Kay Arthur (1933–2025): The Woman Who Taught Me to Study the Bible
Melissa Kruger expresses gratitude for the life and legacy of Kay Arthur. “I read the news of Kay’s passing with a profound sense of both grief and gratitude. I’m so thankful for her faithful love of the Scriptures that she shared with so many.”
Overcoming Fear in the Waiting Room
“About two hours ago, a huddle of nurses and surgeons whisked my daughter away to the operating room, leaving my husband and me to watch her disappear down the corridor. We made our way to the waiting room, and we’re sitting there now.” Jen writes in real-time as her daughter undergoes surgery.
Be Drunk With Love?
In Song of Solomon we read, “Be drunk with love.” It’s an interesting image and J.A. Medders looks at it in this article.
Is There a Future for Church Grandpas and Grandmas?
Trevin writes about the important role of church grandpas and grandmas. “The church grandma wasn’t a super-reader in the Dostoevsky or Dickens sense, but she was a super-reader of the Bible. ‘They really did begin their day and end their day in the Word,’ Brad says, ‘in leisurely, patient, quiet time in the presence of God as he made himself manifest in the Scriptures to them.’”
Do You See God?
Mark Jones: “Do you see God? Few questions are more important in the life of the Christian, both now and for the satisfaction of our souls forever. Just as one must ask (and answer), ‘What must I do to be saved?’ one must also ask (and answer), ‘How can I see God?’”
Flashback: The Freedom of Embracing My Weaknesses
God has gifted me in some ways, but not others. He has provided certain opportunities but denied many more. As important as it has been to learn who God has made me to be has been learning, admitting, and embracing who he has not made me to be.
Surround yourself with people who feed your soul, not your ego.
—B.J. Thompson
