Here are a few links to some things you might have missed, or at least ones that caught my attention this past week:

1. Pastoring a Rural Church Isn’t a “Lesser” Ministry

This is a good word not only for perspective pastors, but for anyone who finds themselves seeking their own kind of “celebrity.”

2. Getting Through the Begat’s

This is a very practical article to help you navigate some of the “boring” passages of the Bible if you are reading them as part of your family devotion.

3. The Main Ingredient in Personal Growth

Spoiler alert – it’s “grace.” But how do we grow in Christ by grace?

4. Watch a Jacobean Painting Emerge from 200+ Years of Grime

Fascinating video, though the article acknowledges that this could damage the painting.
