New Blog Category: Gopsel-centered Blogs
June 6th, 2005I 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.
