cierabgardner:
It’s sexy among young people — my generation — to talk about ditching institutional religion and starting a revolution of real Christ-followers living in real community without the confines of church. Besides being unbiblical, such notions of churchless Christianity are unrealistic. It’s immaturity actually, like the newly engaged couple who think romance preserves the marriage,...

"When you come, bring the cloak that I left with...
We do not know what the books were about, and we can only form some guess as to what the parchments were. Paul had a few books which were left, perhaps wrapped up in the cloak, and Timothy was to be careful to bring them.
Even an apostle must read.
He is inspired, and yet he wants books! He has been preaching at least for thirty years, and yet he wants books! He had seen the Lord, and yet he...

Guys, please pray for Johnny.
hellomynameisliv:
He just totaled his car from almost hitting a deer. He swerved off the road, through a ditch and into a tree. Highway patrol is on the way but he refuses to allow me to drive to see him. Please pray he’s okay.
Thank you.

For all your meekness and all your servanthood and all your submission to your wife’s deep desires and needs, you are still the head, the...
