Acts 12-13; Proverbs 16:22-33

Friday's Bible Reading: Acts 12-13; Proverbs 16:22-33

The thirty-eighth day of summer.

Christianity Today has an interview with Michael Gerson that is very good. Someone should bring him to Grand Rapids to speak before his calendar is filled.

The city of Tyre is mentioned 59 times in Scripture, including twice in this week's Bible readings (1 Chronicles 14:1; Acts 12:20). It is of course also in the headlines. A search of Google News turned up "about" 10,700 results. Today's edition of Middle East Online has a matter-of-fact but alarming article that conveys the difficulty of fighting an "invisible" enemy ("Hezbollah fighting but nowhere to be found"). It sounds like evil incarnate—blend in, seduce, deceive, masquerade as good. If you follow the old adage, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you," what do you do when the hand belongs to the devil himself?!

And now, from the serious to the silly . . .

It's amazing what you can find on the internet—and no, I did not write this. (I would have used correct punctuation and have spelled imagery right.)
This author, Julie Ackerman Link is a fascinating writer who uses imagry and honesty to help you see the spiritual principles in a fresh, intelligent and honest way that the regular person can relate to and the intellectual can chew on. I loved this litte book and want to share it while I search for more of her writing —Vivian Hughes, review of Loving God with All My Soul

Julie,
I giddy with joy excitement over the "review" you received on one of your "Loving God" books. They are FABULOUS and obvious this lady knows what she's talking about. Praise God. I'm so proud of you.
Love, Donna
