the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

Justin Raby presents Day 5: Not So Pink posted at Bible in a Month.

Jim Klingenberger presents Unions posted at Xulonjam’s Blog, saying, “Not sure how to categorize this. It came out of a couple of interactions, one on a secular board and another on a Christian board. I am defending Unions from the charges which are popular these days, particularly the idea that Unions are anti-Christian.” By the way, we’re talking ‘labor’ unions here.

For the Tim Tebow fans, Rebecca LuElla Miller presents Platforms And Purpose posted at A Christian Worldview of Fiction, saying, “The topic is actually Christian living, not really a devotional, but none of the other categories fit. Here’s a key excerpt: “The size of the platform does not dictate the value of the ministry or reduce the importance of the purpose God has given to each. “”
