As I continue to try to catch up on the last month, this edition will focus on Growing in Godliness.  All of these links are well worth the look…and time for reflection.

We’ll start with Kevin DeYoung’s Ditches on the Path to Godliness.  We tend to either think on one hand that the path is easy or on the hand that the path is impossible.  As DeYoung puts it:  In contrast to these two dangers, those on the path of holiness realize that growth is possible and it is also hard work.

Recognizing the ditches, how can we grow in godliness?  Dane Ortlund asked several Christian leaders what they thought the key to growth was.  The answers are thought-provoking.

But why do we grow so slowly?  What holds us back?  Ray Ortlund quotes Archibald Alexander who gives us three reasons we make so little progress. 

Finally, as we remember that growing in godliness is a path through life rather than a destination, check out these beautiful and often amazing pictures of roads.
