My family experienced some difficult days through the holiday season. These were the kind of days that involved ambulances, emergency rooms, bleeds, broken bones, and even terrifying diagnoses that, thankfully, turned out to be misdiagnoses. We entered this new year thankful for the holidays but also thankful to be through them. And, to be honest, we also entered this new year a little bit frazzled and on edge.See AlsoWeekend A La Carte (November 16)A Key Discipline: Observe Without JudgmentToday … I’m Thankful

“The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees.” This quote from E.M. Bounds would work perfectly well without the word “early.” It would then say, “The men who have done the most for God in this world have been on their knees.” Taken that way, it would cause us to reflect on the close connection between prayer and a biblical view of productivity—doing good for others to the glory of God. We could then point to the prayer habits of Jesus or the apostle Paul, both of whom prayed constantly and did so much for God in this world.See AlsoWeekend A La Carte (December 28)Together We Pray 2024A La Carte (June 19)
