Posted by Joshua Claycamp on

BlogThis is a list of recent blog posts which I found interesting. That I found them interesting doesn't mean I necessarily agree with or endorse all of the ideas presented in the posts, but that I found them to be intriguing and thought-provoking. They may benefit you as you prayerfully consider your area of shepherding and stewardship, which has been given to you in trust by the Lord. (They are listed in no particular order of interest.) Please post your comments to discuss  any article that strikes your interest. If you have recent blog posts to nominate, please send the link and your reasons for nominating that post to

Infanticide: The Coming Battle

“First, they won't call it ‘infanticide’ (killing infants) but ‘post-birth abortion’. The reasons are obvious. The word ‘infanticide’ strikes horror into our hearts. But ‘post-birth abortion’ makes it sound like the termination is simply an extension of abortion, which we are culturally adjusted to. Yet the terminology is grossly inaccurate.”

Luther’s Desperation

Steve Fuller finds a lesson in Luther’s life: “God's Word promises that your own prayers will powerfully bring God's help. But since God's Word encourages us to ask others to pray, that must mean their prayers will bring even more of God's help.”

The Kingdom of God

This is a short primer on the kingdom of God. “Any kingdom will consist of a king, his realm, its citizens, and the law that regulates their lives. This is true of God's kingdom as well. What follows is a short overview of the Bible's presentation of God's rule over God's people in God's place according to God's law.”

Should We Boycott Starbucks?

Nathen Busenitz, of Grace to You, writes about Starbucks’ moral stance and then looks at a similar situation in the New Testament to ask if we should boycott the chain.

Don’t Be Late

We do announcements at the beginning of our worship services at Bridge Baptist Church, and this is done for a very specific reason. So I appreciated this take on why you should do your utmost to be at church on time. What many people don’t consider is that worship services are carefully constructed (at least at a good church!) and that there aren’t any throwaway components. “The beginning of our corporate worship is thoughtfully put together with the aim of directing our thoughts toward God. From the opening Scripture to the closing benediction every piece of the liturgy is a piece to a puzzle that, when assembled, gives us all a fuller picture of the gospel.”

The Reading Brain

“E-readers and tablets are becoming more popular as such technologies improve, but research suggests that reading on paper still boasts unique advantages.”

Kim Jong Un

We’re all trying to figure out Kim Jong Un. If he pops off a few nukes, some of my dear friends, the few and proud, will be strapping on the mean greens, locking and loading, and heading out to sea.  This profile from The Washington Post is quite an interesting one.
