- God’s Patience – An encouraging reminder about the graciousness and patience God showed towards the Israelites, and continues to show to us.
- A Greater Perspective – “For his children, God takes all things, including genuinely evil things – sickness, injustice, sin, hurt, divorce, depression, accidents, hunger, pain, poverty – and triumphs over them, causing them to bring us good. He takes poison and transforms it into a cure. He takes a crucifixion and transforms it into salvation for multitudes.”
- For His Glory – “It is not for us to look at another person’s success and say, ‘Why not me?’ Nor is it for us to look at our own suffering and say, ‘Why me?’ Instead, it is for us to simply say, ‘Lord, how can I best glorify You with my life.'”
- Cathedrals & Catacombs – As Dr. Moore explains, sometimes we as Christians “forget the paradoxical grace of God in giving us a legacy of both cathedrals and catacombs.”
- Seven “Deadly Sins” Revisited – While all sins are worthy of death (Rom 6:23) and not only these seven, this is an tongue-in-cheek and clever reminder of the modern way some sins take root in our lives.
- I Chose to Sin – “If I sin today—when I sin today—it is not because I had to or because anyone forced me to, but only because I chose to. The sins I commit between the moment I pen these words and the time I fall asleep will be nothing less than acts of willful rebellion against God. They are not mistakes, they are not blunders, they are not nothing; they are acts of rebellion against my Creator and King.”
- Summers Are For…. – A beautiful post about making sure we are seeking Christ this summer.
- Unbelieving Family Members – Jon Bloom writes “[t]he story of Jesus’ brothers can actually give us hope for our loved ones. At the time his brothers claimed that Jesus was “out of his mind” (Mark 3:21), it must have appeared very unlikely that they would ever become his disciples. But eventually they did! And not only followers, but leaders and martyrs in the early church.”
- Summer Road Trip Fun – This seems like a much better idea that having the kids stare at video game consoles during the long summer road trips. Justin Taylor provides a list of family-friendly dramatized audiobooks for your consideration.
- Faith Enough to Ask – In this powerful post Kevin DeYoung writes “[f]aith is a humble confidence that Christ can do whatever he wills and will do whatever he promises. Which means that if we are people of faith we will ask Christ to do more than we dare to think possible.” Read this for a convicting reminder that our prayers should be filled with boldness and confidence.
