What’s Your Budget For Staying Spiritually Healthy?

This is a great question!

What Should Be One of My Chief Aims at Church?

It’s a good question with a simple answer.

The Other Sister

“As many as 700,000 adults in the U.S. with a disability like autism live with parents or another family member who’s at least 60 years old. What happens when those caregivers are gone? One sibling confronts her past and likely future.”

Lonely for a Friend?

Christine Hoover continues to write about friendship and to do so well. “When we hold an ideal of friendship in our minds–who it will be, what they will be like–we hold a standard above the heads of real women God has placed in our lives, and then we wonder why we’re constantly disappointed and bitterly lonely.”

Befriend Those with Disabilities and Special Needs

And while on the subject of friendship, here’s a great challenge from Scott Sauls.

This Day in 1751. 265 years ago today hymnwriter and author of ‘The Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul,’ Philip Doddridge, died. This book led William Wilberforce and many others to Christ. *

This video explores why we live where we live and points out the differences between North America and Europe.

You will never know the fullness of Christ until you know the emptiness of everything else.

—C.H. Spurgeon
