Here are some of the good reads discovered this week:
Remember His Faithfulness. "When we look back at what God has done in the past, He fills us with hope for today and the days to come."
Three Reasons Christians Should Oppose Abortion, HT to Challies. "We live in a highly charged political environment, and many Christians view abortion as more of a political issue than a theological and spiritual issue. This perspective often leads to prioritizing political solutions even at the expense of theological truth and spiritual power."
Listening Well to Domestic Abuse Survivors, HT to Challies. "Domestic abuse (DA) is likely the most complex and difficult problem most counselors will ever face. Perhaps one reason for this is that these issues can be extremely counterintuitive."
An Ordinary, Everyday Life, HT to Challies. We're "Bought by His death and resurrection, yes. But also by His everyday, ordinary, sinless life."
Lead Your Heart, HT to Challies. "We are to incline our hearts to God. I'm not sure if you know this, but your heart will not naturally incline itself that direction. We must posture our hearts towards God. And we must cry out to God for this inclination. Just as the Psalmist prays, 'Incline my heart to your testimonies'" (Psa 119:36)."
Is 'Gentle Parenting' Biblical? HT to Challies. "If gentle parenting were just a mood board for solving parenting difficulties in nonconfrontational ways, I'd have nothing to say against it. But when you dig more deeply into the underlying concepts of gentle parenting, you find at least two that stand opposed to the Bible's teaching about parenting."
Confessions of a Secretly Introverted Mom, HT to The Story Warren.
Our winters shall not frown for ever; summer shall soon smile. The tide will not eternally ebb out; the floods retrace their march. The night shall not hang its darkness for ever over our souls; the sun shall yet arise with healing beneath his wings. – 'The Lord turned again to the captivity of Job.' Our sorrows shall have an end when God has gotten his end in them.
---C. H. Spurgeon
