Weekly Once-Over (7.03.13)

Jesus Cancelled Your Mommy Guild Trip - I've noticed a common thread that threatens to unravel us all. Moms live with a sense of guilt that we'll never be or do enough. Here is a great post for them guilt creeps up on mom's and how to see God's grace in the midst of it all.

Fourth of July Reflection on a Changing America - For Christians, the issue of patriotism is always complicated by our citizenship in two realms, one earthly and one heavenly.  This blog posts give many great suggestions on how Christians are to live in this work but remember they are not of this world.

Family Ministry: How a Biblical Worldview Shapes the Way We Teach Our Children- "To have a biblical worldview is to interpret every aspect of our lives—including our relationships with children—within the framework of God’s story. At the center of God’s story stands this singular act: In Jesus Christ, God personally intersected human history and redeemed humanity at a particular time in a particular place. Yet this central act of redemption does not stand alone. It is bordered by God’s good creation and humanity’s fall into sin on the one hand and by the consummation of God’s kingdom on the other. This story of creation, fall and law, redemption, and consummation is the story that Christians have repeated to one another and to the world ever since Jesus ascended into the sky and sent his Spirit to dwell in his first followers’ lives. This age-old plot-line should frame every aspect of our lives—including how we treat and train children."
