Group Prayer: The How to's and The Houdinis by Jon Acuff
"Summarize the last worship song the group sang. 'God. You are the everlasting God. ...You lift us up on wings, wings like... eagles."
What is a powerful message.
Dear World: Let's Stop Giving Our Crap to the Poor by Kristen
"The poor may not have wealth, but they have dignity. I’ve met people without electricity or running water who swept their dirt floors daily, pressed their clothes neatly, walked miles to work on muddy roads, dodging sewage and never had a speck of dirt on them. They value their own worth, we should too."
What is thought-provoking.
Pronouns: Or, why I still use masculine pronouns for God by Sarah Bessey
"We live our lives not only for ourselves but for those with whom we are in community. And, yes, I do see myself as “in community” with those who read my work or come to hear me preach. ...It was for this same reason that my husband and I chose to have a “dry” wedding without any alcohol all those years ago. ...We make those choices, not out of shame, but out of love and respect."
What is true about blogging.

What made me laugh.
