Staying Current

Being a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a homemaker, a homeschooling teacher, a church member, a friend…I can identify with Nicole’s “busy season” (or probably more accurately, “busy life”) as described in her post earlier today. No doubt you can too. And if you are like me, you are ever on the lookout for ways to streamline and simplify your life. 

Well, I have found a quick and easy way to stay abreast of current issues (something I didn’t even think possible in this season) by reading Albert Mohler’s blog. Dr. Mohler has a unique ability to apply theology to culture. As my husband likes to say about him: “He has world-class discernment.”  I have found his blog extremely helpful as a one-stop briefing, if you will, on the happenings in the world around us. I would encourage you to read his blog and commentary regularly to benefit from his unique insights and perspective.

CJ is returning today from Louisville, having spent the last two days with Al and two other very good friends, Mark Dever, and Ligon Duncan. They were planning a conference that they will be hosting for pastors next year called "Together for the Gospel." Here is a link to the site if you want to check it out.

Dr. Mohler also has a daily radio show (which I highly recommend). Yesterday, he conducted an interview with Mark, Ligon, and C.J. that you also might enjoy. It’s 38 minutes long so you will have to plan accordingly. 

And may God bless you with wisdom, discernment, and strength today in the midst of the responsibilities that make up your busy life!
