Because everyone loves a good story
If you’re anything like me, you may not realize how deeply you desire approval–from God and from others. This week I share some insights God gave me into my own heart and His Word about the need for (and source of) approval.
Are you driven by the inner compulsion to do more, try harder, and be better? Do you feel happiest when you’ve put everything in order? Does your happiness tend to hinge on a completed to-do list? In short, would you consider yourself a perfectionist? If you or a loved one (or a tolerated one) falls into this category, then you won’t want to miss this post.
If you’ve been eagerly awaiting an article about Indiana Jones, I’m afraid this week may leave you disappointed. That article is still in the works.
If, however, you’re in the mood for some encouragement, a short teaser trailer for the next post, and a beautiful song, then you’re in luck! I’ve got just what you’re looking for.
We’re told that knowledge is good. Knowledge is power. Knowledge is worth paying a bajillion dollars to attend a university. So is knowledge ultimate, or is there something even better? That’s the question I ponder in these (very short) musings.
“Sorry I missed your call. I was staring in horror at the screen, wondering why on earth you couldn’t just text me.”
Whether you’d be the one staring or the one calling, you’ve certainly noticed all the recent attention on “introvert awareness.” And that’s all well and good…unless it’s changing the Christian view of “one-anothering.” Want to know how God changed the heart of this thoroughbred introvert when it comes to reaching out? Read on, my friends. Read on.
With all the hype of Easter, it can be easy to let Good Friday slip by without much notice. This year, I’d encourage you to take a few moments with this short post and meditate on the beauty of God’s plan. We’ll look together at the last song Jesus sang before his crucifixion, and we’ll marvel at the prophetic power of this Psalm.
Martha accused Mary of wasting time, but Jesus disagreed. When we find ourselves serving God busily and resentfully, it may be time to revisit this story.
