Bits & Pieces (3/21/13)

Questions for Sleepy & Nominal Christians – What questions would you ask people if you wanted them to consider whether they really know Christ? This post gives a series of heart-convicting questions to consider. (H/T)

A Single Woman’s Perspective on Her Work – Here’s an interesting follow-up to an article I recently shared targeted towards stay-at-home moms and the “mundane” tasks that may consume most of their time. Here’s an interesting take on the same theme of that article from a woman who is single and works outside the home.

The End of the World as We Know It – “The Christian faith is not pursuing the world’s ends the Lord’s ways. It is instead pursuing the Lord. And we find Him amongst the widows and orphans. Indeed when our Lord wanted to show us the goal, what the complete man of God looks like, when He wanted us to see what we are to strive for, what maturity, integrity and success look like, He put a child on His knee.”

Praying for Politicians – “The Bible gives us very clear instructions on how we are to participate in the political process—instructions that, if we followed them today, would make an enormous difference to the politics and government of our countries.” (H/T)

Ten Big, Daily Reminders – “I wake up lost every morning. At least that’s what it feels like. Perhaps something similar is true of you. Somehow during the night I’ve forgotten the big realities about God and the universe and myself and the gospel. I desperately need to steady myself with biblical truth rather than stumbling forward to live from unbelief.”
