Anticipation

Posted by: whatsoever on: March 18, 2008

This year has begun with a bang for sure. I feel God is teaching me so much already, and even though He may be speaking to me in a zillion areas of my life, I feel like I’m in the baby stages of learning. Do I have anything to share?
One thing that has suddenly come [...]

Happy new year!

Posted by: whatsoever on: January 2, 2008

Welcome, 2008, and apologies for the unscheduled blogging break over the last weeks and maybe even months. The next issue of WM (Volume 10 #1 — ten years!) is in the pipeline at the moment, but while you wait for some fresh reading material, I encourage and urge and plead with you to read John [...]

Awesome books online

Posted by: whatsoever on: August 22, 2007

John Piper’s powerful teaching has been incredibly impacting in my life. Through Piper’s humility and passion, God has taught me much about Himself and about living for His glory and renown. Many of Piper’s books are available online, for free. Which I think is completely awesome.
Check out the newly-refurbished Desiring God Online Library.

Too old to honour?

Posted by: whatsoever on: August 22, 2007

Remember being little and feeling unjustly treated by your parents? Remember finding some comfort in the thought that, “When I’m a grown-up I’ll…”? Yeah? Me, too. When I’m a grown-up I’ll buy Coco Pops. When I’m a grown-up I won’t have to go to bed at 8 o’clock. When I’m a grown-up I won’t have [...]

Writing the Truth About Grace

Posted by: whatsoever on: August 16, 2007

Evaluating afresh how I meditate on the Scriptures, I was inspired to hunt out a short series of blog posts I remembered reading last year. The Five15 blog, a ministry to the youth of Sovereign Grace church, posted a three-post series on spiritual journalling. It contains simple tips that may inspire you in your approach to [...]

Spiritual Posture

Posted by: whatsoever on: July 23, 2007

AND LET US not grow weary of doing good. (Galatians 6:9)
About ten or so years ago our family learned a new phrase: Happy Backs. It was a little trainer in manners. Mum and Dad would use it (and sometimes still do) when we were slouching; it would be a cheery reminder to correct our posture.
I [...]

The beauty of the Lord

Posted by: whatsoever on: July 16, 2007

A friend recently shared a quote from C.T. Studd, a cricketer who turned missionary in the late 1800s. He wrote to tell his mother about the girl he would soon marry:
I suppose you want to know about her. Well, to tell you the truth, I can’t tell you much except about her spiritual life and [...]

Bible reading plans

Posted by: whatsoever on: July 2, 2007

As Volume 9 #3 goes to print, I thought I’d pass on to you a nifty new Bible reading plan I discovered.
Looking for something to freshen up my daily reading {which can sometimes become ritualistic and thoughtless if I’m not actively pursuing it with passion and creativity}, I came across a weekly plan which works [...]
