I have not been online much this week with all the family here. But I did come across a few good articles.
A Liturgy for When the House Feels Too Full of Children. Lovely poem for an overwhelmed parent.
A Home Is Not Our Hope: Resting in the Promise of a Place to Belong. "All of this moving has often left me longing for a home. Our home. A place we know and where we belong. A place with the perfect view from our many windows, with solid construction, a clean (mold-free) HVAC, and a beautiful piece of wooded land outside. Of course, we have no idea what settling down might look like, but all of these transitions stir in us a desire to have a home that is ours."
Legalism, License, and the Tightrope of Bible Application. "Legalism, License, and the Tightrope of Bible Application. "Sometimes people warn of the danger of creating behavioral rules to either attain or maintain God's favor. And at other times, people warn of cheap grace, where the gospel's freedom is misunderstood to mean repentance is unnecessary. The tug-of-war between these perspectives may cause Bible application to feel like crossing a lava pit on a tightrope. Both sets of warnings are on to something; the dangers on either side are real. And both sets of dangers may have the same solution: holding fast to the main points of biblical texts."
