Porn, and feeling bad about the wrong thing
For my brothers, because I know so many of us struggle with this.
unkaglen:
Anonymous asked: Right now, I really feel down in the dumps. Recently, I’ve been watching porn. I always stop for a while, then head back to the habit of doing it again. It really sucks after every time where I say I want to stop, and yet I’m continuing in this vicious cycle.
Could you help me out here, uncle?...

college ministry is an exquisite impossibility. every year, you discover that you have fallen in love with a group of people - people who only four years prior were strangers or even enemies. and almost as soon as you realize the depth of your heartbeat for them, for their safety, for their…

A Time for Everything
[1] For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
[2] a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
[3] a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
[4] a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
[5] a time to cast away stones, and a...

Poem submission by antebellumxx
Teary eyed and broken hearted, she shoves her fingers deeper into her throat. He wants her to be beautiful, she has to be beautiful- and beauty is small. Days are spent cutting out bodies of superficial models and pasting her face to them, her room is nothing but a collection of self-made paper dolls and sketches of her body re-designed to...

Good luck. Personally, I hope you fail, and fail miserably.
I’m so glad I was home when I saw this.
This is impossible.

Just Do Something
How ironic that my obsession with figuring out God’s “will” and “calling” for my life has left me paralyzed. God doesn’t want us to find out his will or desire - as if it is some choose your own adventure book with the wrong choice leading to a lifetime of suffering and a painful death (although we shouldn’t be seeking comfort in this life anyways).

Dan Chiasson's "Tree"
celebratepoetry:
In a multi-part poem Dan Chiasson calls “Swifts,” the objects and entities who speak to us (a fist, a needle’s eye, a sound at 2 a.m.) have uncanny self-knowledge. Here is “Tree.”

All day I waited to be blown; then someone cut me down.
I have, instead of thoughts, uses; uses instead of feelings.
One day I’ll feel the wind again. A moment...

Drippings of the Honeycomb
[7] The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple;
[8] the precepts of the LORD are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the LORD is pure,
enlightening the eyes;
[9] the fear of the LORD is clean,
enduring forever;
the rules of the LORD are true,
and righteous altogether.

'holiness' by j.c. ryle
esahlee:
this is a really good book. i’ve been going through it for the past few months on and off, but it’s been so good for me each time i’ve picked it up. what convicting words from a brother whose greatest desire was to take the words of God seriously!
an excerpt:
“Sanctification, in the last place, is absolutely necessary in order to train and prepare us for heaven. Most men hope to go to...
Habakkuk Rejoices in the Lord
17 Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
19 God, the Lord, is my strength;
he makes my feet like the deer’s;
he makes me tread on my high places.
To the...
Judgement
[12] For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. [13] For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. [14] For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do...
