I like The Rebelution and the Harris’ brothers “teenage rebellion against low expectations,” and something I particularly like about their mission is that they focus on the importance of small hard things. In a recent entry, they discuss this issue again with a quotation from young blogger Tim Sweetman:
Many young Christians long for Christian “stardom,” [...]

“For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God” (Romans 8:20-21).
I look forward to the day when the creation itself will [...]

Heather, a beautiful brain cancer survivor, wrote a recent post entitled Empty Me. She quotes a devotional written by someone else:
So, not only does everyone need a Savior to save them and take them to heaven but, they need this Savior also to cleanse them of the filth of daily living and to empower them [...]

I really appreciated the perspective this preview brought about the revolutionary importance of freedom, connecting with biblical times, the Middle Ages, and more recent struggles. Especially in regard to the mass prevalence of slavery during Bible times - think what it must have meant for Paul to write to the early Christians, “It is for [...]

One of the most recent posts at the Girl Talk blog was entitled Homemaking is Not a Hindrance. It was an encouragement to me because even though I am not a homemaker, I often feel as though what I do forty hours a week is hindering me from what I really should be doing. Although [...]

It’s a song lyrics post, which I try not to do often. But these are so good.
My soul is weak, my heart is numb, I cannot see
But still my hope is found in You
I hold on tightly, You will never let me go
Jesus, You will never fail
Simply to the cross I cling
Letting go of all [...]

I’m realizing that I might be at home for longer than I had planned on… and I need to stop thinking of this time as just a time of transition. I haven’t been getting involved in ministry yet because I keep thinking I’m going to be leaving. But I have no idea what God has [...]

Two amazing Scriptures I read today (of course, it’s all amazing! ):
“Do not remember against us our former iniquities;
let Your compassion come speedily to meet us,
for we are brought very low.
Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of Your name;
deliver us, and atone for our sins,
for Your name’s sake!”
(Psalm 79:9-10)
“Paul, a servant [...]

Welcome to the sixth entry in the Soul Sisters series (which, by the way, I still think is a really cheesy title). Click here for the introduction to the series.
Today’s truth:
The most content women are not those who have everything the world can offer, but who have everything Christ can offer.
What does the world try [...]

The phrase “one day at a time” has been my mantra for the past few weeks. There have been so many things going on, and it’s easy to be overwhelmed. Instead, I’ve been focusing on a very freeing truth - that God will give grace when the time is right. Jesus told us not to [...]
