FREE Kindle Book today: Ed Welch’s Running Scared: Fear, Worry, and the God of Rest[1]

Here are three articles that I found beneficial this past week.

How the Church Makes the Trial of Infertility Better (or Worse)[2] – “Five years ago, my wife Andrea and I sat in our church’s Sunday evening prayer service, listening as another couple talked about their struggles with infertility and asked the church to pray for them as they endured surgeries, tests, and the misery of fertility drugs. It didn’t occur to us, at the time, that we might go through the same trial.”

5 Things Christians Should Stop Saying[3] – “We mean well, don’t we? But sometimes our attempts to say something spiritual actually come out unbiblical, or at a minimum, not very helpful.”

How to Read the Whole Bible in 2014[4] – “The average person reads 200 to 250 words per minute; there are about 775,000 words in the Bible; therefore it takes less than 10 minutes a day to read the whole Bible in a year.”
