Who’s Hot in Hollywood? – God is, according to The Globe and Mail. It looks at a bunch of movies including a new one: Moms’ Night Out.

How Does God Get Your Attention? – How does God get people’s attention? How does he get your attention?

Prayer in the Life of Jesus – Mark Dever focuses some attention on Jesus’ prayer life.

Signs Your Child Is Not Saved – This is serious and sobering: 5 signs your child may not be saved.

Every Woman a Mother – I appreciate this perspective from Boundless. “Here’s the thing: Motherhood was never about choice to begin with. It was never intended as a calling for some and not for others. Yes, Mrs. Scott, womanhood is motherhood. It always was. But not how we’ve been defining it.”

How a Dad Loves a Prodigal – “My dad and I are really close. In fact, we’re so close that I worked for him doing all of his bookkeeping for the year before my twins were born.

  • Will You Be a Pillar?

    How do we lead in a culture shaped by performance, individualism, and platform? Platforms to Pillars by cultural commentator Mark Sayers offers a biblical alternative to the platform mentality that dominates our society.
