I've been at this blogging thing for quite a long time now--it's coming up on ten years. I've been at the daily blogging thing for almost as long. This means that I've got an extensive backlist of articles from years gone by. I thought it might be fun to pull out some of the articles I wrote in previous months of September, stretching all the way back to 2004.
Spiritual Abuse [2] and More on Spiritual Abuse [3] - This has become quite a big topic in the church today.
Honor, Respect & Taxes [4] - It’s one thing to pay taxes; it’s another to respect the ones who levy them.
What I Hate About Blogging [5] - I must have been having a bad day.
On Being a Dad [6] - I love being a dad (most of the time).
The Truth About Canadian Health Care [7] - Don’t let them tell you otherwise. We aren’t doing too badly up here.
On Visiting Saddleback Church [8] - About the time I visited Saddleback and met Rick Warren.
Calvinism and Evangelism [9] - What we are to do and what we are not to do in evangelism.
Who Shapes Your World? [10] - It’s always a little disappointing to see who TIME chooses as the people who are shaping our world.
Spoilt for Choice [11] - This was one of the seeds that eventually grew into The Next Story.
Bludgeoning with Providence [12] - There is a way Christian leaders try to convince you they know God’s will for your life.
It Is Good to Thirst [13] - Yes it is.
Planned Neglect [14] - There isn’t room for everything, so you need to plan to neglect something.
The Enemy Next Door [15] - This was an important one to me back when I wrote it.
The Infinite Value of Scripture [16] - This is an old favorite. I think the metaphor made it into one of my books.
Worshipping the Seeker [17] - There are quite a lot of articles like this one in the early days of my site; in those days I was at a seeker-sensitive church and just starting to understand what that meant.
