I first had my suspicions that Winnie-the-Pooh was more than just an annoying cartoon, when, a couple years ago I read the article "Lessons from a Bear of Very Little Brain". Don't worry...before I read that I WAS aware that the Disney Winnie-the-Pooh was taken from an old children's book, but that was about as far as my knowledge went. The Disney ( Read more... )

Two times before this ( here and here), I've quoted Elisabeth Elliot's words, "Heaven is not here, it's there.  If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next."   I first came across that quote back in April and it quickly became one of my favorite.  It's SO true (like most of Elisabeth Elliot's ( Read more... )

To go along with "What's Wrong with the Gospel" and the problems of Western Christianity, I thought I'd mention a recent Boundless article that dealt with similar subject matter, "Sin: An Honest Mistake?".  Some of my favorite quotes from it...

Sin is not an honest mistake and Jesus did not die to make you happy. Sins aren't accidents and God is not ( Read more... )

I just finished reading a Boundless article that I've had bookmarked for awhile.  When I get the weekly Boundless newletter/update, I usually don't have time then to read the articles...so I bookmark the ones that look interesting, and get around to reading them later.  This one was called "It's Never 'Just a Movie'" and it was very good!  ( Read more... )

Last night, I read an article from Boundless called "Venting and Losing".  It was quite convicting.  Go and read it.

"Do all things without complaining or disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world...." ~Phil. 2:14

Yesterday I posted the link to a Boundless article by Joshua Harris called "Like to Watch".   Today, on the Why Family blog ("owned" by Candice Watters, the founding editor of Boundless, and her husband), there was a follow-up post (though would it be considered "follow-up", even if she didn't write the original?!), commenting and expounding on the ( Read more... )

Well, to give you all something to read over the weekend, here are two good articles that I read today...

"Like To Watch" - Examines the subtle, yet serious, problems found in the lack of Biblical discernment in regards to various media.

"Getting To Marriage: What You Can Do" - A review of the book (that I REALLY want to read!), Getting Serious About ( Read more... )

Boundless is another site that I seem to always be linking to!  But they have good, thought-provoking writings...so why not help them to provoke another person's thoughts?!  Anyway...here's some good articles that I just finished reading....

"Cravings, Lust, and Boasting" - What a title!  This one talks about the implications of taking seriously 1 ( Read more... )

My best friend just shared the following quote with me...she came across it on the the Boundless homepage (but it may be gone from there now...they change the quote every so often!).

"Heaven is not here, it's there.  If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next." ~Elisabeth Elliot

First off, before I get caught up with ramblings...I just read a wonderful article, by Dr. Albert Mohler, called "Reflecting on 'The Mystery of Marriage'"  It is VERY good...you should go and read it!   I first heard about it this morning at YLCF and bookmarked it for later reading...and then it was one of the feature articles in the Boundless e- ( Read more... )
