1. Below is a compilation of some of our staff and contributor’s recommended reads for this summer (based, of course, on what we are reading). Let us know if you find a book you love!
  2. The Lord’s Prayer is liturgy and catechism, action and instruction, praxis and theology.
  3. Prayer is not just about asking for things. It's about receiving what has already been given to us in Christ.
  4. God cares about our real life where we actually are. He is present in the everyday.
  5. The Holy Spirit isn’t so much the one you look at, as he is the one who turns you from looking at yourself and your sin to your Savior, Jesus.
  6. The Lord knew how it felt to be a rejected stone.
  7. In the sacrament, we receive an earnest of that future promise here and now in the body and blood of Jesus given and shed for us.
  8. Jesus cries on the cross for us. He suffers and cries and dies in our place. He is forsaken by his father so we don’t have to be.
  9. As I look back, I choose to remember her as a soul redeemed by Christ.
  10. The testimony of every son and daughter of God is, God has brought us through.
  11. The story of salvation is the true story of God doing his unexpected work of salvation for us.
  12. What is undoubtedly true, however, is that St. Peter wasn’t left outside. He wasn’t left weeping. He was restored, as am I, as are you.
