Christian Carnival - Oct. 5 edition

Welcome to the October 5th edition of the Christian Carnival. Grab a tea, latté or juice and enjoy!

Apologetics:

• loswl presents Evolutionary Tales Exposed: Part 8 – Creation Demands vs Evolutionary Demands posted at INSPIKS. "Let`s consider the demands of creation versus the demands of the theory of evolution. First, creation demands the presence of a Creator. The theory of evolution demands the absence of a creator. Second, creation demands the creation of matter. The theory of evolution has no explanation for the origin of matter." (Loswl does a good job of confronting us with the major differences between two views of origins.)

• Richard H. Anderson presents Undesigned coincidences inspired by the Holy Spirit posted at dokeo kago grapho soi kratistos Theophilos. Richard: "one in a series of articles on the priority of the Gospel of Luke." (I'd never heard of "undesigned coincidences." Thanks, Richard, for introducing me to a new term).

Devotionals:

• Aoide-Melete-Mneme presents Thoughts on Proverbs posted at à la mode de les Muses. She writes: "Some comments about betraying another's confidence."(Aoide-Melete-Mneme has gleaned some good thoughts from Proverbs about using discretion in what we say.)

• David Alston presents My Secret Sin That God Broke My Ankle Over - Do You Do It Too? posted at Help Me Jesus! God's Big Plan for each one of us!. Dave writes: "Hi guys, I hope you like this article. True story about God's (gracious) dealing with me, despite my sin. Thanks Dave"(Dave's story shows us that God loves us far too much to let us get away with 'secret sins.')

• Zowada presents We use Jesus like a tagline. posted at Zowada Blog. Zowada writes: "Could it be that just because we say, 'In Jesus Name' we are not actually doing it for His glory?"(Zowada asks probing questions about a lot of things we do while invoking Jesus' name.")

• Russ White presents The Sin of Moses posted at Thinking in Christ.(Interesting speculation on what was the motivation behind Moses' action that really kept him out of the Promised Land.)

Narratives:

• Ridge Burns presents Unity posted at Ridge's Blog.(Ridge describes an experience of unity that has him—and us, wanting more.)

• Suler Acosta presents Trash or Treasure? posted at InFaith's Mission Blog. (Suler sees treasures, not trash, amongst the homeless on the streets of Philly.)

•  And, finally my contribution: Do we insist too much? posted at Other Food: daily devos.  "One wonderful day Michael got the invitation to join. Becoming a partner in a large prestigious firm was the dream of every young chartered accountant, and Michael was ecstatic. But when he got home and told his wife, she didn't share his enthusiasm..."
