Blogging For Christ’s Sake
Tod Bolsinger has posted a pastor’s eye review of Hugh Hewitt’s book, Blog : Understanding the Information Reformation That’s Changing Your World. The two parts are “How Hugh’s Book Will Help You Get It: A review.” and “Blog, for Christ’s sake.” He believes that blogging is a natural extension of what a pastor already does. I’m not a pastor, so I can’t say for sure whether or not his ideas are good. They make sense to me, though!
Book Review: Total Truth
Tim Challies has posted a book review of Total Truth by Nancy Piercey. If you have haven’t signed up for the giveaway, make sure you do it now. The deadline is tomorrow.
Updates on the Philadelphia 11
If you’re not familiar with the Philadelphia 11 (sometimes called the Philadelphia 5 or Philadelphia 4), they are a group of Christians who showed up at a homosexual rally in Philadelphia to protest. They were immediately harrassed by a homosexual group known as the “Pink Angels”, hounded by the police and ultimately arrested 35 minutes after their arrival. (Video of what happened can be viewed here.) Five of them — one of them a 17 year old girl — have been charged with a number of felonies which could put each one of them in jail for 47 years!
Here are a number of articles on what is happening (most recent article first):
