May the Lord be with you and bless you on this fine day.
Westminster Books has a deal on a book for kids they’re describing as “Pilgrim’s Progress meets the Prodigal Son.” They’ve also published a new book, now available in EPUB format, that is on themes of identity and union with Christ.

The Fall of Archbishop Welby
Carl Trueman writes about the recent fall of Archbishop Welby. And while this is clearly an appropriate resignation, Trueman does make this point: “He has fallen for allegedly assisting in the covering-up of abuse. He should have fallen much earlier for covering up of orthodoxy. That he did not do so tells us all we need to know about the priorities of the church over which he so pointlessly presided for so many years.”

The Plimsoll Line
Jacob discusses the “Plimsoll line” he has instituted in his marriage to cope with the fact that he is an all-out extrovert while his wife is just the opposite.
Have Salt in Yourselves
What does Jesus mean when he tells his followers not to become “unsalty?” This article explains. “The world can be attractive. Society seems to live with no restraints and represses the guilt of sin. Then, all of life is about self, and forcing others to believe how you conduct life is ‘your truth,’ it is the world’s problem if you do not see things the way they do. Conformity to the world lessens your resolve and leads others to question whether you are a believer.”
Flashback: The More We Drink, The More We Thirst
We will eat, we will drink, we will feast, and our hearts will be at perfect peace. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Prayer is no petty duty, put into a corner; no piecemeal performance made out of the fragments of time which have been snatched from business and other engagements of life; but it means that the best of our time, the heart of our time and strength must be given.
