Why Am I So Spiritually Dry?

Glenna Marshall writes about what God’s purposes might be in allowing our spiritually dry spells.

Anytime I find myself slogging through a spiritual dry spell, I am forced sit with my open Bible and admit my helplessness to the Lord. I know how to do the spiritual disciplines. I know how to check the to-do list of faithfulness. I know how to dig into God’s Word for answers, how to promise to pray for people—and follow up on it. I know how to lead Bible study and discipleship groups. I know how to walk the Christian walk that keeps my heart in line. But, without the Lord’s help, without His Spirit working in me, without His leadership, I can do nothing to bring about growth.

Good Night, My Son

Here’s a touching tribute by a father who lost a son too young, complete with some good lessons about faith in the midst of grief.

We still have our dark days and are grateful for the moments when light shines through the gloom. One thought that has proved therapeutic is that what happened to Mwansa was precisely what we were preparing him for. When he was a child in our home, we often pleaded with him to yield his life to Christ in order to prepare to meet his Maker. Well, he was prepared, and he went ahead of us to meet his Savior and his God.
