Long Answer:
blogs4God is a semi-definitive aggregation of of Christians who blog. This 'democritized' user-based ranking
system differs from a 'Yahoo-like' hierarchical system in that submitted posts are then voted on by other
blogs4God registrants. It is the hope that this free, 'digg-like' service will provide the Christian blogging
community with a showcase of the best content that can be heard above the white noise generated by the
blogosphere on the whole.
Short Answer:
Originally a semi-definitive list of Christians
who blog has over time morphed into a semi-definitive social bookmarking network of
Christians who blog whose purpose is simple: Provide blogging
practitioners of historic Christianity a place where they can contribute,
consume, comment upon, and critique quality weblog content .
Contact Us:
Registered members can contact us through a form offered via the top menu bar, non-registered members can try to
reach us by sending email to a gmail address whose name is the same as the domain name (yes, the spam is that
bad that we have to play this silly security through obscurity game).
- Historic Christianity
- The basis of blogs4God unity is built
about the Lordship of Jesus Christ as defined by
Scripture and its
associated historic/traditional practices - best demonstrated in confessions
such as the
Apostles'
and/or
Nicene
Creed, the
Westminster
Confession of Faith, the
the
1963 Baptist Faith and Message and/or the enumerations and expositions of
the
writings
of the early church fathers that are accepted as accurate statements of
scriptural truth by all three major branches of the Body: Orthodox, Roman
Catholic, and Protestant.
IN short, while all are welcome to consume the information provided by this
