Grace and peace to you all! The Lord bless you and keep you all. So thankful to be able to “help out” in the service yesterday by doing the pastoral prayer and closing. I am looking forward to preaching this Sunday.
THIS IS BIG: the Praying Life event on August 16-17th here at our church. You need to register this week so we can order your materials and book. This will help you grow in your prayer life in very practical ways. Here's the link.
When Your Mind Gets Stuck … and mine often does.
Yet Another Champion for Cultural Christianity … Elon Musk! And he needs to be born-again. [This is what Josh referred to yesterday in his sermon.]
When Love Wanes … the marriage covenant remains. Staying married is not about staying in love — it's about keeping your promise/vows/covenant.
When God Doesn't Give His Beloved Sleep … I totally get this. I do the same thing.
Be Vexed … be very vexed. I thought this was a great essay on the “Last Supper” debacle from the Olympics.
“You don’t need to be born again to want Jesus to fix your life. You do need to be born again to want Jesus to be Lord of your life.” [Kevin DeYoung]
