Flashback: Do you consider that sometimes singing is the most important way you will serve others during any given worship service? ...God has designed singing to function in this way, to be one of the many “one another” ministries.

I asked dads what they actually want for Father's Day. The answer was clear: presence matters more than presents—but a few books, good coffee, heartfelt letters, and multitools are nice as well. https://t.co/s74SYvonrC

Flashback: We always do well to pray that God would reveal what we need to know to be perfectly conformed to the image of his Son, to pray that he would let us see ourselves through his eyes, to instruct us inwardly or outwardly.

While I am committed to reading and reviewing Christian books, I also enjoy reading a steady diet of books published for the general market. Though my interests lean toward history, I do enjoy other topics as well. Here are a few of the titles I’ve enjoyed over the past couple of months. https://t.co/w8stXFbf6W

Flashback: A distinctly Christian wife is a wife who has professed faith in Jesus Christ and then allowed her mind and heart to dwell on the relationship of Christ to his church. She is a wife who has seen that her submission to her husband is not separate from, but part of, her submission to Jesus Christ.

Flashback: Perhaps God has kept secret from our eyes the salvation of some of his people. Perhaps he called them to himself after we lost track of them—we assumed their hardened rebellion against Christ continued indefinitely, while only God knows it eventually gave way to the sweetest submission.

Flashback: I’d like to offer three ways in which pastors may be tempted to sin against the people they are called to serve. We might consider these “respectable sins,” to borrow Jerry Bridges’ term—sins we can easily dress up as virtues.
