King for a Week is an honor I bestow on blogs that I feel are making a valuable contribution to my faith and the faith of other believers. Every two weeks (or so) I select a blog, link to it from my site, and add that site’s most recent headlines to my right sidebar. While this is really not much, I do feel that it allows me to encourage and support other bloggers while making my readers aware of other good sites.
I do not read a lot of blogs that focus primarily on politics. The difficulty with being Canadian is that most of the political blogs focus on American politics, and as much as Canada is close to the U.S., both geographically and strategically, it is still only so interesting reading about the politics of another nation. There are some of these blogs, though, that look beyond politics to issues and even just plain fun. The Evangelical Outpost is one of these. The site’s owner, Joe Carter, is one of those intellectual types who can, when he wants to, talk local and philosophical circles around the likes of me. Joe looks at news and issues through the lens of a conservative Christian and more often than not has great things to say. I enjoy his blog, one of the first blogs I began reading, and have benefited from it.
In the coming days you will be able to see the most recent headlines from this blog in the sidebar of my site. I hope you will make your way over the site and look around.
I continue to accept nominations for King of the Week. If you have a site you would like to nominate, feel free to do so. Thanks to all who nominated this week’s honoree.

Feel the same way you do, Tim, about political blogs. But, the Evangelical Outpost is a solid read and I also respect Joe Carter very much. We celebrate your Kingship for the week, Joe!

Joe’s articles are good, but his blog sure is a magnet for the lefty moonbats. If I stick with the articles, I’m fine, but reading the wacko comments makes me sorry I ventured in there.

Me, too. I’d love to have his command of logic. He seems to know every single fallacious logical argument that exists.

Tim - I just wanted you to know that my staff and I, here at the Banner of Truth office on this side of “the pond”, really did set aside time this morning to pray for you as you seek to finalize your new book by Friday. Additionally, it looks as if we will meet sooner than we may have thought - I’ll see you in two weeks at Twin Lakes.
