King For A Week – Thirsty Theologian

Articles Collection cover image

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 week (in theory) I select a blog, link to it from my site, and add that site’s most recent headlines to my left 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.

This week’s recipient of the award is the Thirsty Theologian, a site moderated by David Kjos, a man who has become a good friend to me in the past couple of years. David has been know to moderate comments around my site and is much more discerning than I am about when to just give up on a discussion that is quickly heading south. On his blog he features all sorts of interesting content, though he doesn’t really post much as I think he should. His site mixes commentary, theology and humor and is almost always well worth reading.

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 those of you who nominated this week’s honoree.

    The Dutiful Introvert

    I am aware that the categories of introvert and extrovert are not described or even hinted at within the pages of the Bible. My understanding is that the terms arose from the mind of Carl Jung and were popularized through his teachings—teachings that oppose Scripture in a host of ways.
