16 Jul Worth the Read – July 16, 2016

It’s been a great week as I celebrated my forty-third birthday. Someone asked me how it felt getting a year older; I told them it sure beat the alternative. With my wife away overseeing two children’s camps I’ve had even more time to read and file articles and posts than normal. Check out this week’s selections. I hope it blesses you and helps you live more closely and share Jesus more effectively. Again, just because a post is here doesn’t necessarily mean I agree or endorse the article or its author. It’s always helpful to know what is going on in the church and the world. Have a great weekend!
