Good Links - September 7th, 2011

Every once in a while, I feel it is a good to post some links I have found interesting, helpful, inspiring, or just plain funny. Here is my most recent list:

'After the Airport': This gal writes what most parents are thinking who have adopted children into their family. This is an absolute must-read for families who have adopted, considering adopting, or know others who have adopted and need to know what is going through their mind and life at the present time.

  The Difference between Good and Great - Whatever your hand finds to do, do it will all your might. Here is a great piece on the difference between good and great preaching (but it has relevance in all areas). C.S. Lewis and Russell Moore are two examples of great writers. Adopted for Life and Tempted and Tried are two great examples. He brings you into his story in such a way you feel what he is saying.

Tips for Teaching Your Kids - I found this article extremely practical and helpful. Be specific, teach all the time, teach at special times....etc. Worth the read...and to apply.

Don't Read the Scripture Stupidly - Some good words from C.H. Spurgeon. Read, think, chew, chew, chew, think, pray, pray, pray.


Community: Take Your Small Groups off Life Support - looks like a great book. Below is the video trailer for the book.
