Me: How's your Monday been?
Calhoun: Had to get blood drawn for a hepatitis B titer and I didn't pass out, so all-in-all, I'd say it's been a hell of a day.

Spiritual Muscle Development by Paul Tripp →
I’m pretty sure that everytime Desiring God posts an article by Paul Tripp on their blog, I automatically re-post it to mine. He is just so good, so wise; and lately his articles have been so timely.
The article posted above is about maintaining spiritual development while waiting on the Lord. It is so easy to ask “why” or to become discouraged during times of waiting, but the...

The More You Know, The Less You Know
Ever heard the expression, “the more you know, the less you know”? The statement could not resound more clearly to my own self than it has in these recent months.

And with certainty, the longer...
If I can’t convince you that J.C. Ryle’s Holiness is one of the best books, then take the advice of Kevin DeYoung, who says Holiness is “on the list of my top ten Christian books of all time.” DeYoung is blogging about Ryle once a day for this week.

Trading One Dramatic Resolution for 10,000 Little... →
This article by Paul Tripp was so timely for my own heart. As I posted a few weeks ago, I’ve been learning a lot through my neck and back pain. But what I’ve learned the most about is my own sin.
