Sean does a great job of defining and dispatching open theism in one post. To me this is a great example of what I have been calling neo-liberalism. Remaking God in our own image was never a good idea. I challenge any emergant church or other reader of my blog who holds to that view to try and defend it biblically- I do not believe that you will find it very easy. As philosphically attractive as such an idea may... Read more
Phil of PyroManiac was very kind in his acceptance speach: Dr. Adrian Warnock has the largest and most-read Christian blog in the UK. I first met him in cyberspace in April 1996, when The Spurgeon Archive was less than a year old. He helped index all of my sermons for the World Wide Study Bible project. I haven’t kept up very well with him or the World Wide Bible, but I have read his blog from time to time over... Read more
Troubled Diva reports the current top 20 of all UK blogs. I am surprised but pleased at least from the point of view of developing an audience for Christian blogs that this blog is in that top 20 for the first time. The postions from a year ago are the first figure in brackets and the second is the number of links. As you can see, as far as UK blogs are concerned the number of links even for the... Read more
Quandablog tells a story of a mother and 6-year old child. Family life is so great! “The rain! ;’ she began, ‘is like sin, and the windshield wipers are like God wiping our sins away.’ After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond. ‘That’s really good, Aspen.’ Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little girl take this revelation?So I asked… ‘Do you notice how the rain keeps on coming? What does that... Read more
Here is a checklist of the top five things you can do to help the christian blogosphere as a whole succeed. Many of these will help you too. Some of these are based on my series on tips for blogging. 1. Ensure your site is listed in googles index and the Truth Laid Bear ecosystem follow the links to add your site (and in the second case ensure you click add to scan after your first submission)2. The Christian blogosphere... Read more

PyroManiac the blog of Phillip Johnson is causing such a stir in the blogosphere. I called Phil a hero of the internet largely because of his work on spurgeon.org, but now I am convinced he is heading for blogging greatness. The Warnie award is supposed to in part be a prediction that the blog in question, whilst not currently that prominent is heading that way. If I can give others a leg up the way guys like Josh Clayborn did... Read more
This is the kind of blogging I like best- me bouncing off David Wayne. Right now he’s posting about the security of our salvation and how that relates to Heb 6. Interesting that like me he went through a quiet spell recently and has now decided to serialise some sermon material (see my “what kind of church changes the world” series) I linked the other day to an introduction to the introduction, one of the many similarities between David and...
