The sports world has a historically fraught relationship with complexity. Like caramel on ice cream, opinions of athletes are often formed quickly and harden fast. “Look at his stride—-he’s got a hitch.” “She’s too slight—-won’t be able to get anywhere on the field.” “With that wingspan, he’ll be able to impose his will on...

[here’s a little bit!] All these people (i.e. Abraham, Noah) were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country...
What to Do If You Wake Up Feeling Fragile →
“There are mornings when I wake up feeling fragile. Vulnerable. It’s often vague. No single threat. No one weakness. Just an amorphous sense that something is going to go wrong and I will be responsible. It’s usually after a lot of criticism. Lots of expectations that have deadlines and that seem too big and too many.
As I look back over about 50 years of such periodic mornings, I am ...

If you had told me where I would now be one year ago today, I probably would have thrown a fit. But the past 4-5 months have been the most rich and thirst-quenching months of my life. Hah. I changchang praise the Lord for His intervening and providence – for His closing doors and sending me to a place I never thought would so quickly capture my heart.
Now once again I struggle with future...

3. Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears.
But drops of grief can ne’er repay The debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give my self away ‘Tis all that I can do.

sunday hymns
Go, then, earthly fame and treasure, Come disaster, scorn and pain In Thy service, pain is pleasure, With Thy favor, loss is gain I have called Thee Abba Father, I have stayed my heart on Thee Storms may howl, and clouds may gather; All must work for good to me.
Soul, then know they full salvation Rise o’er sin and fear and care Joy to find in every station, Something still to do...

Don’t Complicate the "Missionary Call" →
I was never called to be a missionary, nor was I drafted. I volunteered. No special call was needed. I chose to go; I wanted to go; I was compelled to go. And where I go is always determined by an open Bible and a stretched-out map of the regions where Christ is still unknown and un-praised!
I chuckle when I hear missionaries and pastors talk about “surrendering to the call” of ministry. I...

michellenose:
If I were to put my finger on one devastating sin today, it would not be the so-called women’s movement, but the lack of spiritual leadership by men at home and in the church. Satan has achieved an amazing tactical victory by disseminating the notion that the summons for male leadership is born of pride and fallenness, when in fact pride is precisely what prevents spiritual...
