So, without further ado, here's the roundup--presented in no particular order:
Jeremy Scott posted a working document of his philosophy of worship. Be sure to read (and participate in) the discussion surrounding the appropriateness of various elements within the corporate worship service. Jeremy also shared a sermon on following the model of Christ and His service to all.
Pastor Billy Cox tackles tough issues by taking a closer look at behavioral patterns that often trap pastors and church leaders. Why is there so much lying in church? speaks of the danger of the little white lie.
Marsha Lynn posts her thoughts on usage of time, particularly as it relates to reading, the computer, and keeping a garden.
I missed Dave Pettigrew in last week's roundup. He's not fine, and trying to be fine with being not fine. While this post wasn't this week, you may want to read about his experience at this year's teen camp. Dave also offers some insightful thoughts on trust, not only how we are to trust God, but how God trusts us.
Chaplain Ian Gentles is another newcomer to the weekly roundup. In fact, he's a newcomer to the Nazarene Blogosphere. In addition to his other thoughts, you'll want to read his first-hand account of a store robbery and how it relates to terrorism and the role of the Church in our society. This week, Ian also wrote about signs and wonders, fear of terrorism, cops in church, loving Muslims, and prayer for the sick.
Matt Friedeman, also new to the roundup, offers his thoughts on the recent news surrounding Dr. David Seamands, R-rated movies, the beginning of life, and churches that have made use of The Matrix and Harry Potter in their marketing or evangelism.
Hans Deventer questions whether the church is more effective as a Hospital or Firing Squad.
Read about a fishing trip and some interesting observations about economy over at bloganovel. The author also blogs about someone who came to his blog searching for "what do you do when you are unworthy to live?"
Another newcomer on my radar screen this week is Brandon Hill. Brandon works at NPH as a graphic art designer. Get the inside scoop on how book covers are created!
I also discovered Pastor John Wright this week. It's a slightly older post, but you'll still want to read about his recent courtroom experience and the threat of arrest he received from the judge.
Pastor Scott continues blogging through The Message. This week, he's in Exodus 34-35 and blogs about God's mercy and grace, the glowing face of Moses, having roused hearts, and God-given gifts.
Another newcomer to the Nazarene blogosphere, Darren reports on his recent trip to Arkansas, and shares about his continued job search.
Kingomediocrity is back from the honeymoon (congratulations!), and blogs about building furniture.
Kevin Rector blogs about cars, factcheck, radicals and moderates, and the Robbie Seay Band.
One last newcomer to my radar screen is Pastor Larry. Check out his archives, and read about his upcoming Missions Trip to Ecuador.
(While we're talking about Ecuador, if you haven't yet, you should read about my trip to Ecuador with ZOEGirl, Michael Passons, and Big World Ventures. Check out these links:
- My on-site reporting
- The trip photo album
- My initial summary thoughts on the trip
- My sermon preparation for July 31
- July 31, 2005 sermon
Well, that does it for this week's roundup! Check back next week to see what's going on in the Nazarene Blogosphere. As always, if you know of someone who should be included, (or if you'd rather not be included here) send me an email.
Grace and Peace,
PastorJon
