Taking Irritability Seriously – Philip Ryken: “Most of us tend to think of irritability as a natural response to life’s little frustrations. We also tend not to worry too much about our irritability, although some Christians may perhaps be wise enough to make it a matter for prayer. When was the last time you asked the Lord to help you respond graciously to that special person who always annoys you?”

Child Sex Offenders – “This month is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. As fully 44% of sexual assault victims are under the age of 18, we hope this post can be beneficial for parents in protecting their children.” These are very helpful warnings!

Dads on the Way Home – This is a good word for dads. As you head home, “Consider what you’re bringing into your house this afternoon. Because you are bringing something…”

We All Need God – This is a beautiful testimony to the Lord’s grace in one man’s life.

Clean Your Inbox – Here are some pro tips on maintaining a clean inbox. If you don’t have some kind of a system yet, you should probably work on one!

Seventeen centuries later, we’re gathering again—this time in Istanbul—to remember that moment, rejoice in our shared confession, and renew our commitment to the gospel.
