Reader statistics

Anyone actually reading the blog has seen our announcement that this blog/address is going away and we've moved all activity to a new home base.

What interests me is that the statistics report on THIS location, supposedly showing the number of hits the blog gets, CONTINUES to register visits of 100-200 PER DAY.

There is NOTHING here that would justify those numbers in any legitimate way. I just wanted to mention this to any other users. The hits-count statistics reports here should not be trusted as a way to recognize legitimate readers.

Automatic spamming programs that run up the count are a different matter.

Bus transfer

This will be the final post at this blog location. Those who have arrived here via the link at the church web page won't even see this message! That link now transfers to the new blog.

You will need to transfer as well if you want to keep riding this bus with me   

If you've bookmarked this spot, please click the link to the new blog and bookmark that. And please let me know if you do.

And for all the spammers who have lately been trying to crash the comments here... it's all yours.

Trust

Adam Mathis tackles a big one:

Some have a habit of trusting God only for good in their lives. If God is not rewarding them, then something is wrong. This attitude is similar to that of Jesus’ disciples when they saw a blind man and asked “who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind” (Jn. 9.2)? Jesus’ answer implies that the question misses the point. His blindness existed “so that God’s works might be revealed in him” (9.3). Essentially, Jesus is saying that this man’s ailment has nothing necessarily to do with him, but is how God is choosing to further his own plan for Israel and the world. Job recognized this as well when he placed himself under the Lord’s mercy: “Shall we receive the good at the hand of God and not receive the bad” (Job 2.10)?

Read it all (at the link under Adam's name above).

Revival, but not all at once

"Is it tough to be a Christian and not tell anyone?"

"It's sometimes very tough. When you have to entertain clients and they want to go to strip clubs or whatever, it can be awkward."

Revial among London bankers... read it all.
