What the Church & Christians Need to Know About Suicide & Mental Health by Ann Voskamp
Depression is like a room engulfed in flames and you can’t breathe for the sooty smoke smothering you limp — and suicide is deciding there is no way but to jump straight out of the burning building.
That when the unseen scorch on the inside finally sears intolerably hot - you think a desperate lunge from the flames and the land of the living seems the lesser of two unbearables.

Are Christian Missionaries Narcissistic Idiots? by Albert Mohler
American nationalism of this toxic variety flies right in the face of the gospel of Jesus Christ and in the command of Christ given in the Great Commission. ...American evangelical Christians did not come up with the Great Commission because we were frustrated with losses in the culture war. American Christians are not “slinking off” to foreign countries in order to escape the United States; they are going in obedience to the command of Christ.
What is informative about how to take action for the poor in Liberia.
Ebola by Milton Jones
The Ebola tragedy in West Africa and specifically Liberia is not only scary but has become devastating. President Sirleaf of Liberia has shut down the country for 90 days.

Inside Mark Driscoll's Disturbed Mind by Rachel Held Evans
I’m as sick as everyone else of talking about this guy. Believe me. But it makes me even more sick to consider what will happen if we don’t, if his leadership goes unchallenged and he continues to hurt people with his teachings. This is not some obscure pastor with no platform. He’s not a random internet troller who is best left ignored. This is one of the most powerful and influential pastors in evangelical Christianity.
If i'm wearing a hoodie or a sports coat, jobless or fully employed, speak w/ slang or not, I'm still made in the image of God.

I think Rapsang (pronounced rap song... and almost certainly named after rap) is my new favorite child name in our Kenya program. #coolkid

The soul's natural inclination is to turn blessing into a sense of entitlement. We war against this with gratitude.

Whoever named them @TheCivilWars was a prophetic genius.

I believe in the work of prophetic witness to the church, but it must be done in a way that doesnt hurt the prophetic witness of the Church.

Somewhere between India and Texas, a bunch of child progress reports were soaked in curry. Yes, curry. pic.twitter.com/B4rWdZR8RU
