Christian Devotional-Stories and Bible verses about the presence of God in our lives

4 to Read-July 20

4 to readEach week, Everyday Servant lists four really great reads from Christian blogs around the internet.  Some are from well know writers and blogs…

Others are from blogs you might have missed in all the noise and clamor of the internet…

 

There is so much to read in the Christian Blog-o-sphere. No list could be complete…

Add your own choices… even something you have written…in comments…

We all want forgiveness…

From God through his grace…

From others, who we are sure have “done us wrong”….

In the story of a fourth of July camping trip… one with fireworks of an unexpected kind…

David Rupert unfolds an amazing story of forgiveness….

Are you a writer?

Are you waiting for your “Big Break”, complete with book contracts, non-stop speaking engagements and boxes of money delivered to your door every day?

What will you do if your “Big Break” never arrives?

Will you sink into a pit of misery and despair?

Will you stop writing?

Will you tell yourself you were never a writer after all?

Allison Vesterfelt published a book… and still felt miserable…

Read what she learned about writing and publishing and life…

“Slow and steady wins the race.”

Don’t dismiss the thought behind the words by scoffing, “It’s only a cliché!”

Remember…nothing become a cliché until it sticks around a long time…

And nothing sticks around a long time unless it contains truth.

(Is that another cliché?)

Tim Challies says waiting for the “Big Break”…

Basing everything on one single heroic moment…

Is more seductive than productive…

Read his thoughts here…

Hate comes so easily…

We’ve seen it on display in the rockets’ red glare in the Middle East…
We’ve see in in the glare of teargas grenades in Missouri…

We’ve see it in the glare of TV screens filled with commentary on both places…

Matt Appling at The Church of No People blog says we have to work hard to overcome hate with love…
