There’s No Growth without Death

“What do you want to change in your life? You want to become more committed, to lead a better devotional life, love more or totally change your lifestyle? Begin with what needs to die. There’s got to be a brutal death in your life for a godly life to appear. You must be willing to put off something so you can wear something else.”

Parenting is Gospel Ministry – Paul Tripp

Answering Kids’ Theology Questions – Joanna Kimbrel

“I want to shield my kids from the evil realities of sin and death, and it can feel easier to provide a sterilized response—or none at all—to their heaviest questions. But keeping our children in the dark is not protecting them. Telling our kids about death and judgment for sin can be uncomfortable, but they are sinners too, and they desperately need the gospel. To shield them from the truth about sin is to prevent them from hearing the good news of the one who gave His life to pay for it.”

The Persistent Widow – Michael Morris

Otherness – Jen Wilkin

What Jesus Sees (Even When Others Do Not) – Tim Challies

“He sees in us what nobody else sees and nobody else can see because he looks beyond who we are to what we will be. He sees who he will make us to be as we spend time with him, as we walk with him, as we follow in his footsteps.”

One secret to a light(er) heart – Emily p. freeman
