Here are some thought-provoking posts discovered this week:
God's Amazing Rescue Out of War-Torn Israel. Amazing is right. Debbie shares how her friends in Israel were able to get out with some unusual help.
A More Spontaneous and Genuine Evangelism, HT to Challies. I especially like the second point.
How to Prevent a Spiritually Dry December. "Busy days mean our schedules get squeezed. Work and school hours don't change, so this means there's a competition for our time at the margins. And, if you've been a Christian for any length of time, you know that devotional time is often a casualty in this battle."
I'm Adopted, HT to Challies.. "For me, those heavy questions needed to be asked, then answered, before I would be able to see my adoption for the gift it is."
Am I a Good Mom? HT to Challies. "Every day, I am faced with opportunities to fail or succeed but there is no one other than my three kids under three to see. For the last three years, I have constantly strived to be the best and most God-honoring mother I can be. In my striving, I have never, ever felt more like a failure."
Before You Go On the Attack. "A classic strategy in times of warfare is to dehumanize the enemy. No sooner has a conflict broken out than the two sides begin to refer to one another as animals rather than men, as mere creatures rather than human beings." I had been thinking of writing a post along these lines: now I don't have to.
Seek, as a plain duty, to cultivate a buoyant,
joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life.
