I have a fairly short list of good reads to share with you this week:
In What Way Is Jesus the Way? "Jesus is the Way to God. You can't get there by being kind, by being the church lady with all the casseroles, or even by teaching Sunday school for fifty years (as good as all those things are!) He is the way because he is also the truth and the life."
One of the Most Urgent Biblical Commands for Our Day. "One of the most urgent biblical commands for our day—and perhaps for any day—is to speak the truth in love. Different people at different times tend to overemphasize one of the two factors and underemphasize the other so that some lean away from truth while others lean away from love. But the Lord expects that we will do both without competition or contradiction."
Valiant and Virtuous: Celebrating Single Women of the Bible. "Singleness can be a challenging yet rewarding season in life. Society often emphasizes marriage and relationships, and navigating this path can sometimes feel isolating. However, the Bible offers a powerful message of hope and purpose for single Christian women."
In flight, HT to Challies. "We have a long flight ahead. Fourteen hours or so. Beforehand, I've asked for a heart attentive to His prompting. And for willing availability, boldness to share the gospel. It's not my first thought on airplanes lately, to be honest. I'd rather chill in my own little world. Enjoy the extended "pause" from daily tasks. But as he's seated, I pray for wisdom. To listen and obey."
The Introvert, HT to Challies.. "We live in a noisy world, do we not? Deafening, in fact. A chaotic culture with throngs of people highly uncomfortable with silence. It is considered prestigious to fill up one's time indiscriminately, often to the neglect of one's soul."
"The vulgarity of the cross is the vulgarity of the sin that erected it---but the cross flames with light, the light of the glory of the grace of God, Who took sin into His own heart and cancelled it by the shedding of blood." —G. Campbell Morgan
