I've often heard it said within Pentecostal circles that the Holy Spirit gets little recognition — even within our own Pentecostal and Charismatic circles. Of course, there's some theological justification for this: According to Jesus' promise in John 14:26, one of the Holy Spirit's primary roles in the believer's life is to direct our attention to Jesus:
"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."
As I was checking out a few of my unread feed subscriptions tonight, I came across a mention of the Google Trends service. This tool has been in service for quite some time, but since I was
For some time I've wanted to provide some sort of real-world ranking system so that those of you who want to know who the "big fish" are can find them, and so those of you who have successfully worked your blog into the stratosphere would get a little praise for your effort.
After thinking about it and hacking around with some online tools, I finally have an easy way for me to quickly determine the Technorati Ranking of every blogger on my PneumaBlogs list. (The Technorati ranking is determined by the number of links to a site by other bloggers within the last few months. So it's sort of like a "vote" by other bloggers.) Upon seeing the results I was surprised at some of the lesser-known bloggers making it to the top of the heap.
Congratulations!

This is my personalized (and subjective) list of the best Pentecostal and charismatic bloggers I've found. I focus on "idea" bloggers who add value by doing more than journaling cat photos, family activities, or romantic frustrations. Though a bit of that is fine, I'm interested in highlighting reflective, thoughtful bloggers from my faith tradition.
I also focus on the more "orthodox" of Evangelical movements. So, if you identify with the Assemblies of God, traditional Pentecostal, Foursquare, Church of God (Cleveland, TN), or Reformed / mainline charismatic traditions, you're welcome here!
Contact me if you want to be considered for this list. Please provide your name, email address, the name of your blog, your blog's URL, and a short one-line description of what your blog is about.
My only request is that you either link to this list in your
