The Bright Sadness of Ben Sasse
Lots of people have been benefiting from a couple of recent interviews with Ben Sasse, one of which is with his good friend Michael Horton. Well worth watching! “Death is a wicked thief, it’s an enemy, but it’s pretty great that it’s the last enemy.

Death is the last enemy.”

Godly Motherhood and Pinterest Dreams
“A beautiful woman with perfectly windswept hair holds the hand of a tan, pudgy toddler. On the beach in swimsuit bottoms, with cellulite-free legs and a sweatshirt that looks effortless yet classic all at once, the mother looks on adoringly as the sun sets slowly behind her. The toddler has salty curls and a gap-tooth smile, in a diaper that somehow has not absorbed any sea water. It’s a photo unlike any beach day I’ve had with my children.”
The Only Way Out Is Through
Marc Sims: “Every difficulty presents a choice: out or through. School gets hard. Work gets hard. Training gets hard. Holding to your convictions gets hard. Marriage gets hard. Friendship gets hard. Church gets hard. Parenting gets hard. And, in different ways, you will be asked (by yourself or by others): out or through?”
What Else Does God Name?

Waiting Is the Hardest Part
John Piper: “This is the great challenge of the Christian life: God’s delays, God’s timing. God’s timing is almost never our timing. Therein lies the great test of our faith for all of us, isn’t it? How long, O Lord? How long? Fifteen times in the Psalms, we hear the cry ‘How long, O Lord?’ because God is God and we’re not.”
Flashback: Daddy, I Need You
Our God is most present just when he is most needed—ever ready and ever eager to offer his sweet comfort. His compassion—his wondrous fatherly compassion—draws him near to us when we so desperately need his help.
Beware of a murmuring spirit. We may complain to God, but we must not complain of God. We should resign all to His hand. We must not only submit, we must acquiesce.
—William Plumer
