Question from Henri Nouwen that are good spiritual practice:

Did I offer peace today?
Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing?
Did I let go of my anger and resentment?
Did I forgive?
Did I love?

These are the real questions.

Deconstruction is an untangling.

It’s a desperate attempt to untangle God from Mark Driscoll. Matt Chandler. Dave Ramsey. Piper and Dobson.

The common thread is men who would say, “this isn’t my opinion. It’s Gods. Take it up with Him.”

And now we are.

Sisters, a reminder:

When you use your leadership gifts, you’re not being proud, attention-seeking, or overly ambitious.

You are being a good steward. When you use your gifts for the glory of God, you are teaching others to do the same. You are managing a Kingdom resource well.

[Sharon Hodde Miller @SHoddeMiller]
