Welcome to this week’s Christian Carnival. There are a number of interesting and engaging posts from around the blogosphere related to Christian matters — and here are a few of them.

First off, Joshua (aka Disciple) reminds us about the importance of Prayer over at Closer2THEE.

Moving to the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, if you have ever wondered why Jonah Became Angry, you will want to check out Romi’s devotional over at In the Way Everlasting, where he challenges us to see people around us as God does.

Ridge Burns reflects on the need for understanding from Psalm 119:33-34 (“Teach me, O Lord, to follow your decrees, that I may keep them to the end. Give me understanding, and I will follow your law and obey it with all my heart”), in his blog over at InFaith.

Turning to the New Testament,  John Marcott, inspired by last week’s post by Richard Beck where he rewrote the Sermon on the Mount, produced his own paraphrase of the Sermon on the Mount Remix to challenge and inspire as we are Walking Towards The Light.

Kerin Gedge presents Kerinthian’s: The Commandments of Jesus Part One posted over at Kerinthian’s.

Dean, in a brief extrapolation on some “Noble Characters” from Acts 17, provides us with some insight and grace of how we should treat people who present different theological ideas to us over at his Working on the Mission blogspot.

Annette offers a devotional study of 2 Corinthians 3:17-21 in her post Day by Day, reminding us that God transforms us from within, over at her blog Fish and Cans.

Over at Thinking in Christ, Russ reflects on the text of the New Testament in his post Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt on the New Testament. He argues that the claim that the scribes who copied the Scriptures made changes to support their theology is not supported by the manuscript evidence and amounts to nothing more than an ad hominim attack against the scribes themselves.

In the area of Christian living, Beth Arnold writes about knowing just the right people to accomplish what God has planned for her to do in her post It’s Who You Know over at InFaith’s Mission Blog.

Mac Hildebrand interviews Peter Anderson (of BibleMoneyMatters.com) about stewardship and debt over at his Credit Card Chaser Blog.

And Melanie Grant writes about Burning bush experiences in everyday life over at  Mel’s Mouthful on Mothering.

Finally, with Father’s Day approaching, Paul Kuritz takes a look at our Heavenly Father’s great gift to us over at Opinions, and James Nakamura reflects on connecting with sons through remembrances at his Nakadude: Knowing the Extraordinary from an ordinary’s perspective blog.
