Church of God Blogs

Welcome to Church of God Blogs.

In this website I have listed many Church of God blogs I think can be useful for fellowship, for encouragement, for study, for doctrine, or for news. These are blogs published by ministers and members with a background in the teachings of Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong and the old Worldwide Church of God.

I am publishing these lists to provide Church of God members a way to conveniently locate a variety of Church of God related blogs useful for information, news, opinion, fellowship, encouragement, and instruction in Christian living and doctrine.

It is my hope that I may expand and improve this site as time goes on.

There are two lists. The blogs in each list are in alphabetical order by blog name. I have included my own blog in both lists.

To access a blog, click on the URL listed for that blog.

At the bottom of this page is a list of abbreviations I use in this list for Church of God fellowships.

I can be contacted through my email address author@ptgbook.org

Columns are now sortable. To sort the lists by the contents of a particular column, click on the word "Sort" above the column or click on the column heading. This can be handy if you want to group all the blogs together for a particular Church. For example, if you want to see all the blogs by authors affiliated with LCG, just sort by the "COG Affiliation" column and scroll down till you see all the LCG blogs grouped together. Or, you can see all the blogs that accept comments together by sorting on the "Accepts Comments" column.

LIST ONE:

The blogs in this first list are ones I believe to be to be published by Church of God members and ministers who, while not necessarily agreeing with every point of doctrine the Church has taught, generally show respect for the teachings and person of Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong. I think they can be a source of encouragement, fellowship, instruction in Christian living and doctrine, and/or news.
