November 2010 Review

Where does the time go? The last day of November, we're into Advent, and just one month of 2010 left on the calendar. Here's a quick reminder of what's been happening on the blog this month in the 26 posts.

November is the month of remembering - the war dead, and friends.

While I didn't manage to read any books in November, I was still catching up on the book reviews from previous months. There were reviews on The Last Word by Wallace Benn, The Chosen One by Sam Bourne, The Way of the Righteous in the Muck of Life by Dale Ralph Davis, and Religion Saves by Mark Driscoll. I also reviewed the new Soul material from Christianity Explored.

My preaching was from John 8 (audio), Matthew 5 (audio), Mark 13 (audio) and Colossians 3. We also offered some more resources on sexual purity.

Still on a ministry theme, we had a report from NIMA (with the audio from the conference), and thought about the whys and the hows of beginning a sermon website.

In other news, we thought about the BBC, self-control, changing subjects, and updated the twittering clergy of the Church of Ireland.

My favourite post of the month was Under Control? and in the 365 photo challenge, my photo of the month was Snowy Donard:
