Love this kingdom-centered perspective from Brian Zahnd.

One of the sweetest parts of my hour-long commute is listening to worship music that draws me into the Lord's presence. My car has become a sanctuary where I meet with God. What have you found helpful and spiritually uplifting during your commute?

Very good discussion of how the gospel must shape our political thinking (and not the other way around).

I just had surgery for a detached retina. To fix my eye problem, I needed a good doctor. To fix my spiritual blindness, I needed an even greater Physician. While I'm thankful for modem medicine, I'm even more grateful for Jesus, who opened my eyes in a much more significant way.

Why learn another language? For the sake of the gospel. "The task of the Great Commission cannot be completed unless faithful disciples intentionally strive for fluency in second languages." C'mon, you can do it. desiringgod.org/articles/someo…

As we anticipate the U.S. election tomorrow, will you join me in praying for God to be glorified and for peace to reign in our country, no matter who is elected? Praying that we will all rest in God's sovereignty and reflect the grace that He has shown us in Christ.

A prayer for the election 🙏🏿

Every election, with its full slate of flawed candidates, is a clear reminder that our ultimate hope is not in government or leaders or policies. As you do your civic duty and vote, remember to look to Jesus Christ and Him alone as your Savior.

My new favorite word: sonder. It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know. Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.

If you share my burden for the plight of our Palestinian brothers and sisters in Christ, as well as the broader Palestinian community (or even if you don't), here's a good book for you. It shows the suffering of the Palestinian people and one man's efforts to promote peace.

Short answer, yes. David French does an excellent job of explaining why. Good episode for faithful Jesus-followers to help us avoid despair, even in the Age of Trump. Thanks to Curtis Chang for pointing us to Col. 1:15-17 to remind us of our hope. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/goo…
