Matters Too Important for Social Media

So much of today’s discord comes down to this: “Some matters are so weighty or so important that they are hindered by being batted around on social media.” It’s worth considering this…

The Existence of Love Means God is Real

Jared Wilson: “It’s in religion generally that we learn that love comes from somewhere.

Resources for Memorizing Scripture

10 Fun Facts About Aramaic

I’m not sure that these facts qualify as “fun,” but I definitely found them interesting.

Blindness to Kindness

I’ve only dabbled in John Piper’s Providence, but very much enjoyed this excerpt. “The world and even thousands of Christians give no praise and thanks to God for millions of daily, life-sustaining providences because they do not see the world as the theater of God’s wonders.”

Flashback: What If Marriage Isn’t Making Me As Holy As I Had Hoped?

Unceasing, incessant prayer is essential to the vitality of a believer’s relationship to the Lord and his ability to function in the world.

—John MacArthur

    God’s character is the essence of virtue. The heart of virtue is to know the Lord and to become like him, as a child resembles her father. That is the goal, privilege, and destiny of the redeemed. #Sponsored

  • When God Plants an Acorn

    When God Plants an Acorn, He Means an Oak

    We stood together on the crest of a hill, a gentle breeze rustling the meadow around our feet. The fields ran gently downward until they met a creek that gurgled happily in its course.
