Best Blogs

Okay today I am going to share with you some of my favorite blog posts from others.  This first one is from Ed Stetzers blog.  If you don't know who he is.... You really should get acquainted with him.  Read this opening excerpt and click on link to read the rest at his blog.  He has a lot of great things to say.  I wish more people were on the same page as him.

UnCool Video Bumpers by Ed Stetzer

My friend David Landrith pastors Long Hollow Church in Hendersonville, TN. He is a great guy that I am guessing you will hear more about in the future.


The church is currently walking through the Sermon on the Mount in a series called UnCool. You can watch the videos online here.

David tells me that the idea of UnCool came from Tullian Tchividjian's book, Unfashionable. I sent Tullian a copy of the videos tonight and it inspired me to post them here.

Second Blog  is from the well know Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr.,

A Gavel Falls on Marriage: The Proposition 8 Decision

Yesterday, a very important gavel fell on marriage. The central institution of human civilization suffered a direct hit, and its future hangs in the balance.

The importance of the decision handed down yesterday by U. S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker in California’s Proposition 8 trial will be difficult to exaggerate. Proponents of same-sex marriage immediately declared a major victory — and for good reason. The editorial board of The New York Times declared the verdict “an instant landmark in American legal history,” and so it is, even if later reversed upon appeal.
