Things I Read

I've been reading Managing Your Households Well: How Family Leadership Trains You for Church Leadership, by Chap Bettis. Wonderful so far. I see myself buying a stack and giving them to men aspiring to eldership.

Things I Listened To

Have you heard of the Boswell and Papa album called Our God Will Go Before Us? I would love to sing "All My Boast is in Jesus” from it. Give it a listen! Also, Zari introduced my family to this wonderful song: “By the Savior's Power.” So good!

Things I Watched

My daughter asked me to watch the final episode of Rock the Block with her last night. Not my ordinary jam, but all my girls like decorating so...

Things I Thought

Studying Romans 6-8, I have been trying to understand the difference between law-driven sanctification and Spirit-driven sanctification. How easy is it for me to look to the law for help, instead of Christ!

Quotes to Ponder

"If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for." - Charles Spurgeon
