- The “Science” of Biblical Counseling – We are prone to want formulaic answers that will solve our problems, but this post makes the argument that biblical counseling is more of a process than a math problem.
- Being Like Joe Encouragement – “Discouragement sets in when our hope is leaking out. It’s a sort of surrender to our fear. When this happens, and it happens often, what we need is an infusion of hope. That’s what encouragement is. Barnabas went around giving people hope-infusions, which helped them keep fighting the fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12).”
- Against Bloodless Ghosts – Sinclair Ferguson reminds us (via Jared Wilson) that “there is no “thing” that Jesus takes from Himself and then, as it were, hands over to me. There is only Jesus Himself.”
- Work Ethic – How we approach our work and do our work matters; Mike Fabarez reminds us why.
- An Email Charter – Some helpful tips for managing your (and others) expectations why it comes to email.
- Unplanned – Tim Challies reviews a book about one woman’s journey from working at Planned Parenthood to becoming pro-life.
- What We Eat – Gloria Furman writes a convicting post that reminds us that just like we must tell kids what to eat (i.e. food, not crayons or boogers), we need to pay careful attention to what we’re digesting in our lives as well.
- More Than Unconditional Love – John Piper writes, “If you only hope for unconditional love from God, your hope is great, but too small.” Read the rest and be encouraged to hope for more.
- Changing Churches – Kevin DeYoung writes two posts: one about starting at a new church, and another about leaving your old one. Since very few people stay at one church their whole lives (even in the move isn’t for nefarious reasons), these are worth a read.
