Johann Hari has some advice to bloggers: “Imagine you are sitting in a pub, you’ve grabbed somebody’s attention for just a second, and you are saying to them, ‘Listen. I have something really important to tell you.’ If you can’t do that with your subject material, if you can’t convince yourself that you could hold somebody’s attention in that situation, find another subject. “ Read more
This is interesting, despite having only just started and so far only including a tiny proportion of the potential God bloggers out there, we the Blogdom of God has overtaken both the Liberal Coalition and the League of liberals in terms of daily visits over at The Truth Laid Bear: Weblog Alliances What is interesting given our previous discussions is that all the other alliances are STREETS ahead in terms of their linking of each other and therefore the total...

Baby Jesus Banned.: “one-hundred-fifty copies of a Christmas CD donated to the hospital to give to sick children spending the holidays in the hospital has been banned by the hospital administration. The reason? They fear upsetting people who don’t celebrate Christmas particularly because one of the songs mentions Jesus. But this may have backfired because a Muslim Cleric has spoken out against the ban…… The ban is being seen as the latest attempt to de-Christianise Christmas and was yesterday condemned... Read more

Having had some most excelelent feedback from some of you I have decided the following statement may now be used as an introduction to the Blogdom of God A new Alliance has been forged. The God Blogs have begun to unite. This potentially formidable force... Read more
More from the Times…. It is a curious fact that no man likes to call himself a glutton, and yet each of us has in him a trace of gluttony, potential or actual. I cannot believe that there exists a single coherent human being who will not confess, at least to himself, that once or twice he has stuffed himself to the bursting point…… unlike pride, envy, wrath sins we can wholeheartedly condemn, sins that are hard to love there’s...

From the Times Newspaper: Sin is not a subject, with the possible exception of certain behaviour at the office party, that is especially associated with the Christmas season. It is, though, a rather important Christian notion…… According to one authoritative source, a schedule of eight great offences was first drawn up by Evagrius of Pontus, a Greek monastic theologian, who considered gluttony, lust, avarice, sadness, anger, acedia (spiritual sloth), vainglory and pride as mankind’s principal failings. Pope Gregory the Great... Read more
It has always been my belief that the arguments for and against the Iraq war are finely balanced. It is nice then to see a British journalist being very positive about the war. Lets hope they are right. Times Online – Comment: “Al-Qaeda had its Pearl Harbor on the ninth of September. It was a sinister and secret attack. The parallel with Pearl Harbor does not consist only of the profound shock to all Americans. When the attack on Pearl... Read more
Another prolife step: “Wisconsin now has a Born Alive Infants Protection Act that offers babies who survive an attempted abortion the same legal rights as other children. Signed into law last week, the Act gained support after articles described incidents such as one involving a 23-week infant born alive after an abortion and placed in a specimen dish to be taken to the lab, where she died three hours later.” This kind of development is wonderful. The thought of a... Read more
According to Mark, : “The gospel was never designed for an overwhelming response rate. ” well tell that to the people of China or parts of Africa and Southern America at the moment. Tell it to those who still remember the Hebredeen revivals, or even Billy Graham meetings where thousands streamed forward. Tell it to the christians born in previous centuries in England and America who saw revivals with men like Wesley and Whitefield. Remember the Kingdom was intended to... Read more
