Interesting Things I Read Online

I've been out for months with all of this transition, so it is time to catch up on all those blogs! It seems that quite a few of my friends have also slowed in their blog writing. This made catching up with them easier. Yet, then there are those who never seem to slow... even with a baby! The almost-published and very famous Mikalatos never gives up.

While the friends slowed in the blogging world, those theology and ministry blogs did not ease up the last few months of my crazy changing life. So I'm swamped with wonderful posts about goings on in the theology and ministry world.

Here are a few that caught my eye:

Extending the Kingdom wrote about a new film by IJM. I love what the International Justice Mission does. I have not heard of another organization that looks at the love of Christ and God's hate for injustice and takes real action to free individual slaves around the world. I have multiple friends whose dream it is to work for them. Anyway, their new documentary called At the End of Slavery looks good. I want to see it. *** This just in. Imago Dei is showing it next Friday at 7pm. The facebook invite is here.

I like Tim Keller. Those who know me are not surprised. Tim Keller's new book, Counterfeit Gods, came out a few days ago and sounds good. I have heard some great sermons from him on the topic (which seems to permeate his messages) and always been been convicting. Justin Taylor just wrote about an interview with him.

A blog discussing Islam and Christianity posted a picture representing the percentages of people fitting in each world religion. How many Christians would there be proportionally if the world was a village of 100? Check it out.

That's all for now!
