Growing in Grace- Links 12/3

Posted on December 3, 2020December 2, 2020 by James Williams

A collection of links from around the web:

A Family Update Four Weeks After Our Worst Day

“We are okay. At least, I think we are. To be honest, I don’t really know how to judge that, or even what it really means. But I think it’s true. We’re badly broken, but somehow okay.”

Why I Write: Thoughts on Joy and Obedience

“These two motivations, joy and obedience, mingle together in the name of my blog: Fan and Flame. It’s an allusion to 2 Timothy 1:6 where Paul told Timothy to ‘fan into flame the gift of God.’ I take the command to mean that the young pastor must do whatever is necessary to keep the fire burning. If only embers remain, well then, you get on your hands and knees, put your nose in the kindling, and blow. Never mind the smoke searing your eyes—you keep the fire alive. Indeed, toil to make it grow.”

Secret Sins Will Harm Others

“We never play just with our own destinies, completely detached from others. We each sin as a human connected to other humans. We sin, as often as we sin, as fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, neighbors, coworkers, citizens, and, if Christians, members of the body of Christ.”

Behold Your God: A Plea to Look to the Sovereign God

“God’s providence is not some abstract or theoretical concept that is to be looked at from afar. Rather, the providence of God is a doctrine that must be applied to the Christian life. Understanding God’s sovereignty will promote godly fear, righteous living, and lowly submission before God, causing us to delight in his will.”
