Post of the Week From Around These Parts:
How Do You Abide In Christ Throughout Your Day & Why Does it REALLY matter?
The question of whether you are mainly a disciple of Jesus – is answered by whether you abide in Him, remain in Him, when the moments of your day mainly go sideways.

Gavin Ortlund wrote The Art of Disagreeing because he has been grieved about the lovelessness in the church today — and I cannot recommend this book more highly.
He hopes this book will give readers realistic pathways forward for navigating disagreements in their lives. This is important because Jesus taught that the world will recognize we are his disciples by how we love each other.
In Three Seconds of Courage, Riley tells the remarkable story of how she survived the 2004 Southeast Asian tsunami and learned that small acts of bravery can change your life in ways you can’t imagine. A decision made in just three seconds can mean the difference between a life of isolation and one of connection, between playing it safe and taking a bold step forward, between being self-focused and reaching out to help others, between holding a grudge and offering and accepting forgiveness. Her book will inspire you to push past your comfort zone, look beyond your own life, and act courageously for the good of those around you.
