Editor’s Note: January 2013

by Stephen Rodgers

And…we’re back!

So the good news is that you’re reading this on the new and improved Beacon!  We’re now simpler and sleeker than ever, and regardless of what the resolution is on your device, you should have a truer reading experience now that the upgrade is complete.  So take a moment to poke around and enjoy the new theme. If you notice anything not working correctly, please drop me a line and we’ll get it fixed.

There’s never quite enough time to finish everything, so we’ll be wrapping up some of the other projects that I mentioned back in December in the weeks to come.  To celebrate the new year and the new theme however, I thought you might enjoy a quick look back on the most popular posts of 2012.  If you missed any the first time around, now’s a great chance to catch up.

The most popular page by far was just people landing on the home page, but once you get past that we quickly get into the top ten posts:

  1. LBC Ministry Overview – A list of the various ministries that you can get involved in here at LBC. If you’re new to the church and wondering where you can serve, this list is a great place to start!
  2. DTR – Hub Post -The hub post for various articles and sermons on the subject of dating.
  3. Mission: LBC Los Angeles – Pastor Patrick’s article announcing the LBC LA church plant.
  4. Hub Post Directory – The collection of all the various hub posts available here on the Beacon.
  5. Signs of Spiritual Maturity #5: Changes in Friendship – The fifth post in Elder Peter Lim’s ongoing series on spiritual maturity.
  6. Recommended Resources – Our collection of external resources that we hope will be edifying, encouraging, and challenging.
  7. Gray Issues – Hub Post -The hub post for Elder Peter Lim’s seven-part series on understanding so-called “gray issues” (or “wisdom issues”) in the life of a Christian
  8. Caution – Hub Post – The hub post for Elder Mike Chon’s three-part series on humility and pride.
  9. Encouragement – Hub Post –  The hub post for Elder Mike Chon’s seven-part series on encouragement.
  10. Signs of Spiritual Maturity #6: Conservative Decision Making Motivated By a Hatred of Sin – The sixth post in Elder Peter Lim’s ongoing series on spiritual maturity.

Thanks for reading in 2012, and we look forward to picking up where we left off in 2013!
