Why Devotional Bible Reading Is Good Bible Reading – Dane Ortlund (Crossway)
That’s reading the Bible devotionally—when you come to the Bible and say, “Okay, what is here that needs to change me and mess with me, to tweak me and to correct me, to lead me more clearly and more deeply into communing with God?”
How to Mortify Sin – Sinclair Ferguson (Ligonier)
Like Olympic long jumpers, we will not succeed unless we go back from the point of action to a point from which we can gain energy for the strenuous effort of dealing with sin.
5.5 Hours of Teaching through the Letter to the Galatians – via Justin Taylor
Here are the videos from the expository plenaries at the Gospel Coalition National Conference (April 3-5, 2017) in Indianapolis, with the theme of “No Other Gospel.”
‘One Anothers’ I Can’t Find in the New Testament – Ray Ortlund
It is also striking to notice the “one anothers” that do not appear there. For example, sanctify one another, humble one another, scrutinize one another, pressure one another, embarrass one another, corner one another, interrupt one another, defeat one another, sacrifice one another, shame one another, marginalize one another, exclude one another, judge one another, run one another’s lives, confess one another’s sins . . . .
Hope you have a great Lord’s Day practicing the real “one anothers” and communing together with our great God!

Enjoy Your Prayer Life – Michael Reeves (EM)
In one sense your prayer life is disgustingly revealing. Your prayer life reveals how much you really want communion with God and how much you really depend on him.
Why You Can’t See Your Biggest Flaws – Tim Keller (TGC)
By definition the sins to which you are most blind, that you make the most excuses for, and that you usually minimize—are the ones that most have you in their grip.
8 Ways God Works Suffering for Our Good – Tim Challies
Suffering never comes our way apart from the purpose and providence of God and for that reason, suffering is always significant, never meaningless. Here are some ways that God brings good from our suffering.
Why the Church Needs Teens and Teens Need the Church – Jaquelle Crowe (Crossway)
All Christians are called to live in community with God’s people. All Christians are called to serve other members of God’s people, to love them, to be held accountable by them, to be taught by them. And teenagers—of all God’s people—need that so much.
Hope you have a great Lord’s Day!

Yes, You Can Please Your Heavenly Father – Kevin DeYoung
Over and over, more than a dozen times in the New Testament, we have this motivation. We ought to be generous. We ought to be godly. We ought to love and live a certain way because it pleases God.
Lay Aside the Weight of Discouragement – Jon Bloom (DG)
What discourages us is not as powerful as it feels in the moment. We overcome our fear by confronting our discouragement and exercising faith in God’s promises. Those are precious moments in which we will see the power of God.
The Blessing of Weather That Confounds the Control-Freak – Trevin Wax
In a world where we try to sustain the illusion that we are in control of reality, the weather does not comply. Again and again, we remember: This is bigger than us. We must react to reality, for we cannot subdue it. Call it common grace for a technologically idolatrous age.
Study at the University of Jesus – Erik Raymond
In other words, you are never to graduate from the University of Jesus. You are always attending. Always studying. Always learning. Always marveling.
Hope you have a great Lord’s Day!

God Will Use Even You – Steven Lee (DG)
It’s okay to be a nobody, if in all you do, you serve Somebody.
Contentment in a Discontented World – Jason Helopoulos (TGC)
The Christian finds Christ to be sufficient. We are the richest and most secure people in the universe; so the storms may beat the walls of our lives and yet contentment can lie safe within. It isn’t touched, because it is wrapped up in Him, who is our All in all.
Do You Disagree Online Like a Nonbeliever? – Alex Hong (DG)
If our lives testify in any way large or small to the stunning beauty of our rescue, then we will begin to outshine the hostility and argumentative dialogue of our day.
When Christians Hurt You – Nicholas Batzig
In the house of God, Christians must learn to remember the identity of their brothers and sisters, humbly pray for their brothers and sisters, lovingly cover the sin of their brothers and sisters and privately confront their brothers and sisters.

They Know My Voice – Matt Rogers (GCD)
The subtle danger of the unrelenting noise in our lives is that we may miss the voice of God.
Do You Think You’re the Exception? – Jon Bloom (DG)
Behind every willful sin, every conscious act of disobedience to God, is a presumption that what God, or his rightful authority (whether government, school, employer, or parent), says is best for the masses around us need not apply to us.
Every Click Counts: What You Should Know About the Internet – David Mathis (DG)
Every click is a kind of vote. Every time you click, you say, in effect, I want this — and more of this.

A Simple Way to Pray Every Day – Nick Aufenkamp (DG)
The problem of our prayerlessness is not simply with our smartphones or schedules. The problem is with our hearts. So, if we really want to grow in our prayer life, we must take aim at something much deeper than surface distractions: our most inward affections and desires.
Pride Is Poisoning Your Happiness – Jonathon Woodyard (DG)
But how do we lean away from pride and toward humility? There are a number of strategies for the fight, but let me focus on just one: consider fighting pride with pleasure.
How Much Entertainment Is Too Much? – Tim Challies
It is good for us to consider the place of entertainment in the Christian life. What is the purpose of entertainment? How much is enough? How much is too much?
Boring Church Services Changed My Life – Daniel Darling (CT)
Because somewhere in your congregation are children singing words they don’t know, listening to Scripture they don’t understand, and fighting sleep during a sermon that doesn’t hold their interest. They don’t realize it yet, but the Spirit of God is pressing the gospel message, through yet another “boring” church service, deep within their hearts.
Hope you have a great Lord’s Day!
