A Blog Break
For the past three years, I have taken a break from blogging during the month of July. I have found that this time away has been spiritually and mentally refreshing.
This year, I’m planning something a little different. Instead of letting the blog soil lie fallow for a month, I’ve enlisted more than a dozen talented bloggers and writers to contribute posts and book reviews. I’ve already read through all the contributions, and I have scheduled them to be released one day at a time during the month of July. The posts are great, and I look forward to seeing the response they generate.
I have also repackaged some older posts of my own from the blog, posts that contain ideas that might benefit from being given “new life” on the blog again.
The daily “Worth a Look” posts and the weekly “Trevin’s Seven” will be contributed by my friend, Marc Cortez.
Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming up in July:
- “The Smokescreen of Protesting”
- “Getting to Know Our Muslim Neighbors”
- Jerry Rankin on the gospel and missions
- An indictment on ear-tickling preaching that may surprise you
- What a missional youth group looks like
- Evaluating what “numbers” mean in our churches
- The gift of dead mentors
That’s just scratching the surface. As you can see, Kingdom People is in good hands for the month of July. My hope is that you won’t even miss me! Seriously, I believe you’ll be encouraged and challenged by the guest contributors, and I encourage you to add these bloggers to your feedreader. They are doing good work.
On August 1, Lord willing, I will resume writing daily here at Kingdom People. Until then, I pray you grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity.
