What’s Been Popular @ LayGuy
I’ve been blogging at www.layguy.com for just over two years now. Before that I posted a few items on Yahoo 360 and I copied a few of those posts over. Tonight I took a trip into my stats just to see what’s been popular on this blog and below are the top half 5 posts over the years. Hope you enjoy..
When I wrote this post, I had no idea just how popular it was to become. It was the story of Dede – a man in Indonesia who contracted Human Papillomavirus (HPV) – a bug which causes skin diseases and warts. However Dede suffered from a rare form of immune disorder where his body was unable to cope with HPV and his warts took on a “bark like” quality and just kept on growing and growing and growing….
2. Bill Hybels says “We Made A Mistake”
Will always remember when I heard Bill Hybels say, “We made a mistake” in regards to the “attractional” or “seeker sensitive” approach. He admitted that this created a breed of shallow and spoon fed Christians. Research by his church concluded that the goal of churches is to create disciples who are “self feeders” and are able to grow in their spiritual maturity and develop a deeper relationship with Jesus.
3. Watch Rob Bell’s NOOMA Online For Free!
While I am not a big fan of Rob Bell – mainly because of his emergent type need to need to question everything – I am a fan of this guy’s ability to communicate. A great example of this is his NOOMA series of video’s – short stories designed to draw out conversation on spiritual matters for small groups. I collected all his NOOMA video’s I found online (21 at the time), made a VODPOD collection and posted them on my blog. Worked like a charm until they were deemed copy write and whoever posted them online had to take them off.
4. America’s Top 50 Influential Churches
This was posted back in July 2007 and has been getting constant hits ever since. Snatched and expanded from www.churchrelevance.com at the time, this post lists (with URL’s and some Pastor’s blogs) the most influential churches in the US back in July 2007. Makes for interesting reading and a great place to check out church websites and resources on some of the best churches around.
5. The Demon Seed – Fallen Angels
This is one post from a series of posts I did on the Nephilim – the hybrid offspring of angels and humans before the flood and the real reason God destroyed the earth. Most Christians (including Reformed) don’t take this topic seriously and brush it off as fantasy. But I invite you to take a journey with me with this series of posts and you will never see history the same way again. Entire series (although unfinished) listed below.
The Demon Seed – Text & Questions
The Demon Seed – Fallen Angels
The Demon Seed – And Also Afterward
Hmm…. makes me want to complete this series.
