A few nuggets of wisdom to edify your soul and strengthen your one-another ministry…

A Good Shepherd for Needy Sheep[1] – Here’s a beautiful article from Marshall Segal. “When today may be my last day and everything I have gives way, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Ps. 23:1). Not only will I survive this threat or sickness or loss, but I will have all I need and more.”

Your Highest Privilege[2] – “Justification is a legal or forensic idea which deals with God as judge declaring that Christians are now free from the demands of the law. But adoption is a much richer family relationship, “conceived in terms of love, and viewing God as father.” Tim Challies shares thoughts from J.I. Packer’s classic, Knowing God.
