Spiritual Encouragement:
The Challenge of Wavering Faith - I’ve listened to this sermon by Dr. Charles Stanley several times over the past week, and each time I’ve been convicted and uplifted.
What Kind of God Do You Believe In? - “It wasn’t a crisis of faith; rather, it was a sober realization that, if I were to keep going, it would probably mean more sacrifice, more pain, more heartache, more exposure, more vulnerability, more attacks…even though all of that would mean more fruit.” - I so related to and appreciated this article by Christine Caine.
Cheap Grace - I was looking for Bonhoeffer’s famous explanation of cheap grace for something I’m working on, and after reading the whole thing - whew! It’s just too good not to share!

When God Doesn't Answer Your Questions - My Lamp Blog // Another encouraging post from Madeleine. I’ve been through this myself and she’s spot on!
The Little Bruise House - Stuff and Guff // “I will fall back in the love with the unremarkable – bracketing my days with an early morning walk and an evening prayer, settling my spirit with the new morning mercies of a loving, mysterious God.” Beautiful musing from Bailey that I related to so, so much.
Random and Fun:
