Gospel Affection – Joe Thorn offers 10 practical ways to show love to one another in the church. “Consider what follows a simple encouragement to press into a life of love in practical ways. A life God has called us to, saved us for, and modeled for us.”

The Death of Thomas Cramner – Do yourself a favor and read this brief account of the death of Thomas Cramner.

The Art of Being Ungrateful – You are probably already plenty good at being ungrateful, but if you want more help, Melissa’s offering it.
