Weekend Update . . .

A free eBook on Discipleship: I'm about halfway through and have a very positive impression so far. For those of you in Church's Min., this seems to be an excellent complement to what we're doing in there. You can download the book at: Grow: Reproducing Through Organic Discipleship

This was posted on Between Two Worlds, and it was so good I had to pass it on: A Young Man's Testimony to Suffering and the Sovereignty of God

In it he writes:

I’m saying that no matter where we are in life, no matter what challenges God has brought or will bring us through, you and I need an eternal perspective. Both pain and pleasure are meant to point us to the same reality; namely, that Jesus Christ is infinitely beautiful and so much more than enough for our every need. Living for Him, even suffering for Him, is worth every moment of affliction! Why? Because Jesus shows you such beauty in pain, because He is there and He is carrying us through. C.S. Lewis said, “God whispers in our pleasure and screams in our pain.” That is so true.
