David– I enjoy your blog. I always appreciate these kinds of posts and link to significant or/and interesting posts. I echo Andy’s words regarding Twitter. It took me awhile but have come to value Twitter for some of the very reasons that Andy mentions. (Allowing me to post these kinds of links, etc.) Thanks.

I really learned a lot from Deep Church. The one area I saw lacking was the discussion of being in community with other believers. Belcher has been criticized for this, and somewhere (if I find it again I’ll let you know) has responded that it is true he left some things out of the book, especially concerning community. At the beginning of the book Belcher actually talks a lot about community, so I feel this is important to him, just not the focus of this particular book. I’m always longing for one book to answer every question and affirm all of my beliefs, but that is just never going to be the case (short of the Bible of course).

Thanks for all you are doing, David. My husband and I read your blog, though we haven’t commented.

David,
Like I told Skye in the comments of his post, I would love to see you on Twitter.

This post is a perfect example of it. You are like me and only have a little you want to post everyday so you jammed all of them into one big post with 10 items. With Twitter, you would probably just tweet each individual item. It really is the same as blogging–just shorter and briefer–sharing with us stuff you recommend reading and quotes that have impacted you.

Good examples of 1-2 tweet a day Twitterers are:
- David Neff http://twitter.com/dneff
- Duke Divinity http://twitter.com/DukeDivinity
- Alan Hirsch http://twitter.com/alanhirsch
- Andy Crouch http://twitter.com/ahc

Almost all your blogroll are on Twitter already. I (http://twitter.com/AndyRowell) follow from your blogroll: McLaren, Kimball, Stetzer, Emergent, Hjalmarson, Out of Ur, Taylor, Andrew Jones, Tony Jones, Myers, McKnight, and Other Journal.

Like the others here, you are a teacher and can’t help yourself from teaching–the latest venue is Twitter.

Thanks Matt – I corrected that.
And to Jamie and Bill – here’s a shocker … are you ready? I got a cell phone – yesterday – after going four years without one.

#8 – can’t find the article by Luke. The link just takes one to Life on the Vine’s website…

I bet you once said you’d never blog, too!

Great list of links, David! While I am not going to try to talk you into Twitter, I will say that I think Skye’s list (apart from #6) misses the point by a long shot. The medium, while by its nature has issues, should not be mistaken wholesale for the use people make of it. Just saying…

Again, thanks for the great list of links!

Peace,
Jamie
