The John MacArthur Bible Reading Plan @Redeeming Productivity
“Most Bible reading plans aim to get you through Scripture in a year. Others focus on deep study of just a few verses at a time.

Biblically Caring for Our Aging Parents
This post is from a past season in our lives when we were caring for my in-laws in our home. Though we’re not in that season anymore, I believe this message is still so timely.

From My Bookshelf to Yours
The Nine Day Queen of England: Lady Jane Grey by Faith Cook is a captivating and faith-building read. Lady Jane’s story reminds us of the power of God’s grace to sustain even the youngest believer through great testing. Her deep love for Scripture and her steadfast stand for Christ will encourage your heart and strengthen your own walk with the Lord.
