FTC Disclosure Rules for Blogs

Over on my company blog I indicated that these rules were generally common sense, as in if you make money off of something you should disclose the fact that you do.

Of course, you can’t count on the government to use common sense even in implementing common sense. Thus somehow if print news organizations [...]

New Methodist Blogger – Rev. Geoffrey Lentz

I’ve been meaning to post this for a few days, but it’s been busy, as you can tell from my low level of blogging. Geoffrey Lentz is the associate pastor of First United Methodist Church of Pensacola, and a former student of mine. In fact, I met Geoffrey in the first class I taught [...]

Advance/Review Copies of The Jesus Paradigm

My company, Energion Publications, is about to send out free advance copies of The Jesus Paradigm, a new book from Dr. David Alan Black. If you’re interested in reviewing an advance copy and are a blogger or write for a print publication, please see this post and let me know.

There ought to be a law …

A few days ago I wrote on my business blog about embracing Web 2.0 as a publisher. Today I read this op-ed from the Washington Post, in which Bruce Sanford and Bruce Brown think there ought to be a law–or bunches of them, to protect print journalists from the pernicious arrival of the future.

Reality, Perception, and TEA

One of the great experiences of my life was meeting a Calvinist evangelist. His name is John Blanchard, and I only “met” him in a fairly large group, but it was clear that he was genuinely an evangelist and genuinely a Calvinist. He was asked during a question and answer session just how he [...]

John Hobbins Leaves Complegalitarian

Please don’t take the title here as some sort of rejoicing from either side. John gives his reasons here in a very thoughtful post.

There are two reasons I want to respond with a full post. First, his reasons are worth reading and considering, even though ultimately I will continue to fall afoul of [...]

Christian Carnival Hosting

I believe there are a number of Christian readers of this blog who have never participated in or hosted the Christian Carnival. If you are one of these, let me suggest participation. If you don’t want to do it for the fun of reading all those entries, consider doing it for the incoming links [...]

New Blog – Caraleisa

A long time friend of mine has just started a blog, Caraleisa, with her first post, Giving Thanks, this year . . .. I have hopes she’ll get more controversial, as I know very well she can.

Welcome to the blogosphere!

Culture11

I received an e-mail from Joe Carter suggesting that I check out Culture11, of which he’s a managing editor. I’d feel real special, but I know that a bunch of my friends got such invitations as well, so probably Joe was inviting all the bloggers with whom he has contact, which is, after all, [...]

It’s Raining Books, Hallelujah!

I haven’t been blogging much for the last two weeks, as I’ve been pretty busy with other things.

While I was too busy to get right two them, all four books that I had on interlibrary loan arrived at the same time, one of the unfortunate problems of requesting lists of books. Several of [...]
