Drinking from a fire hose – four good apologetics blogs to follow

Posted on October 17, 2012 Written by Mark McIntyre 6 Comments

Sometimes the internet is like taking a drink from a fire hose. There are so many good writers who provide helpful information that one has to learn to be selective; there is too much to take in.

Therefore, to narrow it down a bit, I thought I would take a few minutes to provide a list of four blogs I follow and why I think that you should follow them also.

The Poached Egg. Greg West does a fantastic job of scouring the internet and finding some of the best material on Christian Apologetics available. This blog provides links to helpful articles and interesting quotations. Greg can be found on Twitter @thepoachedegg.
Christian Apologetics Alliance Blog. The CAA is a group of writers committed to articulating and defending a Christian world view. The contributors to the blog come from a variety of educational backgrounds and have different interests, thus providing a sampling of what is going on in apologetic thought today. You can follow the CAA blog on Twitter @apolalliance
The Thinking Christian. This is one of the first apologetics blogs I found and have been following it for a few years. Tom Gilson is the author of the blog and he consistently challenges his reader to be what the title implies, thinking Christians.
Apologetics315. One of the best features of Apologetics315 is the interviews that Brian Auten does with noted apologetic writers and thinkers. These interviews are available as Podcasts and MP3 downloads. Brian is an excellent interviewer, asking great questions. Brian also provides other helpful links on the site to resources for those who are interested in increasing their knowledge of Christian apologetics. You can follow Brian on Twitter @apologetics315.

There are many other good apologetics sites but these are four that I regularly follow and read. If you have an interest in Christian apologetics, please check out these four blogs, I do not think you will be disappointed.

The same power

These words have bothered me. I agree that they are true, I agree that Jesus has demonstrated that power to us. But singing them brought up some questions in my mind.

Why people lie – Infographic

In response to an earlier post, an infographic entitled “Why People Lie” was brought to my attention. The infographic is shared with some commentary.

Yes, that is a log in my eye, thank-you

Jesus used a humorous illustration to caution us against finding fault with our brothers. We must first remove the log from our own eye.

Paul Tripp on the purpose of the Word of God

The ultimate purpose of the Word of God is not theological information but heart and life transformation. Biblical literacy and theological expertise are not, therefore, the end of the Word but a God-ordained means to and end, and the end is a radically transformed life because the worship at the center of that life has been reclaimed.

An unseen reality

When I see Jesus, it is less difficult to think that God really cares for me as an individual. When I see Jesus, the unseen reality begins to make itself almost tangible.

The responsibility of standing in the pulpit

As church leaders we must keep in mind whose is the responsibility to build the church. It is not the pastor’s responsibility. It is not the elders’ responsibility. It is not the preacher’s responsibility. It is Christ’s and Christ’s alone (Matthew 16:18).
