A La Carte (October 11)

tuesday

Blessings to you on this fine day!

The fruit of giving out a few books

I love few things more than giving away books, so this article resonated with me.

Will My Spouse Be My Best Friend in Heaven?

John Piper answers this question in his latest Ask Pastor John.

Flashback: Longing for What’s Second Best

While we can and should pray for those things we long for, we should always pray that what we long for would be according to God’s will.
