Glimpses of Grace is not a how-to. It is a true friend’s invitation to see and know the [...]

Richard Sibbes considers the infinite and the finite in his perspective on the sufficiency of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross: “It is no less mercy than glorious mercy that will satisfy us when our conscience is distressed; and if this will not, what will? Let Satan join with conscience to aggravate our sins as much [...]

When I was in college I nearly lost an eye in a construction accident. A bunch of us from church were smashing our clumsy thumbs as we hammered framing nails to build a house for a low-income family. A co-laborer’s stray framing nail ricocheted off the wood and through the air, piercing through my right [...]

We’re packing up for a month-long trip to the States, making our first stop in Orlando for The Gospel Coalition National Conference. One might imagine [...]

from C.S. Lewis’ Reflections on the Psalms “I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation. It is not out of compliment that lovers keep on telling one another how beautiful they are; the delight is incomplete till it is [...]

My friend Kimm Crandall has written a book for moms who need the grace and love of Jesus Christ. I can’t think of a greater recommendation than this for her book because every page has grace written all over it. As a sinner who is a mother, by God’s grace I’ve been made aware of [...]

What does Christian marriage have to do with living in the “already, but not yet” kingdom of God?

A Year of Thoughtful Change

November 5, 2012 Devotional Mundane

Discussing how the gospel intersects our everyday lives in the home is what this blog is about. Although there’s usually some sort of drama going on over at our place, my everyday life is full of millions of mundane moments.

Thumbnail image for Book Review: War of Words

Review by Lindsey Carlson Can I have a word with you? Those words always make my skin crawl. Not because I’m anti-social, but because I instinctively think I’m about to get in trouble.
