There were several excellent posts this week! How seared is our nation’s conscience that she tolerates this cruelty? – “If you have been paying attention to the abortion debate in America at all, none of this will be surprising to you. The pro-choice position excludes the unborn from the human community. It gives no consideration…
A few articles and a few highly recommended books (to read to your kids!) this week. WALSH: You Can’t Give A Lethal Injection To Criminals In New York But You Can Give It To Infants – “Speaking of lethal injection, in case you haven’t yet grasped how twisted this law is, consider that capital…
I’ll be a student until the day I die, and I’m thankful for the many teachers to learn from. I pass some of the best from this week off to you! Six Reasons Why Some Members Resist Church Growth – “Growth brings new members to ministries, groups, and church social functions. Leadership may shift…
I’m reading through Isaiah this Advent with Tony Reinke and others (join us if you want!). The other morning, I was moved when I read Isaiah’s words from Isaiah 6. I could relate to his story, on a much smaller scale. At 15, my cry was similar to Isaiah’s: “Woe is me! For I am…
I’m a bit of a resource geek. I want to be a lifelong learner, one who sets her face toward wisdom (Pr. 17:24), listens to wisdom (Pr. 13:14), increases in wisdom (Pr. 9:9), and much more! And, as each of these Proverbs suggest, a primary source for growing is through listening to wise people, both near…
It’s been said, “Good leaders are good readers,” and I agree. To read is to learn. And in order for people to learn from us, we must first be learners (and from sources other than books, I might add). And, while deserving of another blog post, I’ll insert that I also believe there is great…
I love learning! I want to keep my mind sharp, learn new things, be called higher, and be sharpened by other believers. I’ve found podcasts to be one helpful tool in this endeavor, and thought I’d pass them on in hopes that they will serve you, too. I have a podcast app on my phone…
On November 2 of last year, my dad passed from this world after a short bout (a little less than 3 months from diagnosis) with Stage IV brain cancer. I wrote the following in January, and initially shared it with a few friends. Several of them encouraged me to post it publicly. They found it…
Recently, as I rounded the corner on the last mile of my run, I set my face like flint toward the finish and breathed out a prayer for endurance. I also picked up my pace. I was starting my tenth mile, and though tired and ready to be done, no thought was given to quitting….
It’s very common to hear Christians talk about things being “practical” or “spiritual.” Taking care of practical details such as paying for something, is often not thought to be related to the things of the Spirit. I think we must obliterate these false dichotomies and gain understanding that every aspect of “practical” life plays a…
In many ways there are still places in my life where there are disconnects. What I say I believe about God can look very different from what it looks like I believe about Him. For example, it’s easy to say that I believe the Lord is All-Sufficient, and then I turn around and become exasperated with…
I’m a bookworm at heart. There are few things in life that are more enjoyable to me than a really good book. I’m also terribly picky when it comes to the literature I consume. I want high quality, pure, worthwhile reading material. I love to read, but I don’t want to waste my life doing…
