New Commenting System

I finally gave in and switched over to the Disqus Commenting System.

Ever since then, I have had a grand total of ZERO comments.

Hmmm….

Then Sam emailed me today and said that my comment sections were all out of whack. I think my caching setting were not allowing Disqus to work. (Thanks, Sam!!)

So…. I think I have it all fixed now.

The Disqus commenting system also has these cool features: You can Like my post by sharing it on Twitter and Facebook, or, better yet, share your own comment on Twitter and Facebook.

Share and Tweet Comment on Disqus

If you are not seeing the buttons to share your own comment on Twitter and Facebook, you will need to connect these accounts to your free Disqus account.

Best Blogs from 2011

Best Blogs of 2011

I want to personally thank all of you for such a great 2011! This blog and website has been in existence for over 10 years, but it was only this year that I decided to start taking it seriously.

Last January, I was averaging about 50 visits per day. This December, I averaged over 1400 daily visits. That’s a 2800% increase! While I could chalk this up to learning a lot about blogging (which I did), or learning a lot about theology and Scripture (some of which is documented on this blog), most of this increase is due to you – my friends and fellow blogger/writers in the online community.

Thank you all for being a part of the Till He Comes blog. I am looking forward to what we all learn together in 2012.

Here are some highlights from this past year:

The top ten blog posts of 2011:

Well Said…

Good Blog Posts Here are some of the best blog posts and blog comments I read this week:

Great Blog Posts

Have you been hurt by the church? Kathy Escobar is starting an online class called “Hope for the Wounded: Helping Those Hurt by the Church.” I encourage you to participate, if you can.
Valdez from a new blog called “Faith in the Postmodern World” wrote a great article summarize the Emergent/ Emerging/ Missional/ Organic church that has been developing over the past twenty years or so. If you are wondering about these movements, or need a refresher, go check out his post.
Brad Brisco from the Missional Church Network wrote a great post called “Meeting the Neighbahs.” If you need ideas for loving and serving your community, reading that post is a great place to start, and then head over to Sam’s series on Loving Your Neighbors for a more in-Depth look.
Eric Carpenter from A Pilgrim’s Progress asked some great questions about how big of a church is too big? What do you think? Go on over and read his post, and weigh in on the conversation.
I was interested to read what Alan Knox wrote this week about speaking in tongues, since I knew that I would be posting on it earlier today. Alan has some great input on the subject, pointing out that when we are “gathered with the church (i.e., other Christians) [we should] always and only do and say things that will benefit the group.” Right on, Alan! (As always)

Posts

Here are some of the blog posts I read this week that really made an impact on me.

“Swanny” from Allergic to BS provided a list for why legalists make lists.
Sam asks some really tough questions about serving the homeless in our communities.
Nathan Bingham reminded us that as followers of Jesus, we have no special religious requirements.
Trevin Wax posted a great poem from Ben Witherington III called “If Only.“

Comments

On Bounded Sets and Centered Sets, Dan B. from Snorting Horses wrote this breathtaking comment:

I’m less interested in getting someone through the door of some building. In fact, I have almost zero interest in that unless there’s something about what goes on in that building that really helps my friend walk more closely with God. My focus is on walking through life toward Christ with people.
