A La Carte (May 5)

The Problem With Seeking God’s Will – Matt Papa: I have spent too much of my life, and my prayer life, asking for God to lead me into His “perfect will”. “God lead me”. “Guide me”. “Use me”. “Bless me”. While I know that God is a gracious, condescending God who meets us wherever we are, I something wonder if God has been up there saying…. “Um…yeah. I’m Your Shepherd. That’s what I do.”

Awakening – New Zealand was already on my list of places to see, but even more so after watching this.

Ask Anything – My favorite episodes of Dr. Mohler’s podcasts are the “Ask Anything” weekend edition. This weekend: 1) How should Christians respond to the claim that God made homosexuals the way they are? 2) Should parents teach their children to pray to Jesus or to the Father? 3) For whom did Christ die?

9 Things to Know About Prayer in the Bible – Joe Carter gives us a list.

Sibling Rivalry – “If we’re honest, there are times where we meet a brother or sister in Christ and don’t feel like being a brother or sister in Christ to them.” Very true.

Modern Hymns – Kristen Gilles has a Spotify list of modern hymns you may want to listen to.

  • Gods yes no not yet

    God’s Yes, No, or Not Yet

    God never mishandles a single prayer. His ‘yes,’ his ‘no,’ and his ‘not yet’ are all governed by perfect wisdom and aimed at his glory and our good.
