2010’s Creme of the Crop
A top ten blog post at the end of the year is almost blogging protocol anymore. But I think posts like this serve as a good jumping on point for new readers. They also show us where the conversation and thoughts of those who have visited have been.
My thought on the top ten is that this list represents where this blog has shared valuable information and stories with others. Feel free to check out these blogs that others thought were the best this year:
Mark Driscoll Kicks Terry Virgo’s Butt (A synthesis of Mark Driscoll’s time encouraging New Frontiers in 2008 from both Mark and Terry’s perspective.)
Inspired by the Jesus Manifesto, Napoleon on Jesus (In the midst of reading the Jesus Manifesto, I was reminded of this quote by Napoleon. It’s worth your time.)
Red Moon Rising Quote #2 (Written in 2006, this is a quote from the book Red Moon Rising. I think one of the elements people are drawn to in the 24/7 prayer movement is the deep passion that fuels this prayer movement. Check the quote out for evidence.)
Thirty Days To Greater Fruitfulness: Introduction (The Lord challenged me to spend thirty days waiting on Him in silence, obeying His voice if and when I heard it, and blogging about the results.)
Antioch 2009, All Things Starfish, and Haven in the Hood (This blog is a synthesis of different bloggers’ thoughts on the Antioch Gathering in ‘09. A number of major players in the house church world gathered and the official version of the Starfish Manifesto was released.)
Stuff I’m Reading (This is just some thoughts on what I’ve read over the years.)
Red Moon Rising Quote #1 (See thoughts on Red Moon Rising Quote #2.)
Why You Come to Pursuing Glory (This was my attempt to create an on-ramp for new readers based on this blog’s most read articles. If you’re new, check it out.)
Food For Thought: Thirty Days To Greater Fruitfulness (One of my Food For Thought posts, this post came out during the first week of September. It captures a number of relevant blog posts and has a link to a summary page of my first week during my Thirty Days to Greater Fruitfulness Challenge.)
My Daugther: The Newest Fiery Believer I Know (This blog is a reflection of events that transpired after my daughter accepted Christ. This may be one of my favorites this year.)

Updating the Blog Roll…
From time to time I comb through my blog roll, weed out blogs that haven’t had any posts lately, and add the blogs that have really been speaking to me. Today is one of those days. Hope you enjoy the new links.
Food For Thought: Thirty Days To Greater Fruitfulness Week 2
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.
I never knew that blogging every day could be so difficult. The people who do this regularly must have no other job or commitments (or they lack small children). Despite my complaining, this has actually been a good process and I’ve learned a lot about Jesus, listening, blogging, and writing. And now, on with the links.
A New Kind of Disciple Felicity Dale reposts a blog from Intentional Gatherings about a spiritual revolution taking place among young adults in the United States. It’s a must read at Simply Church.
New Generations International Newspaper Check out this excellent story at David Watson’s blog, Touchpoint, which tells the story of a miracle happening in their church planting network in Southeast Asia.
What is Organic Church This is an in-depth article between Neil Cole and Frank Viola. Each call what they are doing organic church but the result is very different. I think this interview by Keith Giles at Subversive1 is incredibly helpful. We have a lot to learn from both men.
Spiritual Family This blog looks at the shirt that has taken place as a movement-oriented house church network begins to operate as a spiritual family. House churches will never work if we don’t do both. Find more at A Holy Discontent’s Weblog.
Emerging Doubt This post is by Steve over at Movements.net. Steve brings us up to date on why much of the “Emergent Church” conversation didn’t help bring the Gospel to others like they said it would.
Thirty Days To Greater Fruitfulness, Week Two And finally, my little contribution to the internets. Check out the exploits of a man committed to listening to Jesus and obeying what he hears for 30 days.
