Saturday Spotlight - Transforming Sermons

When discussing blogs, there are lots of great Christian sites, and you can find one that caters to just about any pertinent issue or niche you are looking for. However, there are some sites that you just have to go to every day. They save time, effort, and allow you to focus on what you are looking for from many angles.

Now, as I usually say when I do a "spotlight" post, let me get real and personal with you. I think my site is great for devotional and doctrinal material, it is intended as my pastoral outreach and overflow, a labor of love. But this site doesn’t always hit all the topics (though it some times does) as they are coming down the pike. That is not what our primary focus is here; it is biblical exposition and commentary, hopefully accurate and insightful at that. Now some sites do give the news, and they are known for it, and they may even be seen as negative, but I am glad they are out there.

Still, one site that I visit every day gives you many different pastoral perspectives, all Christian of course, and certainly Biblical and/or conservative. This site gives you some the best of the pastoral blogging: covering biblical exposition, hermeneutics, homiletics, types of sermons, motivation, personal life, study habits and techiniques, you name it, this site will cover it from just about every angle. It is a must resource fro the blogging pastor. Where can you find all this treasure wrapped up in one place?

The Answer: Transforming Sermons

Milton Stanley takes the time and effort to help all of us bloggers out there with this truly wonderful site. I absolutely love this site, and I can't recommend it enough. Do yourself a big favor, go see what I am talking about, and bookmark the site, you won’t regret it. Transforming Sermons, the spotlight is on you…

Saturday Spotlight – Thirsty Theologian


When discussing blog sites that are truly more than “must visits”, they are absolute “must stops” on your every day browsing, there are really not as many as you might think. Sure, there are lots of great Christian sites, and some cater to certain interests and all are good stuff, indeed. However, there are some sites that you just have to go to every day. They save time, effort, and allow you to focus on all the current issues with a Christian perspective.

Now let me get real and personal with you. I think my site is great for devotional and doctrinal material, it is intended as my pastoral outreach and overflow, a labor of love. But this site doesn’t always hit all the topics (though it some times does) as they are coming down the pike. That is not what our primary focus is here; it is biblical exposition and commentary, hopefully accurate and insightful at that. Now some sites do give the news, and they are known for it, and they may even be seen as negative, but I am glad they are out there. Still, one site that I visit every day gives you many different perspectives, all Christian of course, mostly Reformed, and certainly Biblical and/or conservative, and also posts his own stuff. This site gives you the best of the Christian blogosphere each day: covering news, devotion, doctrinal issues, biblical exposition, sermons, and on and on, this site does it all. He even has a very good sense of humor.

What place has fine thought stimulating posts, and collects links to other great posts nearly every day, and has permanent links to all the best bloggers of the blogosphere? Where can you find all this treasure wrapped up in one place? The Answer: The Thirsty Theologian

David Kjos (pronounced Chos – like boast with out the b or t) does all this and he moderates over at Challies, a high honor, in my opinion. He was even nominated King for A Week (THE most highly prized award in this corner of the Blog World). Do yourself a big favor, go see what I am talking about, and bookmark that site, you won’t regret it. Folks, this is a Christ centered, God honoring site that I recommend without reservation, and that to me is saying a lot. Thirsty Theologian, the spotlight is on you…
