Growth in The Christian Blog World

Growth In Bloggers in Christian Blog World


Man oh man there are many Christian blogs out there. Here are some urls to check out:

http://pilgrimchristian.blogspot.com/ Called Doctrines Of Grace (one of the best)

http://gracefellowshipmh.blogspot.com/ Called Ponderings and Musings (wonderful, simple and to the point!)

http://teampyro.blogspot.com/ Called Pyromaniacs (Not focused on Practical Christian living but when the writers do get there it is usually good)

http://christianthotsataglance.blogspot.com/ Called Christian Thots At A Glance (focused on practical Christian living)


Many have rightly taught about the Character of God, the plan of salvation in the complete definition of the grace of God, the sacraments and the church universal with the need for local functionality. Many stand and have stood for truth against modern and liberal movements. In all of this I say thank God. We have a voice and a new (and may I say cheap) medium for the message of the faith once delivered to the saints! So fellow Christians lets continue to blog. Okay?


Today I just want to state that I have seen growth in the Christian blog world where Christian bloggers are starting to talk about “body life” issues. We are seeing things discussed such as Church discipline, forgiveness and reconciliation, worry, fear, etc. Things that will help us all grow in the faith.

Now some die in the wool systematic theology folks will probably say something like this, “But you are leaving the fundamentals of the faith and moving into a “how to” social Christianity.” Well I certainly hope that is not what is happening. I would have no part of that. What I think is happening is that as the Bible gives sufficient answers for all life, faith and godliness the fundamentals of solid doctrine is applied in a practical manner since it alone supports how we are to live life to the glory of God.

So below are some titles of examples of what is beginning to happen to help Christians grow in their faith and in progressive sanctification.
