So Little of the Bible – Al Mohler writes about why so many Christians hear so little of the Bible in their churches. Be warned: “The biblical formula is clear: the neglect of the Word can only lead to disaster, disobedience, and death. God rescues his church from error, preserves his church in truth, and propels his church in witness only by his Word—not by congregational self-study.”

Keep Your Kids From Running – There is lots of great parenting counsel here from Erik Raymond.

Offer Advice Very Carefully – This is a good article from Ed Welch; he tells you why you need to be careful in giving advice.

Peace in the Midst of Regrets – “It started with a phone call. I sat down on my bed, prepared for a typical midday chat with my husband. I couldn’t have been more wrong. New management had taken over. His position was being eliminated. He had a few loose ends to wrap up in the next few days, then his job would be over. I experienced a myriad of emotions in those next few seconds—anger, sadness, a white-hot flame of terror—but the emotion I remember most is regret.”

Grumpiness – Paul Miller on the cure for a cranky soul.

A Culture of Feedback – Here, from Eric Geiger, are six ways to create a culture of feedback.

    Amazon’s annual Prime Day deals are here, and for those of us who use Amazon anyway, it’s a time to get some deals. You’ll find items on sale across all categories. Of course, my interest is in books and, thankfully, there are lots of great deals to be had (in printed, not Kindle editions).
