What Blogs Should I Read in 2011?

January 6, 2011 23

Each day I fill my Twitter account with eclectic tweets from the world of theology, technology, new media, design, and whatever else takes my fancy. If you’re not on Twitter you get a sample of these in my weekly From the Twittersphere posts.

Well, it’s a new year and so I’d like to clean out some of the several hundred blogs I visit daily and add some fresh content. Discovering new blogs with good content can be hard. So what suggestions do you have?

Please leave a comment and answer the question: What Blogs Should I Read in 2011?

Oh, and I’m happy for you to include your own blog in the list.

    Well I think that the eChurch Blog is an excellent read, and it’s rumoured that the blogger is a very handsome guy ;-)

    Here are a few off the beaten path:
    http://differencemakerbiblestudy.org/ (a friend in MD)
    http://graceinthetriad.blogspot.com/ (dustin segers, an apologetics- and evangelism-oriented local pastor)
    http://crossward.info/ (mine)
    http://www.togetherforadoption.org/ (Gospel-centered adoption)
    http://www.reclaimingthemind.org/wordoftheday (theological word of the day — very helpful)

    Blessings!

    As I read most blogs through subscription, I try to get a personal stop by through a couple of different ones per week.

    This year, I’d like to spend a bit more time at Doug Eaton’s http://godwardthoughts.blogspot.com/ and John Samson’s http://effectualgrace.com/.

    I’m also consistently blessed with the devotional offerings of Christina Langella’s blog, Heavenly Springs, http://christinalangella.com.

    For a research-informed biblical perspective, the Jubilee Centre is a must-read: http://www.jubilee-centre.org

    I suppose I should be ashamed of this unabashed self-promotion, but I’d recommend my blog.

    http://thefieldistheworld.wordpress.com/

    My father’s isn’t bad either. He’s been a missionary church planter for thirty odd years.
    http://worldlink.wordpress.com/
    Well worth the missionary insights.

    I will resist the urge to pimp my own blog (any of my own blogs!), but it’s clickable right there if anybody cares to check it out.

    Thinking about my voluminous RSS-collection, and choosing just one standout, I think I’d have to go with Creed, Code, Cult. Pastor Stellman is always thought-provoking, entertaining, pithy, and (last-but-not-least) concise. Unlike many bloggers out there, he has a good sense for not packing too much stuff into any one post. (You gotta watch out for the comment trails though, the ensuing discussions often stretch into the hundreds of comments!)

    (As an off-topic bonus, I’ll also recommend one podcast: Table Talk Radio!!)

    I have two blogs that I quite like, and I hope other people might like them too:

    http://st-eutychus.com and http://venntheology.com.

    I really like Dan Phillips’ blog, Biblical Christianity: http://bibchr.blogspot.com/ and Dennis Thurman’s blog: http://mountain-top-musings.blogspot.com/ , though Dennis doesn’t post every day.

    I’m trying to post to my blog more often than once every couple weeks in the coming year. http://tando.org

  18. Aaron Armstrong January 7, 2011 at 5:21 pm #

    Aside from mine, The Hills Church blog is a great one to read (http://blog.hillsbiblechurch.org) and if you’re not already reading Jared Wilson’s, you really should: http://gospeldrivenchurch.blogspot.com

  19. Dan Smith January 7, 2011 at 10:42 pm #

    Well, I found your blog in December of 2010, so yours will be one that I read this year. One that I would recommend is Speak Faithfully: http://speakfaithfully.wordpress.com/. The writer is a recovering addict and it’s amazingly raw. Finally, a little self promotion…you are welcome to read my blog in 2011 as well!

  20. Grace January 8, 2011 at 4:23 am #

    http://www.thegospelforoc.com: a friend of mine (one of the
    hardest working and faithful guys i know) started this ministry in
    orange county. it’s a collaboration with several writers, and i
    absolutely love it!!! also, the gospel coalition and desiring god
    blogs are always encouraging too!

  21. Kim Shay January 8, 2011 at 6:51 am #

    The blogs I continually go back to, and find the most solid content are the ones at Ref 21 and The Gospel Coalition. Also, Rebecca Writes is the one blog I’ve been reading for the entire 6 years I have been blogging.

  22. Zachary January 8, 2011 at 3:14 pm #

    Gentle Reformation is a new collaborative blog from several
    bloggers I greatly respect – http://genref.wordpress.com/
