Don't Create a New Law for Yourself by Tullian... →
Extract:
This is super important because the biggest lie about grace that Satan wants the church to buy is the idea that grace is dangerous and therefore needs to be “kept it in check.” By believing this we not only prove we don’t understand grace, but we violate gospel advancement in our lives and in the church. A “yes, grace…but” disposition is the kind of fearful posture that keeps...

Someone to be praying for...
This is Malak. She is a Christian in a family of devout muslims. Here is her testimony.
Pray for her that she will find all the joy and strength she needs in Christ. Pray for her family that the Spirit will come to them and bring them a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ also!
It would be cool to follow her also so you can keep up with her struggles and pray for her specific needs.

All the books available to bloggers on Booksneeze.com right now are ones I have read. Of course it is a sum total of one, being Outlive Your Life by Max Lucado.
But that isn’t a problem! I am reading Overcoming Sin and Temptation, which is a compilation of 3 three classics by John Owen, the Puritan theologian.

In this book, Dr. David Jeremiah gives practical and biblical advice to living in the world. Using ten points through ten chapters, Dr. Jeremiah discusses topics ranging from finding our calm in Jesus, setting your mind on Christ to staying connected with the church. Throughout he uses frequent biblical references and stays centered on the most important thing, Jesus Christ.
I must admit,...

10 Reasons God Allows Suffering by Jared Wilson →
Just bullet points, not an essay. All don’t apply to all. Why does God allow suffering? 1. To remind us the world is broken and groans for redemption. 2. To do justice in response to Adam’s (and our) sin. 3. To remind us of the severity of the impact of Adam’s (and our) sin. 4. To keep us dependent on him. 5. So we will long more for heaven and less for the world. 6. To make us...

Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
God is in the midst of...

What Dawkins, Hawking and Hitchens know about God →
Extract:
How would you like to peer into the mind of Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, and Christopher Hitchens to see what they really think about God? Romans 1:18-32 lets us do just that. There Paul tells us what every atheist knows about God.
