Baptist Blogs

“A man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them”  James Madison, 4th President of the United States of America.

Those words were clearly formed long before the advent of the internet, but have never been more relevant. In this age of blogs, personal websites and instant communication, we want to celebrate and bring together the creativity and thinking that exists across the Baptist family. On the right there is a list of Baptist bloggers, a mix of ministers and members of Baptist churches; below are the ten most recent offerings from that group.

This page is therefore an automatic compiler of our Baptist bloggers, so we must make clear that not all expressed below is necessarily the opinion of The Baptist Times. And it is by no means an exhaustive selection - if a particular blog should be on the list, but isn’t, please drop a note to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Galatians 2.11-21 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I stood up to him face to face. He was in the wrong. Before certain persons came from James, Peter was eating with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, because he was afraid of the circumcision-people....

“Prayer is not for getting what we want, but rather for bending our wants toward what God wants.” (Stanley Hauerwas) Wanting is one of the strongest drives in our nature. The Lord's Prayer recognises this. Our wants can be as...

Below is Kierkegaard's prayer as he sets out to write The Works of Love. It's a long time since I read Kierkegaard, and I have to confess I've picked up Works of Love more by accident than design, which could...

I'm not sure how John Cleese will feel about me holding him up, as an example to help missional leaders, develop their creativity, or even by suggesting he knows more about Jesus' ways, than he lets on about, but I find this clip both thought and creativity provoking, so pass...

I’m humbled. Genuinely don’t quite know what to write. Today I had a complete stranger ask for help. She wasn’t even meant to be in town, but rather with a friend. She saw me and one of my volunteers with … Continue reading →
