You Are Free from the Burden of Being Sovereignly in Control

Here, Paul Tripp reminds us, “Much of our regular anxiety, fear, and discouragement comes from thinking things are out of control. But what we’re really struggling with is this: Things are out of our control.”

Preachers, Perfect Your Voice

“While the voice is not everything in our work, neither is it nothing. It holds great consequence for many. Our goal is to train the voice in its work — to add some thunder to its steps, some brilliance to its colors, some reliability to its service, so that you can forget about its sound and welcome all into the vision of Christ crucified and risen from the dead.“

Trevin Wax makes this appeal, “I want you to rebel. That’s right. In today’s world, reading is an act of holy insurgency. I want you to ignore the chatter of parents and professors who claim you’re no longer able or willing to exercise your mind through reading. I want you to swim upstream against the currents that make it easy to settle for superficiality.”
