Visiting Proverbs 24 (Christian Blogger)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

You know I always try to give room to fellow Christian bloggers, and here’s one I found today–Heartshare. And the post is, “Let’s Look at Proverbs 24 Today in a Month of Wisdom.”

Let’s Look At Proverbs 24 Today In A Month Of Wisdom

The book of Proverbs is wisdom compressed by King Solomon and the Holy Spirit into bite-sized pieces. I find Proverbs grows on you. You really and truly would be wise if you followed all this advice! And here and there, a sobering note: “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (14:12).

Thank you, Heartshare, for these brief excursions into Proverbs.

Note: If you’re a Christian blogger who’d like me to display your posts now and then, please just let me know. I’ll be glad to do it.

Make Sure to Smell the Flowers!

This is my stepdaughter’s dog, Chance, taking time to smell the flowers (look, Georgia, you’re famous!)–thus personifying a wise old saying: Make time to smell the flowers.

“Be still, and know that I am God…” (Psalm 46:10). There’s a lot we miss if we don’t find time for stillness. That goes for me, too. Ask anyone who knows me.

Don’t Forget the Hymn Contest

Why Were Angels Singing to Me?

I’m sorry to report no hymn requests today so far, no entries into our ongoing hymn contest. Well, these things always slow up after the initial excitement.

A few of you wind up requesting the most hymns–by far the most. I was hoping more of you would join the party! That’s not to discourage readers who make a lot of hymn requests: it’s to encourage you who never make any.

And now we’ve got another thunderstorm looming, and if I want a cigar I’d better go out and have it now.

It’s perfectly okay to make hymn requests while I’m not here!

Important P.S.! I want to showcase posts from other Christian blogs–because, in this climate of growing censorship, I think we must support each other. If you’re a Christian blogger who’d like to see your work displayed here from time to time, please just let me know! There’s no charge for it.

Persecution and the Believer, Part 2 (Christian Blogger)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Many of us are convinced that persecution of Christians is already under way–and that you don’t have to go all the way to China to find it. Here in the United States, and Canada, we find ample evidence of persecution–and a fervent desire, on the part of certain people, to have much, much more of it.

How should Christians cope with persecution? What are the things we most need to remember?

Persecution and the Believer Part 2

Between the two parts of this article at the Domain for Truth (there is a link to Part 1), those questions are answered from the Bible.

The one thing we must not do, ever, is to give in to the persecutors and desert our King.

Should We Have A Hymn Contest?

The Wind from Heaven (Bell Mountain, 13)

I don’t know what’s holding up The Wind from Heaven, but it should become available any day now.

Meanwhile, we have a mostly empty house today; and although I know Big Tech is stifling Christian bloggers left and right, I still have to try to get my view numbers back up to where they were last year.

Contests? Everybody like contests–right?

How’s this for an idea? (I won’t bother with it if it doesn’t excite interest.) A hymn contest along the lines of our annual Christmas carol contest. Within a set time limit, the person who requested the hymn that received the most views on the day it was requested will win the prize: an autographed copy of The Wind from Heaven or a cool red-and-white T-shirt bearing the quote, “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost.” Wear it to the supermarket and collect dirty looks from liberals!

Anyhow, that’s my suggestion for trying to liven things up around here. I’m tired of losing one, two, three thousand views a month compared to last year.

Should we do it? Are you ready to play? Please let me know.

Peter’s Miraculous Deliverance (Christian Blogger)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I’m doing what I can to support my fellow Christian bloggers. I pray this effort will bear fruit. Big Tech is pushing us down to the bottom of the search engines, and we need to raise each other up by posting work by other Christian bloggers.

From the UnashamedofJesus blog: Acts 12 tells us how Peter was imprisoned by Herod and condemned to execution, and how God miraculously delivered him–and punished Herod.

Acts 12- Pray Without Ceasing Part 2

“Pray without ceasing” is the message. We must believe in the power of prayer–and use it!

‘My Sun and Shield’ (Christian Blogger)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

In an effort to combat censorship, I showcase work by other Christian bloggers. Big Tech is trying to squeeze us off the Internet: we really must uphold each other!

Godinterest.com offers us “My Sun and Shield,” a quite little homily by Pastor Ray Patrick.

My Sun And Shield

The text is Psalm 84:11.

If you’re a Christian blogger and you’d like me to post your work now and then, please just let me know! There is no charge for this service. Really, with Big Tech trying to cut us off from our audience, we must help each other!

Help? Help?

My viewer numbers this evening are almost as bad as CNN’s.

You can say Big Tech isn’t doing this on purpose to a lot of Christian bloggers, but I won’t believe you. Yes, their algorithms are squeezing us hard. No, we’re not giving up; but these numbers are, quite frankly, discouraging.

They cut us off from our audience by making it hard to find us on the search engines. They’ve gotten very good at it.

So… Don’t be asking, “Whatever happened to so-and-so? Did he quit blogging?”

We’re not quitting. We’re getting stifled.

‘Just As I Am’

This is another hymn my mother and my aunts used to sing as they went about their housework. Here we have it by our dear friends and esteemed colleagues, Joshua and Jeremy–Just As I Am (Without One Plea). 

Weird Stuff Happening with This Blog

Ever get the feeling everyone in town just snuck away and left you?

We’re closing in on another month featuring a loss of some 2,000 views compared to the same month last year. WordPress insists there’s nothing wrong. Honk if you believe that.

Some of you have found it practically impossible to get your comments published. I believe you, but I can’t explain it. Some of those comments that frustrated you actually wound up being published–don’t ask me how.

Although I have readers in every time zone on the planet, for some unknown reason, every night around 7 or 8 p.m. EST, viewer traffic here stops just about dead. Why should that be?

This kind of thing has happened to so many Christian and conservative bloggers, we just have to believe Big Tech is doing it on purpose. They’re afraid to ban us all outright, so they employ algorithms to cut back our viewership; they make our posts harder to find on search engines. They get away with this because it’s what our unlawful phony Democrat regime wants them to do.

Well… if we could somehow average 400 views a day for the last five days of June, we’d catch up to one of last year’s months. Last November and December, we were hitting that target every day. Now… never.

Christian bloggers, ahoy! We have to stick together. We have to support each other.

I think the way to do that is for each of us to display posts by other Christian bloggers on our own blogs. If you have a Christian blog and would like me to display one of your posts now and then, please just let me know! There will be no charge for this. It’ll cost you nothing but a few minutes of your time.

Let’s at least try to defeat the censors!
