Here's some of the good blogging that particularly resonated with me this week:
The One Thing We All Need Right Now. "Never mind for a minute about platforms and hashtags, soap boxes and sides, movements and slogans. There's really only one solution, one remedy, one antidote to the sickness that plagues our world today."
Fighting for Faith When Doubts Abound, HT to Challies. "If my child is in danger, I would do whatever I could to rescue him or protect him from it. If I were to sit idly by and do nothing, I certainly wouldn't be a very good and loving parent. But I've learned that I too often come to conclusions about who God is by interpreting a circumstance through the limited understanding of my humanity."
A Hope-Filled Message for the Tired, Worn, and Overwhelmed. "It's been a tough season, hasn't it? I don't know your specifics, but the effect those circumstances are having on your heart, body and mind? I think I can make some experience-informed guesses about that, and here's what I want to say about it. Don't equate how you feel today with your worth, your usefulness, your attractiveness or your future fruit-bearing potential."
Contentment Doesn't Mean You Must Stay in the Same Circumstance Forever, HT to Challies. I wondered about this in the past: if we're to be content in all things, should we not try to change our circumstances? This gives a valid answer.
Treasures in Jars of Clay, HT to Challies. "As a missionary, I often feel like family members, friends, and supporters put us on a pedestal. That my sacrifice and calling as a missionary in Uganda are far beyond what any "normal" Christian would be able to manage. 2 Corinthians 4 gives a beautiful description of reality though. I am only a clay jar. A plain, fragile clay jar."
Rescuing Abraham, HT to Challies. A different and interesting take on the two situations in which Abraham said Sarah was his sister rather than his wife.
Three Powerful Reasons You Should Tell Your Story. "The way you live your days will be, when all is said and done, the sum total of your story. Your story puts the gospel in context, demonstrates God's generosity, and proves His faithfulness."
The quote above is from Be Exultant (Psalms 90-150): Praising God for His Mighty Works by Warren W. Wiersbe, p. 126.
