King for a Week – Pyromaniac

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 I select a blog, link to it from my site, and add that site’s most recent headlines to the left sidebar of my site. While this is really not much, I do feel that it allows me to give honor where I feel honor is due.

It should come as no great surprise that Phil Johnson’s Pyromaniac would eventually win this award. Phil entered the blogosphere only six or eight months ago, but has already made a significant impact. Always willing to speak his mind, Phil has made a great number of friends (and more than a few enemies). Phil is known in the blogosphere for his love of Charles Spurgeon, his defense of cessationism, his unique style of branding and his constant editing after he has posted an article (something which drives RSS users to distraction).

I have come to deeply respect the Pyromaniac and have benefitted greatly from his foray into the blogosphere. And so, for the next week you will be able to see the most recent headlines from his blog in the sidebar of my site. I hope you will make your way over to 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 by clicking on the “suggest” button below the King of the Week box. Thanks to those of you who nominated this week’s honoree.


  • Men in the Image of Women and Women in the Image of Men

    Men in the Image of Women and Women in the Image of Men

    God made men and God made women. God made men distinct from women and women distinct from men. God made men and women equal in worth and value while also making them distinct in some purpose and function. It’s all obvious stuff, this—obvious matters of differences between the sexes.

  • A Less Busy Heart

    In the midst of our busy lives, we can sometimes wonder whether we really have the time to pray. Won’t prayer hinder our productivity? Won’t prayer keep us from getting done all the things we need to do?

  • Good News Rock Bottom

    Good News at Rock Bottom

    Life most certainly brings its challenges. Some of these are just little ruts along the way, some are deep and dark valleys, and some are lower still—the kind of rock bottom experiences that are so dreadful we wonder if we will be able to endure them with our faith intact.
