Food For Thought: New Blogger Edition
Every week here at Pursuing Glory I try to bring together the best posts I’ve found that will equip the end-times church to operate in her God-ordained destiny. These are the best blogs, articles, books and other resources related to our purpose here at this site. Feel free to visit, comment, and make use of the resources found at each site.
This week I’m super excited about being able to feature several new bloggers who I know personally. You might notice that I personally know a few people who blog. What’s exciting about this edition is I think a few of the posts some of these new bloggers posted this week were edifying at a level to be included here on the Food for Thought post. Let me know what you think.
Wrestling with finances is never easy. Dave, one of our new featured bloggers, tells a story about God’s knowledge of our situation and his ability to provide for us in our lack. This will be a needed message in the days ahead.
A Letter to Us Who Think We Know the Lord
Because I’ve known Josh, I’ve gotten a chance to see the kind of humility that is birthed from the insight he describes in this post. I think this is a powerful post to read, particularly if you’ve walked with the Lord for a long time. Humility is the key to continuing to grow.
Felicity is in the middle of blogging about the reality of the spiritual realm and how it impacts our lives. This story is a dramatic testimony of that fact. Experiences like this cause impact not only our view of God and His involvement in our lives but they also impact unbelievers.
There’s Not Enough Money in the World to Keep Doing Church the Way We’ve Been Doing It
Here’s a simple blog post with an idea that people need to think long and hard about. If it’s premise true, then we need to adjust the way we “do church” in a significant way.

How To Get The Most Out of Pursuing Glory
There are lots of ways to get more out of Pursuing Glory than just stopping back to check for new content every few days. Here are some of the main ways you can join the conversation, learn, and contribute to the conversation we’re having:
Subscribe by Email or RSS
If you’re not particularly technologically inclined, hit the “Email Subscription” button on the sidebar of the blog. If you’re more into computers or you’re daring, you could subscribe to this blog using a feed reader. This link is a great explanation of RSS and Feed Readers. Let’s face it. Life is busy and it’s easy to fall out of the loop. Either of these tricks will help you stay involved in what’s going on.
Join Our Facebook Group
One of the things I love about Facebook is it really can build online community in a unique way. The Pursuing Glory Facebook Page will feature discussion about current topics, select resources, and a chance to talk about the things that are important to you the reader. You can check out the Pursuing Glory Facebook page here.
Comment
We learn more by talking and teaching than we do by listening and reading. So help us learn by sharing your life, your pursuit of Jesus, and what you’ve learned through your experience in the comment section. Click on “Leave a Comment” or “with 1 Comment” or “with [X number of] Comments” at the top of every post to see and leave comments.
Follow Me On Twitter
Twitter is where I post thoughts and quotes that will either become a full post here or is relevant to the topics we discuss here. I’m also planning at least one Twitter/Blog series where one set of unique material will show up in my twitter stream that will correspond with a blog series I’m running here. You can find me on Twitter @traviskolder.
Notes From The Margins
On a somewhat irregular basis I post a blog in my “Notes from the Margin” series. The point of the series is not just what I’m finding in Scripture and what I write, but also what you’re finding in Scripture and what you’re writing about it. If you have a blog, I’d love to see you take this series and do your own. You can check out the guidelines for Notes from the Margins and read examples of the series here and here.
Email Me
I love interacting with readers of the blog. Shoot me an email, say hi, show me the blog you’re writing or tell me about the work you’re doing, tell me what you’d like to see or what you’ve enjoyed so far.
The Wayback Machine: March
Some things just get better with age. “The Wayback Machine” posts occur at the end of every month and reference the best posts of that month in years past. My hope is to provide a good jumping on point for readers who have never been to Pursuing Glory.
2009
Todd Bentley leading a major healing revival in Lakeland, Florida, falling during its height, and then being restored is probably one of the notable events in the charismatic world over the last decade. I had written about the Lakeland Outpouring previously, and this follow up post looked the restoration process Rick Joyner was taking Todd Bentley through.
2008
What I’ve Learned About Blogging While I Was Gone
March of 2008 marked a return to not just blogging but to the internet as a whole for me. Previous to this post, I had made some mistakes with some posts I had written on this blog, had my only computer crash, and hadn’t had internet for three months. It was during this season that the Lord Jesus taught me a few things about blogging that I thought would be helpful to share. If you’re a blogger, I think you’ll enjoy this post.
