Why Do We Work Hard at Our Work?
“If we are going to spend this much time at work, shouldn’t we have a reason for doing so beyond the accumulation of money?

4 Reasons to Remember Your Creator in Your Youth
David Murray lays down the challenge. “As it’s especially in our youth that we are most inclined (determined?) to forget our Creator, it’s especially in these years that we must work to remember our Creator (Ecc.12:1). Remember that He made you, that He provides for you, that He cares for you, that He watches you, that He controls you; and remember that He can save you too. That’s a lot to remember, but it’s much easier to start memorizing when we are young!”

I thank you for the ways that You are sanctifying me through motherhood and for the never-ending grace and patience You have for me as Your own child.”
12 Letters That Didn’t Make the Alphabet
“You know the alphabet. It’s one of the first things you’re taught in school. But did you know that they’re not teaching you all of the alphabet? There are quite a few letters we tossed aside as our language grew, and you probably never even knew they existed.”
Flashback: 3 Types of Fool
The apostles were anything but fools, but they were ready to be seen as fools and treated as fools.
You will definitely have trouble seeing the glory of penal substitution if you have trouble admitting you’re a wrath-deserving sinner in need of atonement.
