Lead: Could there possibly be a right way to complain?
Intro: Never fear, followers of The Bible Project reading plan, today we square up with their daily plan…we’re ahead in Job, behind in Psalms, but today all is made right.
Hey, a couple things as we get rolling. I want to get better at mentioning resources for you. Today’s is 20 Compelling Evidences That God Exists: Discover Why Believing in God Makes So Much Sense, Ken Boa & Rob Bowman on Amazon (Kindle) — 99 cents! I’ve not read it yet, but I know Boa’s a good writer and Bowman’s a good apologist, so for a buck you probably can’t go wrong.
Too, I may have a late-breaking opportunity to go spend a month studying at Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics in the UK, but to make it happen requires wisdom, money, and a God-sized tailwind. I could use prayer for that, and if I can pray for you, give me a shout at hello@forthehope.com.
