THE GOLD MINE IN THE LOCAL CHURCH: Here is another great article that continues the discipleship theme we have had this year: an important encouragement toward intergenerational interactions. "Men, who are the Keith Hamiltons in your church? Women, who are the godly women you’ve wanted to connect with? It’s time to initiate the conversation."

WHY YOU SHOULD PREACH THE “FAMILY GOSPEL”: Here is an encouraging word from Kendra Dahl: “My parents endured several years of suffering as I wandered away from my faith. My feelings towards God ranged from ambivalence to hostility as I questioned everything I’d been taught to accept as true. But even as they prayed for me and spoke the truth to me, calling me to repentance and faith, they also did something else. They made sure I knew I could always come home.”

THE SITUATION IN AFGHANISTAN, AND WAYS TO PRAY AND HELP: Randy Alcorn provides an update from a source inside Afghanistan. “What can we do to help the believers? Literally the only thing they currently ask for is prayer. That’s not strange or overtly spiritual. If they had a thin layer of protection and justice, it’s now gone. Jesus is literally all they have left. The Christians are seeking ways to stay safe and to survive. We stand with them in their time of greatest need.”

YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO SLOW DOWN: It is worth taking the time to slow down and think through the truth in this (longish) article by David Mathis. "Permission to slow down — perhaps that’s what you’re aching for again. Maybe you tasted it for a few weeks, or even months, when the pandemic hit, as event after event was cancelled. But now, with vaccinations in arms, and the collective rush to return to life as ‘normal’ (as much as that’s possible), you’re feeling the need again for life to move slower than the modern world seems to allow.”
