Hot Links 8.1.2016

Every Friday, I'll be posting a list of some of the best stuff that I find on the web. Hopefully (depending on what I find that week) it should be a mix of interesting and funny stuff. Well that's if you get my sense of humour! :-)

"We could multiply articles in the Christians-are-meanies-and-I-know-the-Bible-better-than-they-do genre like St. Peter multiplied the animals after they left Jonah’s Ark. But it wouldn’t change the fact that the Most Holy Synod of Journalists doesn’t have an inerrant track record on religion. For instance, they sometimes need reminders that the resurrection is an actual thing Christians believe happened."

Reading between the lines
Throughout 2016, Glen Scrivener will be posting a daily video devotional, going through some of the key phrases that we see in the bible. Starting with "In the Beginning" and ending at "Hallelujah", Glen takes these sayings and show how at the heart of it, they point us to Christ.

Too Much Bible?!
Sounds provocative but the underlying point is clear. "Conscientious Christians might hear two passages preached on a Sunday, another passage at a midweek meeting [or insert whatever your church does with the Bible midweek] and then might study seven more in their own daily readings. They may hear still more texts expounded if they listen online or download sermons and talks. That is a lot of Bible, and it can foster an unreflective approach to Scripture. No sooner have I listened to one passage expounded than my attention is called to another, and the plates soon fall to the ground because there are too many spinning at once.

Why we neglect our bibles?
As we hit that time of year where we grab the latest bible in a year plan, this is a good reminder of the attitude that we may have as we read our bibles.

God has already spoken
I love Adam4d and the comics that he produces! Check out his latest!
