I sometimes say to my wife that writing is my ‘shed’—the place I go to to tinker with objects, to make things. In ministry, nothing is ever complete ... For some pastors, going into a shed to turn a piece of wood into a bookshelf or coffee table is a way of seeing something actually get completed. For me, writing is like that.
We must acknowledge that throughout history the gospel has been used time and time again to justify violence against Jewish people. Yet the gospel, rightly understood and preached, is exactly what will drive antisemitism out of our country.
There’s lots going on. But this is a day for you, too. So consciously plan a few two-minute breaks during the day, when you get to breathe it in and enjoy it yourself. That might be two minutes standing on your lawn, once the family’s back from church ... It might be two minutes hiding in the toilets at church before you preach. It might be a two-minute walk up the street for no reason.
Be prayerful, check your motives, keep a clear conscience, limit your time on social media. Write for God, and for people who read in good faith, not for clicks. Listen to comments and feedback from people who know you, but take criticism from strangers with a bucket of salt. Walk often.

Even though Mary was heavily pregnant with their first child, the relative hosting them couldn’t offer them the guest room. There were probably more important family members lodging there.
Scary Stuff is a fabulous new workbook by Dr. Sarah Allen. Her big idea is in the subtitle: “How Knowing God and the Way He Made Us Helps With Anxiety and Worry.” I was a little apprehensive about reading this with my children at first. In our home, I’ve tended to avoid talking about anxieties and worries in an effort to minimise them.
“The Invitation” was written in response to the question: “What is the gospel?” which was the question posed in a song contest orchestrated by TGC USA earlier this year. There were...
