Elizabeth Elliot – One of the most influential Christian women of the 20th century, Elisabeth Elliot, has died. (You may also enjoy John Piper’s reflections.)

The Most Reviled Communication Experience Ever – That’s the thing about email: “We’ve let it seep into every nook and cranny of our lives, and we resent its presence. But we also crave it.” (Note: Language warning)

Grinstead – If you enjoy alternate takes on favorite hymns you might appreciate this album by Grinstead.

The Real Reasons – “Most people when asked about their Bible reading say: I have been really busy. This may be the truth; people are very busy. However, it is not the reason. I think we can distinguish between realities and reasons.”

The Witch of Endor – TGC continues their series looking at tricky parts of the Bible with an examination of the strange story of the witch of Endor.

Private Prayer – “The applause of other people is a poor substitute with the intimacy of a relationship with the Father who cares, and who promises to reward.”

Reissig

The purpose of the home is to be a place of refuge, grace, and productivity—not a platform for me to prove what a great homemaker I am.
