My Blogs
I am putting this page here to give a little info about the blogs I manage.
Fire and Hammer – the one you are on right now was my flag ship blog. I started it in January of 2006 over on blogger. It crashed on me in May of ‘06, and I ended up coming here a little later.
The second one is Wings As Eagles and is one I use for the Carr Lane Baptist Church which I pastor. Over there you will find Bible studies, sermon outlines, or short “Sermon Bites” (that is what I call them), and what I call “Classic Friday”. “Classic Friday” is sermon quotes or writings from men of God who have gone on to be with the Lord. I believe you will be greatly blessed in these “Classic Friday” readings. Wings as Eagles is no longer accessible. My sermon outlines, Bible Studies, etc are at Carr Lane Baptist Church
The fourth one is Isaiah’s Prophecy and every article there is taken from the book of Isaiah. This was my flagship blog here at WordPress. Some of the earlier writing I tried to look at these scriptures as though it were through the eyes of the prophet himself. You might find interesting to say the least.
Another one is To Everything… A Season and there I just write about what ever I am thinking of, disgusted about, or just anything related to the seasons of the year or the seasons of life.
There is also one that is somewhat patriotic in basically calling our Nation to return to the Lord, recognizing our heroes, and it is Patriotic Nation.
Run Through the Streets is focusing on the Old Testament prophets, particularly the prophet Jeremiah. He is known as the weeping prophet, because his heart grieved over his people seeing them apart from the Lord and His Word.
Then, there is one called Trial of Faith. The present articles are from First Peter and dealing with suffering as a Christian. There will be an occasional post telling of some Christian or Christians who are suffering for their faith in Christ. These are usually from Voice of the Martyrs.
In recent years I have really come to understand how important family is, and I started a family blog. It is called The Blankenships. If you are interested in knowing a little more about my family and me, then, you are welcome to check this out. Leave a comment if you like.
There is much need for praying for one another in the Christian family. That is the reason for the prayer blog which is simply called Prayer Requests. Leave a prayer request in the comments, and I will post it on the home page.
A recently new blog I have started is called All Things Baptist. It seemed to me that there are many “Baptist” blogs which are going more into ecumenism, than they are promoting the Baptist faith and heritage. Baptists have always been a people of the book. Baptists have been persecuted in this nation from the time they came to this nation, and part of the reason for that is because of our beliefs concerning baptism, and the need for a regenerated church membership. We do not believe in baptismal regeneration, but that baptism proclaims our regeneration. You may go to All Things Baptist by using this link, or the one’s previous.
Let me thank you for reading this page, and I welcome your comments on any of these blogs, even if you want to state an area of disagreement. Remember your Christian conduct in commenting. Any comment that is deemed to be just mean spirited, or vulgar, or cursing will be deleted.
MY PURPOSE FOR ALL THESE BLOGS -
When I first started blogging in January 2006 I cannot say that I really had a purpose, and I was really slow at getting things written and posted. When someone said that there were one billion plus people who had internet access, that opened my eyes.
I had seen several blogs which were talking about denominational things, and that is of interest to some, but my question at that time was, “What will those articles do for the man or woman of the world who does not know Jesus?” All these were out there for the general public to see and read. My thought, then was, and my purpose became to write articles that will point people to God, the Bible and His Son. Also to help the Christian grow and to become more like Jesus.
With one billion plus out in the world of the World Wide Web, there just might be that possibility that just one might read one of these articles that lift up Jesus Christ, exalting Him, and come to faith in Him. I pray that will be so.
If you are one who has been saved by the power of the Spirit of God, and He used one of these sites to call you to Himself I would like to know. It won’t matter for your eternity or mine. It would just be a joy to my heart to know that. You may post that in the comment section below.
Thank you for reading this page.
Brother, how in the world do you keep up with all this?! I can’t even get around to posting on our two (one personal, one family). I appreciate you stopping by over there, though, and enjoy reading your prolific output! Keep up the good work
Scott, Thanks for dropping by. As you can see I haven’t been posting near as much as I was. I started blogging because I saw it as an opportunity to put the gospel of Jesus Christ on the web, and thought that if even one was to come to faith in Christ as a result of “hearing” the gospel through a blog it would be worth the effort.
Some of the blogs I probably just need to delete them, and major on the others. I haven’t brought myself to that point yet.
T.A.
Good Morning!
I’ve been uplifted by your writings this morning.
The Word of God is so powerful and beautiful.
The book of Jeremiah has been speaking to me all month. So, I just wanted to say thank you for your writings and wish you a beautiful day filled with God’s amazing joy!
