Jollyblogger is quoting Blogotional favorite G.K. Chesterton. I am proud of being fettered by antiquated dogmas and enslaved by dead creeds (as my journalistic friends repeat with so much pertinacity), for I know very well that it is the heretical creeds that are dead, and that it is only the reasonable dogma that lives long enough to be called antiquated.. — From Autobiography (1936) — It is so typical of Chesterton to say so much with so few words. Consider... Read more

Guest post: On Getting Sick, Packing to Move, Penske Trucks, My Fleshliness, & The Righteousness of Christ Last week may well have been one of the worst weeks of my life, to speak of. Following the week-plus long struggle with gout, I picked up a cold while I was at the Desiring God Regional Conference. As a humorous sidenote, I’m sure it had nothing to do with the fact that my dear brother, Dave Cruver, had his house cold enough... Read more

By: John Schroeder – Blogotional There is quite a bit of stuff floating around the Godblogoshpere right now about the concept of a “personal relationship with Jesus.” The best, if very heady, post I have seen so far is Jollyblogger’s. David points out how very close the concept, as it is generally understood today is to gnosticism. I pretty much agree with what David has to say, but want to hit some highlights here and comment. My objection here is... Read more

I am a Guest blogger like several others whilst Adrian is on holiday. ( or maybe he is at a BA retreat!) (BA = Bloggers Anonymous)Anyway, I wondered if any one else has a problem with the fact that John Eldridge thinks that God takes risks? I am not attacking John Eldridge as a person or as a Christian, but the idea he has presented in at least one of his books.If God does take risks then He is not... Read more

Hi, my name is Adrian Warnock. I am a blogaholic. Its been four days since I last wrote a post on my blog…… Here I am sat in an internet cafe with my wife and children safely at the other side of the room enjoying the new books, cakes and beverages I bribed them with earlier so I could escape “The Family Holiday” and “Quickly check my emails”. I just had to check the old g-mail account for the latest... Read more

An Old Link Made Fresh Earlier today, an old link was made fresh by a comment from a reader. That’s what keeps old links fresh, by the way – continuing to comment on them! This particular piece is a short one I wrote, actually asking for input. It was entitled, “The Gospel According to John Eldridge Reader.” (Excuse what you can in my part of the post…it was one of my first ones!) It is located in the sidebar menu... Read more

By: BlogotionalMiscellanies On The Gospel had a great post yesterday, looking at the gospel in light of the movie “Million Dollar Baby.” He cross-posted it on Adrian Warnock’s UK Blog while Adrian is “on holiday” and using guest bloggers. Since Adrian has invited me to guest blog as well, I will cross ost this there as well. If you haven’t heard, the movie ends with the Hillary Swank character beggin Clint Eastwood to kill her after a completely dibilitating injury... Read more

One of the things I intend to do while Adrian is allowing others access to his site is promote some lesser-known God blogs. Truth be told, I have not verified the traffic of the following sites. They could already be in your blogroll. What these blogs have in common is I have found them to be of quality content, and they seemed to be destined for more traffic with or without my help: One of the mysterious characteristics of God... Read more
