A batch of the best highlights from what Joshua's read, .
In the book of Jeremiah, God proclaims, “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls” (Jeremiah 6:16 ESV). God invites us to follow the ancient paths. A path is not a Killer App. It is a process.
Disappearing Church
Mark Sayers
Ever since returning from China, I’ve had an abiding interest in asking this question: “How is it that the West can be re-evangelized?”4 One of the reasons I’m so compelled by the life of habit is that I see habits as a way of light in an age of darkness. Cultivating a life of transcendent habits means that our ordinary ways of living should stand out in our culture, dancing like candles on a dark mantle. As Madeleine L’Engle once wrote, “We draw people to Christ not by loudly discrediting what they believe . . . but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it.”5
