Morning Brew: Saturday, Nov 14

Last updated on: November 14, 2015 at 4:55 am   By Josh Daffern

This will be the last Morning Brew for the foreseeable future. I’ve enjoyed writing it, but it hasn’t gotten the traction I was hoping for. Thanks everyone! Do you live by faith or by sight? I know that seems easy to answer as a Christian, we should all live by faith, right? But let’s dig a little deeper. In 2 Corinthians 5, Paul gives us the famous statement to live by faith, not by sight. But the context is slightly... Read more

Give Me All Your Unwanted Babies Please

Last updated on: November 13, 2015 at 11:53 am   By Josh Daffern

Share this please. Spread the word. Make this go viral. I’m serious. If you’re a mother in a desperate moment, and if you’re considering doing harm to your child because you can’t take it anymore, please don’t. Contact me. My wife and I will raise your child in a loving, warm, healthy Christian family. Over the last two days I’ve read two horrific accounts of child neglect and abuse.

Morning Brew: Friday, Nov 13

Last updated on: November 13, 2015 at 4:55 am   By Josh Daffern

Are you being a living picture of God’s word to the world? Ezekiel was a weird guy, let’s be honest. Read his book of prophecy, and God asked him to do some cuh-razy stuff. Ezekiel’s prophetic ministry is different than most in that he’s prophesying to the people of Judah exiled in Babylon. In Ezekiel’s day, judgement is in motion with the destruction of Jerusalem, but God is still speaking to his people. In Ezekiel 5, God gives Ezekiel another odd... Read more

Who can you comfort today? Did you know that this is a task and privilege for all Christians? Look at how Paul describes this glorious responsibility to the early believers in Corinth: 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Compassion and... Read more
