Welcome to the April 11th 2012 edition of the Christian Carnival. There is some great reading here and I’m sure you’ll enjoy working your way through the list of posts. I hope you’ll take the time to read and ponder the very good posts that are listed below.
The weekly Christian Carnival is an opportunity for Christian blog writers to share their best posts.
As always it’s a real honour to be able to present the Christian Carnival.
Please take the time to read through each post … it’s worth it. You might also like to link to this week’s carnival so that your blog readers can enjoy the variety of styles and thought.

Let’s get started!
Ridge Burns says, “This year, I want to be astonished by the Resurrection. I want to be astonished by the work of Christ. I want to be astonished by what God continues to do in my life.” Read his post Astonished at Ridge’s Blog.
In Depending on Prayer, posted at InFaith’s Mission Blog, Gabe Stayton tells how he saw immediate results in Shiloh BIble Camp’s ministry when his wife asked others to pray.
Apologetics
Jennifer from à la mode de les Muses is discussing Psalm 23 and a speculated link to the Sumerian language in her post Thoughts on Psalms.
How do we as Christians deal with anger? That’s the question Disciple asks in the post Anger over at Closer2THEE.
At my main blog, RodneyOlsen.net, I’ve published a post about Evidence for the Resurrection. “The fact is that if we look at writings from the time and at the Biblical records we can find evidence that needs to be taken seriously.”
Devotional
“While being tempted in the desert, Jesus quoted the book of Deuteronomy saying: “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God”. And we know this: there is food for the flesh and food for the spirit.” In his post Christian fast food: the bread of life in XXI century, Taras Kaduk of INSIDE THE WHALE asks about our spiritual diet.
Annette from Fish and Cans has posted Day by Day – John 17:1-8 saying, “I am humbled by Jesus’ concern for us and all he did.”
Next in the I Am series, I Am the Door is a post by Kirra Antrobus at Thoughtful talking about Jesus as the door.
At the Jesus in the City parade Fadi decided to take a shortcut: instead of going with the parade around the many downtown city blocks, he decided to take a shortcut and meet the floats on the way back. That experience inspired him to write Hypocritical Christian Part 1 at INSPIKS.
Good Teacher is a post submitted by Rebecca LuElla Miller at A Christian Worldview of Fiction. It’s a meditation on Mark 10:17-22. “Only God is good, and God in the flesh stood in front of the man. If he could have answered, I called you good because you are the Christ, the Son of the Living God, wouldn’t Jesus have gone straight to “Follow Me”? But Mr. Got-It-Together was hung up on what he needed to do, not what he needed to believe.”
Theology
It makes sense that we want to connect with God during difficult circumstances. When Barbra’s mother was sick last December, she found that all of her prayers were directed towards her mother’s well being. Praying for Healing at Prayers for Special Help is a collection of prayers for healing that have been culled from rare religious texts and donated from her pastor.
Russ and his small group has been going through the Scriptures, starting in Genesis, in a chronological format, for over 5 years. This week they’re focusing on the Day of Atonement, it’s meaning within the Mosaic Law, and it’s meaning to Christianity. Narrative 075: The Feasts at Thinking in Christ is a post of the slides from that study.
In a confronting post, John Marcott is Dealing with the Worst at Walking Towards the Light saying, “You have to deal with women and children literally starving to death due to a drought that they each prayed intently to end…”
Finance
Managing money God’s way and from a biblical financial stewardship perspective is important and in Biblical Financial Stewardship: How We’re Trying to Manage Money God’s Way at One Money Design, Jason shares some things he’s doing to grow in this area.

A system that teaches that the way to love and inner peace is through forgiveness sounds very positive but is 
Evidence is not necessarily proof. Evidence simply helps us establish facts to help us reach a verdict.
