Paul Tripp writes:The biblical story is not an endlessly repeating cycle; it has a perfect beginning, a dark and painful middle, and a glorious end. This devotional includes a beautiful poem which speaks of hope in loss. Give it a read!
2. ‘Hamilton’: Healing Balm for Restless Immigrants
Moses Y Lee writes: Hamilton is a poignant reminder of the futility of striving and the redemptive power of forgiveness.
3. God’s Comfort in Nine Verses
Renee Tan shares God’s comfort from 2 Corinthians.
4. God of Naps, God of Justice
In a world that forces us to choose sides and causes to stand for, Faith reminds us that we belong to a God whose love, power and ways have no limit. She writes: God does not pit the cries of the hurting against one another in a cosmic duel. He is not conflicted in himself.
5. Surprised by God
Kris Sinclair shares the many ways in which he has been caught off guard and surprised by God. This piece made me smile.
6. Savouring Stillness
Zach Barnhart writes: We all have busy lives. But we don’t have to settle for a busy heart.
7. Poor Bishop Hooper – Every Psalm Spotify Playlist
I am enjoying this playlist of Psalms written by Poor Bishop Hooper. They release a new Psalm every Wednesday.
I’m pleased to announce that I have joined the Writing Launch Team for Soul Tread magazine! Launching this December, Soul Tread will help the young (and young at heart) to sustain their faith with relevant and hopeful stories so that they connect with God, the church and their Australian context. Including exclusive, original content that can’t be found anywhere else, each Soul Tread issue will illuminate new stories covering sustainable faith, church as a community and cultural engagement.
If you love art, words and believe in the power of creativity in gospel ministry, make sure to follow Soul Tread on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
