  • I link therefore I am (17/12/09)

    December 17, 2009 | 51 Views | 0 Comments

    Some fresh links straight out of the blogosphere to start your day:-

    • Britain is avowedly a less Christian nation according to The Telegraph – also comment in The Guardian. The death of nominal Christianity may not be such a bad thing.
    • Skye Jethani comments on Time magazine’s article on Advent Conspiracy 
    • Jeremy points out that 20% of Britains own 62% of the nations wealth
    • Gerald Hiestand calls materialism ‘the bane of the American church’ and when you read the obituary of Oral Roberts, you understand why. I know the Guardian is left-wing and no fan of Christianity but even so I’d hate this to be written about me, “Oral Roberts, who has died aged 91 of complications from pneumonia, always devoted himself to money – and occasionally, God.”

About

Phil WhittallI believe Jesus when he said 'life does not consist in the abundance of our possessions'. I believe he offers something better. This blog is mostly about that search.

I'm also a church pastor, a bookshop owner, a husband, a father, a keen runner, reader, and motorcyclist. These and a few other things make guest appearances from time to time.
