Recommendations

Good Blogs to Read

/ Tim A. / 2 Comments

It has been some time since I have put any recommendations for blogs to read. I still commend those who I have read from the beginning, such as Heavenly Heartburn, Hungry for Holiness, Byway Blessings. Those are still wonderful reading, but there are some new ones I enjoy.

I am only placing these in a somewhat random order so I am placing no order of preference. I recommend these by also saying that I do not always agree with what they write, but appreciate many things that they do. The first one I want to tell you of is Trinitarian Don a blog by Don McConnell, dean of Trinity University’s Law School in California. Then, there is Devine Theology by Dr. Mark Devine currently Associate Professor of Christian Theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary near Kansas City, MO.. Another one along the line of Theology is The Baptist, and you will enjoy his perspective on Baptists and Southern Baptists in particular. I also discovered this one and I am not sure of this man’s full name, but I do enjoy his articles. It is called, The Shepherd’s Staff. I will end these recommendations with one by a fellow Missouri Baptist Blogger; and that is Shepherd’s Walk by David Krueger.

My prayer is that these will all be a blessing to you in your reading.

Some Good Reading

/ Tim A. / 3 Comments

There is one thing that I have discovered over the past year, and that is that I have found something that I really enjoy doing, and that is blogging.  I do not think that when I began on January 9, 2006 that I even had a purpose or reason for starting FIRE AND HAMMER blog, but I believe the Lord gave me one soon after.

I read a statistic that there are 1 billion people that have internet service or have access to it.  That clicked in my mind.  I read many blogs which seemed always negative about the SBC and such as that.  That really became discouraging to me.  If there is 1 billion people who have access to the internet, then it would appear to me that Christians should be using it to lift up the name of Jesus Christ, presenting Him as crucified, buried, rising again, and soon to return.  That is what I have endeavored to do.  Only God knows how many have been touched by the words that have been written here.

There are many other blogs which glorify Jesus, and point to Him.  These are some I want to recommend to the readers of Fire and Hammer. I have recently discovered two which are connected with Pyromaniacs. These are Biblical Christianity, and …And His ministers a flame of fire. I have not yet put them as a link here, but will soon.

There are others which I linked with from Heavenly Heartburn, and they are ChristianLifeAsATruckDriver; then, there is Gordon’s wife’s blog, Byway Blessings. Another one from Gordon Cloud’s site is, GodsLove&StoriesOfThePast

.

There are many wise words which are written on these blogs. There are many others which I could tell you about, but I will save that for another time; soon. There is truth, encouragement, and blessing in these. Let’s pray that we continue down this path, and not get away from seeking the glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless you all
