TGCA got together about forty people to give a day to thinking and praying about what, if anything, we might be able to achieve by working together that would not be possible apart. It was a stimulating day and the ideas that have begun to emerge are, I believe, exciting.
Later on that night I reflected on the humility and selflessness and patience that it takes to be an evangelist. It’s always going to be more fun to mess around with friends than to seek the lost.
Sometimes when I asked Dave a question about the Bible passage we were looking at, he would say, ‘I don’t know, Andrew, I’m just a dumb truck driver.’ It was a way for Dave to protect himself from failure. But was it true? Absolutely not!
What we once held with open hands—money, possessions, plans—can slowly wrap around our hearts. Without noticing, we can become like the third soil in Jesus’ parable: choked and fruitless.
It is impossible to have a child that does not make a mess of your house (for some years, at least). That mess is an inevitable outcome of becoming a parent and raising children. But it is a good mess. It is a mess that demonstrates you have something more important than tidiness: the God-given gift of your children.
‘Child’ was written on a trying day in the depths of the pandemic. As an effort to recite God’s words of comfort to myself, it felt like a lullaby from our Father to his children. And an invitation to trust him with each moment, little by little.

Judd’s book will help you, if not find the right answers, then at least ask the right questions. In the end that’s why I think this book is excellent.
The Holy Spirit is at work in you, and you are at work on yourself. How do we make sense of our own agency and the presence of God in us?
It was heartening to see Wes Huff following Paul’s pattern in his recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience. The whole three-hour conversation culminated with the question: “So what do you make of Jesus?”
God didn’t have to let Habakkuk in on his plans. But he graciously does. And when Habakkuk hears what God will do, Habakkuk is thankful, sorry, and rejoicing. How much more can we rejoice knowing the full counsel of God?
