https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/tgc/2011/01/12/parenting-its-never-an-interruption
Parenting: It’s Never an Interruption. January 12, 2011. Parenting is all about living by the principle of. Let me give you an example. We had planned a day at a local theme park with our children. I was anticipating a day of familial amusement park bliss. I was hoping that on this day my children would be self-parenting, and if God could throw in a fully sanctified wife, that would be cool! So I jumped in and said, “Do you want to fight? I do this because I have personalized what is not personal. I bark...

Parenting: The Joyful Impossibility
https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/tgc/2011/01/11/parenting-the-joyful-impossibility
Parenting: The Joyful Impossibility. January 11, 2011. Now, Im about to write something here that may seem counter-intuitive and quasi-irrational, but here it is: That moment in the car was not dark and horrible. No, it was a precious moment of faithful grace. Rather than my burden growing heavier that evening, my burden lifted. Do I mean that suddenly parenting got simpler and easier? But something fundamental changed that evening for which I am eternally grateful. Getting to the Heart of Parenting.

Don’t Take It from Me: Reasons You Should Not Marry an Unbeliever
https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/tgc/2012/01/23/dont-take-it-from-me-reasons-you-should-not-marry-an-unbeliever
Don’t Take It from Me: Reasons You Should Not Marry an Unbeliever. January 22, 2012. You can find those passages in abundance, but when someone has already allowed his or her heart to become engaged with a person outside the faith, I find that the Bible has already been devalued as the non-negotiable rule of faith and practice. Instead, variants of the serpents question to Eve—“Did God really say? 8221; are floated, as if somehow. Does this sound like the kind of marriage you want? 8221; She did come to ...

October 13, 2011. Gracious words are like a honeycomb,. Sweetness to the soul and health to the body. Leaders can give you a list of ways you can improve. They know the areas that need adjustment, correction, or improvement. This is a necessary ability in leading anything well. They will not long tolerate the status quo, or the organization becomes stagnant, and we all know what happens to water when it remains stagnant. It starts to stink. Herein lies the power of encouragement. There are three areas in...
