Every day I put together a list of six articles for you to enjoy. Every now and again I think the list is particularly strong. And, as it happens, today is one of those days. We are spoiled by so much good writing!
We are also spoiled to have access to so many great Kindle deals.

Ice, Wind, and Unanswered Prayers
“The passage from frozen deadness to free-flowing water is different each year. Some years it is a slow, gradual, barely-noticeable transition as more and more glades form and join together to become open runways of moving water. Other years, it’s much more dramatic as the ice creaks and groans, often shaking our house as it shifts. Then, out of nowhere, a vast flow of ice from up river charges, jolts, and rips winter’s hold.”
Getting to Stop by Woods on a Snowy Evening
“This winter I was literally stopped in my tracks, in the woods, on a snowy evening, by mitral valve disease and found myself slowed down from my usual 45-year-old pace of classroom music teaching. At first this seemed like a hardship to me, something I would have to endure. I’d have to drop some calendared events, and I’d have to wind down my running activities.”
What Is the Best Analogy to Explain the Trinity? (Video)
Does this video about the Trinity mean SBTS is going back to posting regular short-form videos from its professors? Here’s hoping!
Was It All a Waste?
Sylvia reflects on those times we deal with failure or rejection.
Prepping for the Impending Apocalypse
Justin considers preppers and the most important set of skills that may serve in the impending apocalypse.
Bible Translation and AI
Here’s an issue I expect we will hear a lot more about in the days to come: the role of AI in Bible translation. “One of the most important aspects of any translation project is the Godly lives of the translation team demonstrating the reality and relevance of the message long before the words emerge from the printer. As one African church leader put it, ‘we want to see the Holy Spirit in the lives of the translators long before we see the words Holy Spirit on the page’.”
Flashback: I Feel I Think I Believe
It is not wrong to feel, but it is not enough. Feelings will not sustain us when the world turns against us. Feelings will not sustain us when enemies rise up to oppose our faith.
Prayer is never about asking God to submit his awesome power to your will and plan; prayer is an act of personal submission to the always-right will of God.
—Paul David Tripp
