Thank you for this today Steve. Very encouraged by the upcoming series.
Christian blogging is one of those questions so many people ask about (i.e., "what's it supposed to look like?") and that so many others have various definitions for. It's as simple as expressing your heart from a Biblical worldview - but within in that "simplicity" falls all the gray areas that many Christian bloggers aren't sure of. I look forward to what you have to say on this.
RE: Reconciled. VERY much looking forward to that.
Your blogcasts are a blessing to me and I appreciate being able to tune in each day.
Thank You Steve!! I've been a fan of your music and now to hear your voice giving us encouragement by sharing your heart. Looking forward to the future blogcasts!! Soli Deo Gloria Aaron "Tree" Landis
Often when you post articles that are well written and non-controversial I do not comment because I do not have anything to contribute BECAUSE the bases were covered so well that I had no questions, etc. In other words, just because the comments go down, the readership of such articles likely goes up or at least maintains readers that truly long to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord. This is not to say at all that the controversial articles lack substance ... by far I would say they present necessary discussion on those hard issues that sadly tend to attract trolls. Press on Campi. I appreciate your heart for truth and sound doctrine. Your boldness has been a shining example to me.
thanks for your helpful and encouraging words steve... i'm just starting my blog and long to keep it Godward, dealing with issues, specifically our call to mission as Christ-followers, from a Biblical perspective.
I esp loved the "Jesus is our..." blogacst last weekend, I think it was the first or second one anyway. Cant describe how inspiring it was just hearing that wonderful exposition. It is evident much preparation and prayer go into these and I'm thoroughly enjoying the listening experience.
2. No gratuitous cursing; corrupt speech; unwholesome talk; graphic sexual references; or foul humor used to attack another person or bring shame upon the name of Jesus Christ, His gospel, His Word, or His church.
3. No anonymous posting allowed. You must fill out and complete the Blogger bio form on all essential categories completely (i.e. email, blogs, city, state, vocation, etc.). In regards to name: first name only is acceptable-last name can be included at your own discretion. AND, you may only post under one name at a time--no multiple "nicks." Please enable blogger to allow your profile to be shown.
4. No drive-by posting. No posting in book form; keep it a reasonable length that will encourage others to post and promote further biblical discussion.
5. Titus 1:9 says, "instruct in sound doctrine and refute those who contradict." Though I allow diverse and vigorous discussion to take place here, unsound doctrine can assuage both orthopraxy and orthodoxy, and therefore, will be confronted fearlessly and refuted relentlessly when it is expressed.
6. Any current comments, past comments, and/or all future comments on any article(s) at COT will be deleted at my sole discretion that do not honor the letter and/or spirit of the above.
7. You may not copy any comment thread or portion thereof (except your own) and reproduce or distribute them either electronically or in printed form without written permission from the blog administrator. To do so will be to violate the copyright and license provisions of this blog. You may copy a portion of any article (a few paragraphs) and link back to this site. You may not link to your blog to redirect any discussion on any article to promote your own site. Please keep the discussion here as intended. Reproducing the entire contents of any article posted at COT at another site, book, magazine, newsletter, mailing, etc. requires written permission from the blog administrator. This does not apply to unedited works that are already public domain reproduced here.
8. In short, you’re my guest here. I value your opinion and am happy to provide you with a forum in which to express it. Please respect my hospitality by not using this site to further a personal agenda or demean others, including moi. Failing to comply with these rules may result in a request for you to leave.
Musicianary; Bible teacher/preacher; religious satirist; biblical reformer; Protestant, and evangelical provocateur. After twenty-nine years in CCM, you get introduced in concert in the most odd and yet, memorable ways.
My personal favorite? John MacArthur once introduced me at Grace Community Church as: "Keith Green with theology." Keith was a dear friend of mine... I was very honored. I started in music ministry in 1978 with the release of "Saying It With Love"-my first album. Since then, by God's grace, I have released a total of 18 CDs/albums.
