Hey friends! Now that we're neck-deep into the summer, I'm wondering what has inspired you this year so far? What blogposts have you written (or read) that stand out? What books have captivated you on a new level? What scriptures have you been meditating on, seeing the Lord open your eyes to more of Himself? I would love for you to share it with the rest of us!
So, how about it? What scriptures, books, songs, blogposts do we need to know about?
I have really been inspired by Rob Bell's "Love Wins." It has been opening doors to me theological understandings of God, and I am sure that will begin translating into my personal relationship with him. I am hoping to do a blog series on it later in the fall.
ReplyDeleteEarlier this year I read Radical by David Platt....some people don't like it because it steps on toes, but I was convicted and inspired because David challenges us to take a look at the American culture and see if it really lines up with who Christ is calling us to be. I highly recommend it!!!
ReplyDeleteFor me, Radical for sure. Our church as a whole is taking the Radical Challenge. It has made a huge difference in my life, and how I see things. I am actually reading the entire bible this year, instead of a chunk here and chunk there in my quiet time. I am actually enjoying reading the old testament. I am being reminded how patient and creative our God is, and sometimes He gets creative in our trials so that we will know that He is the one who delivered us.
ReplyDeleteI also read the book One in a Million by Priscilla Shirer, and had a bible study group in my home about it. It just made me realize how stubborn and how much I act just like the Israelites as they were traveling to the Promised Land.
