First Birthday!

March 31st, 2008 by admin

A thinker from the Westminster Assembly, by J.R. Herbert (1810-1890)Today is the first anniversary of the blog! Who would have thought it would have lasted this long. Thanks to all of you who drop by and read. Had a bit of a go of changing the theme and logo of the site. I thought this fellow, cut out from J.R. Herbert's famous picture of the Westminster Assembly, might be appropriate for various reasons: looks like he's deep in theological considerations, he's (probably) English and he's historical. Nice combination, (I wonder if he likes cricket?). Thanks to Reformation Art for the image, (hope it isn't against copyright!).

Having been blogging for a while, some of Augustine's thoughts still prove insightful:

I am the sort of man who writes because he has made progress, and who makes progress by writing. Augustine (354-430)

Hopefully I've been faithful to my original considerations and have been carefully thinking and writing here for God's glory (1 Corinthians 10:31), by being faithful to the Bible (2 Timothy 3:14-17) and centred on the cross of Christ (Galatians 6:14). I do hope that this site has also been edifying to the Church (Colossians 3:16) and a witness to the gospel (Acts 1:8).

Since starting blogging, I have written seven series on ...

  1. Reformed Theology & the CofE
  2. Reading Christian Books
  3. Considerations: About this Blog
  4. The Bible and the British Museum
  5. Reformation Day 2007 Collection
  6. Good Words, Well Arranged
  7. Words we read so quickly...

… and four pages about:

  1. Some books I’ve read (as well as some reviews)
  2. A few Creeds and Confessions of the Church
  3. Most importantly the Gospel
  4. As well as some things I Believe…

I do hope some of you have found it helpful! Keep on searching the Scriptures to make sure it's Biblical (Acts 17:11)! Why not leave a comment below - it would be nice to say hello and find out where you're all from!

... consider the steadfast love of the LORD.
Psalm 107:43b, (ESV)
