I’ve added some blogs I’ve started to read and have found both edifying and profitable in my thinking as a Christian. They are:

5:17church – our new church plant has been running along smoothly, and our Pastor (Steve Nation) has been regularly updating our church blog with excellent thoughts.

Euangellion – Michael Bird, lecturer at Highland Theological College in Scotland, recently made a trip to QTC. I was quite impressed with his sermon at chapel and part of the seminar I attended on ‘The Messiah in the Old Testament’. This is a blog he contributes to and I find his book reviews and thoughts very helpful.

Between Two Worlds – this blog has a number of wonderful contributors with excellent thoughts and reflections on both life, culture and theology. This blog is updated often throughout the day (since it has multiple contributors) so it’s worth having on your RSS feed and keeping an eye on it.

Koinonia – deriving its name from the Greek word (κοινονια), which is often translated as ‘fellowship’ in our bibles, this blog includes an impressive list of contributors – including the likes of Bruce Waltke, Chris Wright, Craig Blomberg, Darrell Bock and Tremper Longman III. A great resource for bible teachers and preachers with excellent little snippets of commentary on biblical texts worth reading.

Fan Into Flame – Pete Ko, a good friend and Pastor from Sydney, has a great blog with excellent thoughts and reflections. And speaking of reflections…

Reflections – yeah…Ying Yee isn’t known for coming up with catchy titles, but don’t let that steer you away from this fantastic blog. Ying has had years of experience working in Chinese Churches and this blog is a welcome addition to his ministry not only to Chinese Churches in Sydney, but across the world.

Finally, Challies Dot Com, is a blog from Tim Challies in Toronto, Canada. Tim has excellent book reviews and is a well thought-out Christian blogger. His updates and reflections are insightful.

I’ll be borrowing an idea from Tim Challies also – his blog contains a frequent update known as ‘a-la-carte’, a collection of various news clippings and blog posts of interest. So as to not a total rip-off I’m going to label mine ‘Specials of the Day’ which you will see in future postings.
