Three Nuggets - Week 2

Three Nuggets  

  • Every week this month, I’m recommending a very, very short book worth your time. Ever wanted to memorize large portions of Scripture or even entire books? If so, I highly recommend this very short book: How to Memorize Scripture for Life.

  • 5-minute Podcast. The bookishness of believers has a long history: “The Enduring Word: Take up and Read!”

  • Devotional Thought. As Sodak Sojourners, how do we live out our faith amid life’s challenges and hardships? J.I. Packer is helpful: “God uses chronic pain and weakness, along with other afflictions, as his chisel for sculpting our lives. Felt weakness deepens dependence on Christ for strength each day. The weaker we feel, the harder we lean. And the harder we lean, the stronger we grow spiritually, even while our bodies waste away. To live with your ‘thorn’ uncomplainingly — that is, sweet, patient, and free in heart to love and help others, even though every day you feel weak — is true sanctification. It is true healing for the spirit. It is a supreme victory of grace.”
