To Read:
Three lessons from the extraordinary life of Billy Graham – @The Cripplegate
“Early in my (Steve Lawson) ministry it was my privilege to work alongside the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and that experience left a positive and profound impact upon my life. Here was a man who preached the gospel and attempted to reach large numbers of people for Christ. For this example, I will always be grateful.”
Know What Not to Say – @Desiring God
“Christians should be the most careful speakers in the world. We ought to be characterized by two kinds of trembling when it comes to words: we should tremble at the words God speaks, and we should tremble at the words we speak.”
There Are No Shortcuts to Growth – @Ligonier Ministries
“We’re saved by grace alone and justified by faith alone, but having been saved, we don’t just wait around to die. Christianity is about spiritual growth as well, and spiritual growth involves effort—the hard work of sanctification.”
The Reference Desk: Applying the Books of the Law -@Jen Wilkin via LifeWay Women
“Every January, legions of faithful Christians start in Genesis intending to read through the entire Bible in a year. With wide-eyed optimism, they persevere eagerly until sometime around mid-February, where days of slogging through ancient legalese finally take their toll.”

I just picked up a new salad spinner, and I love it. I had an old one that just left my greens too wet but I like the design and ease of this one, and my greens are much drier. Makes making salad easy peasy!

Flashback Posts & Podcast:
“Self-control is the exercise of inner strength under the direction of sound judgment that enables us to do, think, and say the things that are pleasing to God.”
The History of Modern Feminism
Women will never find fulfillment and satisfaction by trying to be “like” men and shedding their uniqueness as a female. They will only find satisfaction in Christ.

To Ponder:
Kindness is a readiness to do good, to help, to relieve burdens, to be useful, to serve, to be tender, and to be sympathetic to others. It has been said, “Kindness is love in work clothes.”
~ Alexander Strauch
12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
~ Colossians 3:12-14
