King For A Week – Pastorway

Articles Collection cover image

King for a Week is an honor I bestow on blogs that I feel are making a valuable contribution to my faith and the faith of other believers. Every week (or so) I select a blog, link to it from my site, and add that site’s most recent headlines to my left sidebar. While this is really not much, I do feel that it allows me to encourage and support other bloggers while making my readers aware of other good sites.

It is the Christian’s lot to be underappreciated. Whether this is good or bad I don’t know. But I do know that Phillip Way’s site, Pastorway, has to be considered underappreciated. There are few bloggers I’ve encountered that write more consistently and few that write at such length, all the while maintaining such depth. From what I’ve observed, Philip’s efforts in the blogosphere are inextricably connected to his ministry at Maranatha Community Church where he serves as pastor. His daily “Time In The Word” columns (TIME standing for Together for Inspiration, Motivation, and Encouragement) are usually tied directly to a current sermon or sermon series. They are always worth reading. And so I’m glad to nominate Pastorway as this week’s King for a Week.

In the coming days you will be able to see the most recent headlines from this blog in the sidebar of my site. I hope you will make your way over the site and look around.

I continue to accept nominations for King of the Week. If you have a site you would like to nominate, feel free to do so. Thanks to those of you who nominated this week’s honoree.

    What Becomes Of All Our Dreams?

    My dad loved to cook. This was a passion that began relatively late in his life after the kids had moved out. With an empty nest, my parents were able to live a slower-paced life and my dad began to dabble in cooking. He soon found that he loved it and that my mother was…

    Dumb Will Do: Why Satan Doesn’t Need Heresy

    There is one memory of my earlier years as a Christian that I’ve never been able to shake. It’s a formative memory that I actually don’t think the Lord means for me to shake, for it has often reminded me that, when it comes to the local church’s worship, the stakes are sky high.

  • Neglected Prayer

    The Things You Neglect To Pray About

    There is a close connection between prayer and humility. This being the case, there is also a close connection between prayerlessness and pride. Those who believe they are self-sufficient feel no need to petition God for his help, for his strength, for his wisdom. It is only those who admit their lack who will cry…
