Top 10 Blogs of 2012

By Nathan Camp

A couple of weeks ago we compiled a list of the most read blogs of 2012.

It is always exciting to see the 1,000's of reads on these valuable articles each week.  This year, the most read blogs often had to do with pastors protecting what God has given them to lead.  The blog  "Can Conducting a Wedding Land You in Jail?" dealt with protecting ministers.  Another popular topic was pastors and ministry leaders desiring to understand the law and make it work in their favor.  Blogs such as "How Your Church Website is Breaking the Law" helped pastors understand how the laws work.  Yet another common theme was succession.  Blogs such as "Church Founder Dies, Son Gets Fired By Board" struck a chord with many pastors, begging them to ask the question about setting their legacy in place.  A highly read blog was "Man Sues Church for Being Put on Prayer List".  This dealt with privacy and what a church can and cannot share about the lives of its congregants.

Below is the list of the Top 10 Blogs of 2012.  Warning: they may be a blessing to you.
