Isaiah 40-41, Proverbs 25:15-28, Luke 23:13-25, Hebrews 9:1-10 Proverbs 25:15-28: “Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone” (25:15). Such wise advice! We think of patience as weakness, but really it is strength. How different would our public discourse be if we remembered this lesson: be patient.

Lewis once said that the devil can only spoil pleasures, he cannot create them. And one of the tactics for spoiling them is to tempt us to over-indulge.

This Month's Featured Resource from God Centered Life
During August at God Centered Life, we're offering a copy of Matt Smethurst's book, Before Your Open Your Bible, with your gift of any amount. We know the Bible is important, but many of us struggle with it. Yet the Bible is where God reveals his loving character and incredible plan of redemption. Although there are many great resources on how to read and study Scripture, hardly any focus exclusively on how to approach it in the first place. In a practical and engaging manner, Matt Smethurst presents nine heart postures that will prepare you to unpack all that’s awaiting you in God’s Word.
