You may already be done with “best of 2012″ lists. But this was a fun year on the blog, so I thought I’d offer a quick roundup of the most popular posts from the last year.
10. The Hardest Question in Theology
One of my favorite posts from the last year, this one takes a look at different ways of answering the “Why does God allow evil?” question by translating it into “Why does God allow cats?” Also a worthy question.
9. A Job That Matters: Taking the Image of God to Work
The first of two posts from our series on the image of God, here we look at what the image of God means for how we understand work and vocation.
8. What “Mainline” Does and Doesn’t Mean
Just a random post on what it means to call a church “mainline.”

5. How bad is the job market for PhDs?
If you’re interested in or already pursuing a Ph.D., I apologize for this post. Kind of. It’s good information, but it can be rather sobering.
4. More Bad News on the PhD Job Market
If the first one wasn’t bad enough, here’s another.
3. The Psychology of Social Networking (infographic)
This was just one of those random posts that got shared quite a bit. And it does share some interesting information about how and why we use social media.
2. Young Men are Educationally and Relationally Doomed
Philip Zimbardo’s video on “The Demise of Guys” generated quite a bit of interest.
1. American Men Don’t Sing – Alistair Begg
The year’s most popular post comes from a sermon that Alistair Begg preached at Western Seminary. Although the sermon itself is well worth viewing, the key part came before the sermon even started, when Begg offered a few comments on why American men don’t sing in worship.

It’s amazing in favor of me to have a website, which is beneficial in support of my knowledge. thanks admin
