Here are some good reads, and a few of my own thoughts below. As usual! It’s why I call it links and bullets!
WEEKLY LINKS
LINK OF THE WEEK
–Here is what Congressman Akin SHOULD have said. This is a thorough defense of what it means to be pro-life and worth the read.
THE CHRISTIAN FAITH
–I referenced this article in yesterday’s sermon. I hope this challenges all Christians.
–Why the greatest suffering is better than the smallest sin. Hmmmmm…
–PARENTS: Gratefulness can help fight against teen depression. AND . . . how to encourage a good work ethic in your kids.
–ANGER: How righteous anger should look (and how it shouldn’t).
MISCELLANEOUS
—Here’s a great article about waiting in line. Really, this is a fascinating read.
—Wouldn’t you rather the guys at the end of the entrance ramps do this?
BULLET THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
- Are you afraid of evangelism? Why? Be bold, God will empower you.
- I am praying today for lots of people I know are struggling.
- Financial tip of the day (random, I know): Treat $10 like it’s a lot of money, no matter how much you make.
- It has been a year of waiting, and the waiting only continues!
- Tonight is open house for the kids at school. Fourth grade and first grade respectively start on Wednesday!
- What a trade over the weekend in baseball. Long term winners: Boston. Short term winners: L.A. The Dodgers are going to despise those contracts in a few years or maybe they just don’t care about how much they’re spending.
- Say what you want about this presidential election, but the two ideologies are very far apart.
- Are you pro-life? To what extent do you believe in the rights of the unborn?
- Really enjoyed having some time to spend with David at the Yankees-Indians game last Friday night. Go Yankees!
- Does your view of making disciples mainly revolve around someone else doing it? Or being paid to do it? How can YOU make a disciple and help point people to Christ?
