A La Carte (April 22)

friday

May the Lord be with you and bless you on this fine day.

Shepherds Please Think, “Protect Well.” Please Stop Saying, “Suffer Well.”

Bob Kellemen explains by way of personal example why it’s so important for Christians to think about protecting those who are suffering (rather than simply telling them to suffer well).

When Good Things Spiritually Harm Our Kids

“We worry about so many things when it comes to this world we’re raising kids in. But the truth is that the things we consider the most positive activities in our kids’ lives are the very things that are most likely to draw them away from Christ. It all starts with the example that we set.”

Why Do New Believers Read Their Bible More and How We May Do the Same

“Have you ever noticed a common thread in every testimony? Upon being drawn to the Lord, almost every person reports an unquenchable hunger for the Lord’s Word.” And yet, so often “over time, both the yearning and dedication to the Lord abate.” This article wonders why that is and offers some ways to rekindle that desire.
