A theology of leisure: Reagan Rose with an important piece. She says, “Many Christians have unthinkingly adopted a view of leisure that sees rest time as synonymous with me time. But this is a historical anomaly.”
The church’s unsung hero: the persevering Sunday School teacher: Can we get an amen to Trevin Wax’s post? God bless our amazing faithful teachers! “Committed Sunday school teachers are a big part of what makes discipleship effective. Yet how often do we let weeks and years go by without lifting up their example or celebrating their faithfulness?”
Doctor Google, influencer moms, and the local church: Tim Challies begins, “A family member was recently paying a visit to a doctor who provided his diagnosis of the condition and suggested a course of treatment. My family member listened patiently but then said, “I was wondering if we could actually try another treatment instead.” The doctor playfully rolled his eyes and said, “I see you’ve been consulting with Dr. Google.” Guilty as charged.”
When our minds fail, Jesus will not lose us: What a beautiful reflection from Lara D’Entremont, “Not me, I thought. She loves me. She babysat me when my mom went back to work after I was born. She brought me my favorite candy bar every time she visited. She told me funny stories and pretended to cry when I said I couldn’t eat any more of my food. She let me build forts in her living room with all the cushions I could find. Not me, I couldn’t be forgotten.”
