Keywords: Christianity & Religion, Worldviews & Culture,
Occasionally Jubilee Centre staff are asked what other Christian bloggers we can recommend who engage in social and political issues of interest to the world outside the Church.
We thought that we would put this same question to you in order to find the best writers in the blogosphere. So, for the next two months we invite your nominations for blogs that demonstrate the continued relevance of the bible to the world today or otherwise give a Christian perspective on social and political concerns. In September, we will then let you vote on the most popular ones. Awards may go to blogs by individuals, churches, and organisations.
Nominations can be made in the comments below or via twitter @JubileeCentre If you write a blog, then send your readers to this site and we'll factor your traffic into the evaluation of nominations and the counting of votes!

Albert Mohler has a fresh, timely and authoritative blog

A proposal by the Nordic countries 23 July 2010
I think Jubilee Centre's own blog must go on the list! How do I suggest that?
But otherwise: I think that Marcus Honeysett has a good perspectives on social and political issues from time to time: http://marcushoneysett.squarespace.com/
Additionally, Theos always has a thought-provoking perspective: http://www.theosthinktank.co.uk/mainnav/the-current-debate.aspx

I have been perpetually impressed with the breadth and accessibility of Albert Mohler's blog. He writes on a range of social, political, and theological issues, guiding the reader to apply the truths of Scripture to develop a well-rounded and informed Christian worldview.

A blog from my friend Geoff Ashton brings some well woven insights. It touches upon church life, personal relationships and various social issues: http://somethingpersonal.typepad.com/something_personal/

A couple of suggestions:
- Justin Taylor is an American working in the publishing industry, and a former associate of John Piper's. He writes a very popular blog here: www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/justintaylor about the interchange of faith and the world. Particularly good on books. You could visit it every day and go away with a wealth of hints and resources to chew on. As well as links, he sometimes writes from a personal perspective on issues, and it's always illuminating writing.
- Richard Perkins is minister in a church in South London. His blog (http://theurbanpastor.wordpress.com/) centres more, perhaps, on day-to-day ministry issues, but he often will consider broader issues (from the perspective of local church ministry).
Thanks, Tim

The greatest blogs in the world can be found on www.mavunochurch.org an amazing church in Kenya whose mission statement is turning ordinary people into fearless influencers of society.
Our sunday sermons are based on topics relevant to everyday life and every week people are invited to give feedback of the sermons on the blog.
People are able to share openly about challenges and struggles that they would otherwise find difficult to talk about. They are able to receive help. There are amazing testimonies on the blog. Amazing life change of people whose lives have been transformed when the got to know God.
Check it out! You will be amazed.
The church sermons can also be downloaded on the website.
Thanks,
Muthoni

I'd like to nominate thissideofsunday.blogspot.com
