I’m praying for you today, America. The rest of the world is watching and waiting. In victory or triumph, in joy or sorrow, let the gospel shine!
Today’s Kindle deals includes a pretty good-sized list: Creature of the Word by Matt Chandler, Beat God to the Punch and Manhood Restored by Eric Mason, When Missions Shapes the Mission by David Horner, Bible Doctrine by Wayne Grudem, Truth Matters and Truth in a Culture of Doubt by Andreas Kostenberger, and more.
CBD is having a big pre-Black Friday sale and there are some good deals to be had. I’ll leave you sort through it all, but you’ll find Bibles, study Bibles, books by favorite authors, and so on. There’s also a lot of really bad books, so caveat emptor.

Sunday Isn’t Enough
Joe Thorn makes an appeal for small group meetings. “As important as this sacred gathering is to the health of the local church, it alone is not enough. Other gatherings are necessary. The people of God must meet together in smaller numbers to carry out the will of God in each others’ lives.”
The Humbled Mother
Parenting does have its ways of humbling us, doesn’t it?
