weekend

May you know God’s sweetest blessings this weekend.

I want to extend my gratitude to TMAI for sponsoring the blog this week. I encourage you to get your free devotional today!

There is a very substantial list of Kindle deals today. There’s also a long list of general market history books.

(Yesterday on the blog: Devotionals I Recommend for a New Year)

The Fellowship of the Ring is the Most Important Movie of My Lifetime

Samuel James explains what The Fellowship of the Ring meant to him and to an entire generation.

The Night Song (feat. Colin Buchanan)

I love this new song from CityAlight. “In the darkness God will keep me / He will stay and never sleep / In the darkness God is brighter / Though the night is long and deep.”

Consider the Birds

This is a hobby I wanted to get into and maybe someday still will. “Being a birdwatcher is actually a lot like being a Christian. You get the same reactions from people: ‘Oh okay, well, whatever makes you happy …’ and they think you just hang out with old people all the time.”

Omnirationality and Divine Providence

The day of judgment will show that one of the greatest links in drawing some souls to God, has been the intercessory prayer of friends.

—J.C. Ryle

    How To Lead Your Family

    It’s no easy task to lead a family. It’s no small responsibility a man accepts when he gets married and begins a family with his wife. It is not an easy task, but it is a necessary one. And by God’s grace, it can be a joyful, fulfilling, and successful one. How To Lead Your…
