Christian Carnival XXXIII
Posted By Jason on 9/1/2004 @ 4:02 pm
Welcome to the 33rd Christian Carnival. I got so wrapped up in blogging Arnold's speech last night, I got a late start on the Christian Carnival. Enjoy this week's excursion.
This week our tour of Christian bloggers starts at La Shawn Barber's Corner. She brings up an interesting point about illegal immigration from a Biblical point of view.
Among illegal aliens I have brothers and sisters in Christ...However, I am not required to ignore or oppose justice against lawbreakers, even if they are believers. Government is supposed to punish lawbreakers, and Christian criminals are not excepted.
At the second stop on our tour, Brandon Watson asks us to reflect on the Resurrection.
Next up, Mark D. Roberts continues his series on the Church in Crisis with a discussion this week on Scripture and the Debate About Homosexuality
Our tour heads South of the Border to the Book of Mexico for a modern Tale of Two Jonah's. A little story about two guys who didn't do what God told them to do.
Joe Missionary takes us on a walk and asks us to consider Prayer Walking is Hocus Pocus. No, he doesn't think that there's anything wrong with praying while walking. What he has a problem with is when people claim there's a mighty work o' God just waiting to happen in a particular neighborhood, city, etc., if we would only go there and claim it through prayer while walking the streets.
We take a stop along a country road to consider a CowPi Journal and the Two Sides of Darkness. An exploration of the two meanings of darkness within Christian spirituality. One is the familiar darkness of the created ways of the world; the other is the uncreated darkness of God.
Elena LaVictoire updates us on the story of Bae MacFarlane. A courageous woman who is fighting the no fault divorce laws in her state to maintain custody of her children and raise them without interference from the state.
Here in the U.S. we sometimes forget that Christians are suffering in other parts of the globe. Our tour takes us to Pakistan where Pakistani Police Arrest, Torture, Kill Christian Youth. Rev. Khalid Mansoor Soomro, who frequently reports for the Pakistan Christian Post, sent The Great Separation this e-mail report on the arrest and murder of a young Christian man named Nasir Masih.
Jeremy Pierce asks us to reflect on the title "Reverend" for full-time ministers. At our church, we refer to "Preacher Ken." He wouldn't know what to do if we called him "Reverend."
When we travel over to DeoOmnisGloria, we examine again the question "Can We Lose Our Salvation?" Different churches have opposing viewpoints on this topic, but can we be assured of our salvation? Jay examines the Scriptural evidence and it is surprisingly clear.
When we go Beyond the Rim, William points out how much we have in common with true stars like Ben Stein.
Adrian Warnock continues the series on biblical counseling. This week the subject is Holistic counseling. The Proverbial Wife also presents a post on Christian Counseling, but from a subjective standpoint, as one who has undergone various kinds of Christian counseling, individually and maritally.
When we go into the Anchor Hold this week we find the clergy of LaCrosse, Wisconsin have aggravations with the folk their recently-transferred-away bishop invited to town --- anchorites and hermits, consecrated virgins and widows, tiny brand-new religious societies. The clergy think they are all wackos. Now, this blogger is an anchor hold dweller also, and ponders whether the LaCrosse clergy might just be correct about her kind of Christian.
Some attributes of God have always puzzled me. Becky has been examining the attributes of God and this week she shows us God's Holiness. What should our response to His holiness be?
What's the difference between an "-ism" and an "-ization?" David Wayne sets us straight this week with a post on Jollyblogger.
The end of this week's journey brings us to a place where we consider what is God's will? Sure it's "easy" to know God's will when He explicitly tells you what it is ... but what if upon knowing God's will in something everyone of your multitude of councilors says "No!" What is God's will when no one agrees?
Thank you all for letting me host this week's Christian Carnival. Next week, the carnival moves to the Fringe.
