Good morning readers and welcome to the Wednesday blog roundup. We try to present you with a variety of blog articles for your consideration each Wednesday. Here is your selection for this week. Of course we always warn that these are articles written by people and should be viewed against the backdrop of Scripture. Where the article clashes with Scripture – choose Scripture.

Marshall Keeble was preacher of the Gospel who, in his 90 years, baptized over 40,000 people.  Continue reading Wednesday Blog Roundup →

Let’s begin the Roundup with danger this morning. Here’s a brief, thought-provoking post from my good friend Joey Sparks. He calls it “The Most Dangerous Three Letter Word.” You may have other ideas and Joey has left the comments section open.

Joe Palmer has a group of article on a terribly dangerous item among us. He writes on alcohol and offers some serious considerations for the Christian. Begin with “Why Not Drink” and move on to answer the question, “Does the Bible Forbid Drinking Alcohol.” I think you will appreciate these articles and a couple of other similar articles on the subject. Joe also has a take on insurance – stupid insurance. You will know what he’s talking about and can add a little something to your day by reading this article.

Adam Faughn has moved his blog to a WordPress platform which is a big plus. Visit his new site at Faughn Family of Four. Adam offers us some thoughts on Children and what children can learn. He mentions that children can learn to worship and I strongly agree. Don’t pull the children out of worship because that is how they learn. From my perspective behind the pulpit a disruptive child is of no concern. Take them out, correct the behavior and bring them back.

Scott McCown is busy in  his office in Oakman, Alabama with a new post he calls “Top Ten Human Relationship Tips.” See if you can add a few in your life.

That’s going to wrap it up for this week. Be sure an attend worship services or prayer meeting tonight. The rest of your week will go so much better!

Yes, we have been slothful in posting our Wednesday blog updates. One of these days I am going to pop for a card for the laptop that will let me access from anywhere. But truthfully, much of my time lately has been spent in places where even a card to access  the internet via cell would not have been helpful!

Nevertheless, here’s our catchup edition of the roundup. We have some links on doctrinal issues, encouragement and an important link about an international treaty with terrible consequences for families.

Many good posts this week for your consideration. We’ll start with Eddie Parrish‘ site The Fire Within. He’s doing a good job and already has a number of comments which is good for a new site. Be sure and visit him.

Steve Higginbotham at PreachingHelp.org has really dressed up his site using a clean, attractive theme. Of course a clean theme without content is useless so Steve has provided us a nice reminder of what money really can and cannot accomplish.

Scott McCown continues to work hard to populate his blog with new and interesting posts. Here’s one that is sure to make you stop and think. Read Top Ten Imitatable Characteristics of Satan. It will wake you up and maybe even frighten you a bit. Keep it up Scott!

Licensed counselor Dale Sadler writes about anger at his site, In Search for More. This article reminds us that anger needs to be dealt with in a productive, healing way. Consider what he has to say in Flying Plates & Plumetting Anger.

Do We Feel Guilty for Being Saved is the intriguing title of Richard Mansel’s post at ForthRight. He addresses the sense of guilt that some push upon the church, namely the change agents. This blog has numerous posts by a variety of Christian authors.

The Great Flood of Noah’s day is held as the reason for the sudden death of certain fossilized remains in Montana. Kyle Butt of Apologetics Press notes the scientific reason for their death fits the Biblical account. Read Dinosaur Fossils and a Flood.

I appreciate Jeremiah Tatum and his article on beverage alcohol. It’s victims are almost numberless but our culture still upholds it as a an important part of adult life. See what you think after reading his observations at The Mocker on his Ancient Words blog site.

How to Become A Member of the Lord’s Church is the title of Neil Richey’s article at A Preacher With Wings. Is there a more important question?

A new blog for us today is Truth & Repose written by Drew Kizer in Leeds, Alabama. This post that I introduce you to is from a different view than what you might expect. Drew talks about the use  of poetry in the Scriptures and why it is important that we have some understanding of it. The name is Why Poetry Matters. This post actually supplements an earlier post called Line Breaks in the Bible. I’d recommend reading both. We’ll be adding Drew to our blogroll here at Preacher’s Study Blog.

We end today with an older article – from 2005 – written by Wayne Jackson at Christian Courier. This post is titled A Subtle Argument for Bible Inspiration. Wayne is an excellent scholar himself but draws upon the work of many noted academics in preparing this posting. It’s an old one but then some things never change.

So that wraps it up for the week. Have a great day and remember to thank God who gives us every good and perfect gift!

There are probably well over a million blogs on the internet. Some are whimsical and light hearted, some are personal reflections on the day, some are commercial and other deal with very serious issues such as health and finance. There is a subset of serious blogs that address spiritual matters. Within that  group is a small but growing body of blogs written by members of the Lord’s church. I offer you here a quick roundup of current articles worth your reading: Continue reading Wednesday Blog Roundup →
