Posted by Michael on January 23rd, 2008 filed in Christian Carnival

Welcome to the 208th edition of the Christian Carnival, a weekly amalgomation of this week’s best Christian writing. Chasing the Wind is humbled to host such a fine collection of postings this week; I suggest picking a few titles below and clicking them; you won’t find a finer collection of Christian thoughts anywhere on the web.

ChristianPF presents >Financial lessons from Solomon posted at >Money in the Bible | Christian Personal Finance Blog, saying, “The Bible says that Solomon was the richest man who ever lived and also the wisest ever to live. I think that makes him qualified to give some financial advice.”

Diane R. presents >We Are Too!….So There! posted at >Crossroads: Where Faith and Inquiry Meet, saying, “Many younger Christian leaders today are criticising the evangelical church for it’s recent history of neglecting the poor. But what do you think we’ve been doing for the past 100 years?”

Jeremy Pierce presents >Jesus’ Impeccability and Language Acquisition posted at >Parableman, saying, “A reflection on how Jesus must have learned language and what it means for questions about whether Jesus made any mistakes.”

    Shaun, thanks, I think I can help you out there. *poink* There, it’s added.

    Doug and Martin, it’s my pleasure and honor. I’m thrilled to host.
