New Blog Category: Gopsel-centered Blogs

| | Comments (7) | TrackBacks (0)

I am always on the lookout for gospel-centered blogs though I don’t actively search for them very often (time issue). If you take a look, you’ll notice that I’ve created a new link category that lists a few gospel-centered blogs that I have found. These are blogs that make much about the centrality of the gospel for all of life. Making much of the gospel of Christ is to what I have dedicated my blog. Here are those who are currently on my gospel-centered blog list:

Adrian Warnock's UK Evangelical Blog Beginning with Moses Dave Bish - thebluefish Dave Cruver - to tell you the truth Paul Schafer - Glorious Gospel of Christ Group David Wayne - Jolly Blogger Rob Wilkerson - My Miscellanies on the Gospel

May the tribe of gospel-centered bloggers increase. I would love to see more bloggers who not only hold the following beliefs but also occasionally blog about them:

1. As Tim Keller writes, “The gospel is not just the A-B-C’s but the A to Z of Christianity.” It is not merely that which gives us entrance into the Christian life but also that which grows us in the Christian life. Therefore, gospel-centered bloggers do not address sanctification issues without reference to the gospel of God.

2. The gospel is the hermeneutical key to unlocking the Scriptures. Graeme Goldsworthy: “By referring to the gospel as the hermeneutical key I mean that proper interpretation of any part of the Bible requires us to relate it to the person and work of Jesus.” Therefore, gospel-centered bloggers do not interpret and apply texts without reference to Scripture’s overarching story-line of the gospel.

3. “The light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” is seen in the gospel (2 Corinthians 4:3-6). God shines this light in our hearts with saving and sanctifying effect through the preaching of the gospel. Therefore, gospel-centered blogs will make much of the gospel of Christ in their blogging.

Dan, It'll be my pleasure to offer you to use the Glorious Gospel of Christ Group blog for this New Blog Category: Gopsel-centered Blogs.

Both Rob Wilkerson and Dave Bish has joined this group, and I've just started emailing Adrian over the weekend, so he's heard of me.

What do you think of using this blog for your purposes?

Thanks, Paul! I had forgotten about that group.

I'm thinking about using my home page http://www.eucatastrophe.com for a fellowship of the gospel group (it is the home page of my blog - http://www.eucatastrophe.com/blog). But I would like to join your group.

Even though it amounts to shameless self-promotion, I'd like recommend my blog, Transforming Sermons, as an addition to your list (which, BTW), I'm glad to find. Peace.

Bring it on! The centrality of the gospel should extend to the blogs or it's really not central, hey?
