As 2013 winds to a close, I took some time to glance back at our site statistics from the year that was. These are the articles that got the greatest traffic from you, our dearest readers:
10. Pray God’s Words Back to Him: Claiming the Promises of God. This post helps people to see the Bible as a prayer-book, cover to cover.
9. What’s the Deal with the “T” in LGBT? This is a reflection on the growing discussion regarding the transgender community. Christians will need to be much more familiar with this discussion in the future.
8. What Is Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit? This post answers one of the questions that Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart has raised more than anything else. It’s almost always a burning issue for those asking it.
7. Modesty: Why Wardrobe Still Matters. This summer raised a lot of questions about the true nature of modesty. I expect this again in the future, but this was our foray into the conversation.
6. Reflections on the SBC 2013. Despite critiques that the days of denominations are over, this post looks into the benefits that something like the SBC still possesses.
5. Four Ways We Need to Grow in Evangelism. This was a brief reflection for our staff and church–that turned out to be very popular in other churches as well.
4. Ten Ways to Fight Like a Christian. This post helps married couples, but the principles behind it are good for any relational conflict. (And no matter what the new year holds, relational conflict will be a part of it!)
3. Two Ways to Know You Are Saved. This is another post concerning assurance of salvation–answering the question that prompted Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart.
2. Four Reasons the Gospels Could Not Be Legends. This short apologetic piece (heavily influenced by Tim Keller) picks apart the common but baseless notion that the gospels are simply myths.
1. The “Beheading” of Louie Giglio. It has been an active year for homosexuality in the political arena. One such flash point was when Louie Giglio stepped down from praying at Obama’s second inauguration. This was our reflection on that event.
