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

1. Take the Long View of Discipleship

God plays the long game, and that’s true when it comes to how He grows us. We should do the same.

2. Is Congregational Singing Dead?

Ours has always been a faith sung by the people. We should make sure it stays that way.

3. See Kids Through the Lens of God’s Big Story

Here’s an encouragement both to parents and to regular old Sunday school teachers.

4. Is Oscar Charleston the Best Baseball of All Time?

You’ve probably never heard of him. I hadn’t. Like many who played in the Negro Leagues, he has fallen through the cracks of history.
