Eucatastrophe's Top Ten Posts for 2005

These are posts that I personally wrote this past year (except for one). I gave myself about 5 minutes to rank them. It may be that you would rank them differently. In any case, here is my personal Top Ten list for 2005 posts.

#1 – NT Survey Lecture Summary – If you want to know what doctrine has had the greatest impact on me over the last 8 years and only have time to read one of my Top Ten Posts, this is the one to read. The truth of the Messiah’s vicarious humanity has been a life-giving fountain for me.

#2 – Real Men and Women are Gospel-Driven – I really do not like the title, but I do really love the content of the post. It represents my thinking on biblical interpretation and living… I’m currently revising these notes in preparation for presenting it at a pastors’ fraternal on January 24th.

#3 – Moralism Versus Christ-centered Exposition by Tim Keller – I ranked this post third because it fits very nicely with post two. Most significant (and why it makes the top ten lists for posts that I have written) are the comments that follow Keller’s thoughts. It generated some great discussion. Also, I must include Functional Gospel-Centeredness at #3 because it is an article that was heavily influenced by Tim Keller's exposition of Galatians 2 in his article entitled The Centrality of the Gospel.

#4 – Spiritual Blessings that Value the Physical Creation: A Gospel-centered View of the World – This post will tell you what most occupies my thoughts as of late. I will never read Ephesians or Colossians in the same way again.

#5 – Orphans, Adoption, and Fuling, China: James 1:27 – This one is about adoption. Need I say more? It’s really a short biblical theology of adoption.

#6 – Leadership in the Home: Morals-driven or Gospel-driven – Guess what one of my New Year’s resolutions is…

#7 – Sanctification: Becoming More Than a Mere Outline of a Human Being – If you want to know a little about how I view sanctification, curl up with this post with a cup of hot chocolate.

#8 – Preaching Matthew 18:15-20 from a Gospel-centered Perspective – What thinkest thou?

#9 – The Gospel of Deliverance – Deliverance is an absolutely wonderful thing! If you feel the need for it, Psalm 3 is a great place to go.

#10 – The Wonder of Bobble Heads – This post is last but it’s not least. It generated more hits than any other post this past year. Go figure…
