The Many Faces of Legalism
“We are all born with a legal-heart, and the Christian life is one of discovering just how legal-hearted we continue to be. It’s not until we understand the right use of God’s law in its intimate union with the gospel that we begin to move away from every form of legalism. ”

Benny Hinn Says He’s Guilty of Taking the Prosperity Gospel Outside of What the Bible Teaches
“He explained, “When I was younger I was influenced by the preachers who taught whatever they taught. But as I’ve lived longer, I’m thinking, ‘Wait a minute, you know this doesn’t fit totally with the Bible and it doesn’t fit with the reality.’ So what is prosperity? No lack. I’ve said this before.”"

It’s not just you, everybody is exhausted

7 tips for learning biblical Hebrew from Miles Van Pelt
“Tip 6: Get enough sleep every night Another important tip for studying Hebrew is to make sure you get enough sleep every night for your brain to be working properly the next day. I understand that one of the biggest temptations is to stay up late and to get up early—and minimize your sleep. The problem is your brain needs rest in order to memorize and understand things.

Self-care is the physical, emotional, and spiritual equivalent of automobile maintenance. Change the oil, check the transmission fluid, check the air-pressure, and get weird noises checked out, then your car or truck should last. Ignore the “clunk, clunk” or the smoking tailpipe long enough and expect a costly repair later.”

Hide, Replenish, and Go
“I am tired. Over the past year, I have found myself being stretched thin and out of energy. I tend to overwork myself and overload myself with productive tasks. However, I also find myself running on more energy than I have on my own. The last few months have awakened my need for hiding and resting. I do not mean that I am hiding from responsibility or people. Instead, I am trying to discipline myself to hide in Scripture. I realize I cannot do this on my own and it does not come naturally for me to rely on someone else. I have set out to discipline myself in three things: hiding in Scripture, being replenished in Scripture, and being sent by Scripture.”
