the temptation to link to the relevant posts, as it will only add fuel to the fire.... Read more
I took this picture just after my wife took hers. It reminds me of what has been somewhat of a theme for meditation for me over much of this year. Life is a journey. It is made up of many, many steps. So often we worry needlessly, when all we need to do is concentrate on taking the next step, and being sure that we are headed in the right direction. In my encounters with others, I need to be... Read more
I took this photo on the way to Adrian’s parents yesterday. It is a part of Epping Forest. Our new camera is proving addictive…… Mrs W Read more
Wesley blog picks up on what he is calling the Warnock Wars whilst English Bibles disagrees with my postion on literal translations. Wayne has been added to my list of blogs that turned my eye (see my left hand sidebar) it is time I acknowledged that blog. I often disagree with him but there is no doubt his site is the best resource on bible translation on the net. As an example of the sort of fantastic post often available... Read more
This photo was taken in my garden this morning. The kids had a great time! Read more
I am enjoying the christmas break, but as a compulsive blogger how can I resist the urge to at least do a quick “blogspotting” post? Its been quite a while since my last. Popularised by The Curator blogspotting is quite simply a way of thanking other bloggers for taking notice of this one. So what have people been saying? Interviews The Josh Harris interview has been linked to extensively, and many are very gracious about it claiming it to be... Read more
My Christmas present to myself is a redesign on the blog. It will no doubt need some tweaks but I have finally succumbed to the ubiquitous three column template. Let me know how it looks on your screen and any tips you can suggest to improve the look….. I am going to try and keep off this thing for a few days- thats my christmas present to my long suffering wife! If your name is not Tim Challies, I am... Read more
Nominations can still be submitted for the final warnie of 2005 – I will be rewarding it between christmas and New Year. So, get typing and why not take the opportunity to thank the bloggers that have most influenced you this year. Being specific about posts that have stood the test of time and ways in which blogging has enriched your life would be most encouraging to bloggers I am sure. Please remember to make your nominations on your blog... Read more
