Though I am way behind on my blog reading once again due to a busy week, I still came across some good reads I wanted to share with you.
Why Don't I Care? Steps to Overcoming Spiritual Apathy, HT to The Story Warren. "One of the most frustrating parts of my life is that I'm not as passionate about God as I should be. I imagine many Christians feel similarly. There are some, however, for whom this feeling goes deep and lasts long."
Strengths, Weaknesses, Warts, and All. "Here's what she knew, and I do too: We all have done bad things, experienced bad things and had bad things done to us. But God uses all those things to help others if we let Him."
God's Healing: Kintsugi in Practice. "It literally takes brokenness and turns it into beauty, and it sees the brokenness not as something to hide, but as something to value as part of the object's history. As I looked into Kintsugi, I discovered many similarities with God's healing work."
Prayer That Pleases God. "We pray. We pray because God tell us to. We pray because we need to. We pray because prayer matters. But do we pray with confidence that God is pleased with our praying? Do we pray with confidence that God is pleased with our praying even when he does not grant our petitions?"
Dishes and Divorce: Why Little Things Can Lead to a Breakup. "How do couples come to a place where something as small as a plate on the counter has them contemplating divorce? I believe it comes down to one basic reality: the little things either communicate love, or they don't."
Never Forget! "The book of Deuteronomy contains Moses' words to the Israelites as they are on the verge of entering the Promised Land, and one message comes across loud and clear: Don't forget!"
Context Matters: The Whole Armor of God. "Context matters. If we learn to read the Bible for what it is—and not simply as a collection of vibrant metaphors for vague spiritual truths—we'll discover that some of our most familiar passages may have far more usefulness than we'd previously assumed."
