The Problem With Seeking God’s Will – Matt Papa: I have spent too much of my life, and my prayer life, asking for God to lead me into His “perfect will”. “God lead me”. “Guide me”. “Use me”. “Bless me”. While I know that God is a gracious, condescending God who meets us wherever we are, I something wonder if God has been up there saying…. “Um…yeah. I’m Your Shepherd. That’s what I do.”

Awakening – New Zealand was already on my list of places to see, but even more so after watching this.

Ask Anything – My favorite episodes of Dr. Mohler’s podcasts are the “Ask Anything” weekend edition.

9 Things to Know About Prayer in the Bible – Joe Carter gives us a list.

Modern Hymns – Kristen Gilles has a Spotify list of modern hymns you may want to listen to.

    The Continental Divide of Doctrine

    A journey into the Rocky Mountains of Western Canada brought me to Vermilion Pass, a single point that divides two national parks and two provinces. It also divides two watersheds, for it stands upon the continental divide. To one side of this spot all waters flow west and eventually find their way to the vast…

    Why You Should Just Be Honest With God

    It is no great feat to convince another person of a lie. Because other people cannot see our inner selves, they are easily deceived. But as we pray to God, we pray to one who knows our innermost thoughts, our innermost desires, our innermost longings. We pray to one who knows us far better than…
