This week, I enjoyed
Singleness and searching for your "mythos" - Another bittersweet post by Ali. *sigh* I could read her all day.
How can I love seven billion neighbours? - part 1 and part 2 - Really helpful stuff from Tim Chester.
Reality "snapshot" of mission teams - A fascinating description of the good and bad of mission teams by Steve (see also 10 things to remember after a Summer mission trip). HT Justin Taylor.
I was encouraged by
Nine good purposes in our suffering - Rebecca shares some reflections on the purpose in suffering.
An ordinary podcast - Feeling ordinary? "God’s will for me, and indeed for most of us, is to be extraordinarily ordinary." Challies.
Jesus chooses and uses failures - Feeling like a failure? A beautiful post by Jon Bloom.
Concept of self - A helpful post from Rachael on self-image and beauty.
I was challenged by
A heart of hospitality - "We practice hospitality because we have first received hospitality." Sounds about right to me! From Nicole.
Wealth, privacy, relationships - Cathy talks about the link between wealth and community.
A passing thought on receiving criticism from Dane (HT Challies)
Darrin Patrick on being and building men -"When you become a leader...you plug your life into an amplifier and everyone hears it." "You have to have some guys who aren’t impressed with you. You need elders who tell you no." Shared by Jonathon Parnell.
and I'd now like to
watch this free online production of Hamlet that finally makes sense, says Justin Taylor
give to my kids - and read myself - this history of the whole world recommended by Justin Taylor
regularly read the The Journal of Biblical Counselling, now free online
check out the bookish blog Sarah's postcardsnaps (thanks Jenny)
read along with the series Gospel-centred Life: "This month is a little different for EQUIP bookclub as we’re looking at three books instead of one. While we’ll focus on Gospel-centred Life, we’ll also be road-testing Gospel-centred Family and having a brief look at Gospel-centred Marriage." Fantastic, short, very readable books. Bring it on!
