A View from the Nest

Welcome to the November 2008 edition of “Pop Goes the Gospel” blog carnival. Where the age old Gospel message meets modern pop culture. I received many excellent articles for this edition and I included the best ones below. If you submitted an article and find it not listed in this month’s edition please check with the submission guidelines to be sure your article met with the guidelines of this blog carnival. Several authors submitted more than one post to the carnival and I included what I thought was the best in this edition. I do encourage those authors to resubmit additional posts in the upcoming edition of “Pop Goes the Gospel”. I do not try to post more than one post from each author so as not to give too much coverage to one blog.

SO WITHOUT ADDITIONAL DELAY ON WITH THE CARNIVAL!

Welcome to the October 31, 2008 edition of pop goes the gospel.

In Church Life

Tammy Riggs presents Do you love me more than these? posted at Riggs Report - On to Andahuaylas, saying, “A challenge to examine your priorities and service.” A simple straight forward word to the church to examine our motives and see if we “Love Him more than these”

andriel presents Word of Faith: The Demotion of God posted at ReturningKing.com, saying, “Wolves in Wool: Creeps in The Church, is the title of this series on false teachers and false doctrines. This study will be updated weekly, so be sure to subscribe for updates.” andriel submitted several posts from his blog and I only included this one in this issue. I encourage andriel to submit subsequent posts to later editions of the blog carnival. Andriel takes on the Word of faith preachers in this article and blogcast. Check it out.

Trevor Watkinson presents Prayer and Fasting posted at SaveYourSweat.com Blog, saying, “How prayer and fasting can change your life.” Trevor submitted two articles to this blog carnival and I chose to include this one. His blog covers the gambit of self-improvement using biblical principles. This one on prayer and fasting is well worth the read. It is good medicine to deny ourselves certain pleasures in order to find a closer relationship with God.

Yvette Nietzen presents Supernatural Prison Break . posted at Fresh Wind Ministries, Int´lYvette, a frequent poster has submitted a good post on Paul and Silas’s prison break. No it is not taken from the Television show of the same name but it is a good article. Thank you Yvette.

In Culture

Angelawd presents Shopgirl gets over herself posted at angelawd, saying, “Even the most humble tasks can bring us closer to Jesus’s attitude.” How scrubbing the urinal taught humility.

Daniel Partin presents Defending The Shack: Black Madonna posted at Prophet For Hire: A blog for those seeking relationship with God.Daniel writes an interesting review of the Book the Black Madonna. I really can neither endorse or pan the book because I have not read it. However I found Daniels review of a review of the book interesting to read. I am not sure I wish to actually read the book The Black Madonna however.

Nathan Creitz presents Organic and Sustainable Christianity posted at Nathan Creitz.Putting feet to our faith. Taking action when action is presented to us is what I got from reading this post by Nathan.

The Traveler presents Statue of Liberty - history posted at Ellis Island - Statue of Liberty, saying, “Some history about the statue of liberty.” Everyone could use a refresher course on United States History so I allowed the Traveler to post this blog entry.

In Family

Tiffany Partin presents The Proof Is In The Pictures posted at Fathom Deep: Sounding the Depths of God.Pictorial display of Hurricane Ike’s effect on Bayview. Let us continue to pray for those effected by the Ire of Ike.

ChristianPF presents Encouraging Bible Verses for the Financial Crisis posted at Money in the Bible | Christian Personal Finance Blog, saying, “What the Bible has to say about the financial crisis” What more needs to be said?

That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of pop goes the gospel using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.
