Each Friday, I’ll post links to 3–5 resources from around the web you may want to check out.
A New Song: In the Valley (Bless the Lord)
Tim Challies recently released a book on sorrow, and the group CityAlight wrote a song inspired by the book. The words are simple but powerful. Here’s the second verse.
When the road that I tread
Fills my heart with despair
And it seems like my grief has no end
Still to Jesus I hold
Who will walk with me there
And the Lord he will give me His strength
Age with Joy
I enjoyed this meditation on aging. Our approach to aging can distinguish Christians from the world!
Just as Death has lost its sting, so aging has lost its ability to cheat us. We may momentarily lose loved ones or abilities, our outward self will waste away; but it is only a momentary loss, and as the Holy Spirit renews us day by day, our inward lives are strengthened, more robust and alive. Even as our flesh decays and we are nothing but bones in the ground, this is but a temporary reality. Because the grave is indeed swallowed up in Christ’s victory. We are laid to rest, yet we will rise again with bodies imperishable.
Can you summarize the doctrine of the believer’s union with Christ?
In a video from Ligonier Ministries, Sinclair Ferguson gives a 2-minute answer to this question about union with Christ.
