Five Years of Blogging
I have been blogging for over five years. My purpose in blogging has been basically two-fold: (1) to provide resources for Stone-Campbell history and biblical study that are connected to what I am researching at the time (or teaching in my Bible classes at Woodmont Hills) and (2) to reflect our common journey of faith through the various trials we all experience (pastoral theology).
I have never thought of my blog as one where I engage contemporary controversies, debates or “hot topics” (though I have occasionally ventured there only to confirm that I need to stay focused on my original purposes).
Given my five years of blogging that so many have encouraged (and I thank you!), here are the top five blogs since February 2008.
5. A Reflection on Psalm 84 for those Grieving Loss
4. The Egyptian Hallel and the Lord’s Supper (Psalm 113-118)
2. Women in the Assembly: 1 Corinthians 14:34-35
1. Psalm Lines that Comfort Me
Thank you for reading, but most often I write for my own benefit rather than others. I’m kind of selfish in that way. 🙂

Thanks for the balanced, deep material you share with us. I also appreciate you helping me learn some things about blogging. Now if I would just follow your example and do it more often! 🙂
