Be confident in expecting great things from God, for though you may be unworthy, and grace will show you your own unworthiness, yet you stand upon the righteousness of Christ. (Walter Marshall, The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification)

It seems this week is full of shorter gems rather than long series. Regardless, I hope your soul is rejuvenated.
- Julia Huisman and Tammy Johnston share a post on seeking purity after a history of impurity. This is for both the Christian woman and the Christian man.
- Sam Crabtree from Desiring God shares how God is glorified when we praise others and not God.
- Ray Ortlund shares a short hermeneutic lesson on how to read the Bible (and how not to read it).
- Jeremy Walker from the reformation21 blog shares of the excellence and failure of preaching God’s Word.
- Many might falsely argue Calvinists are not evangelists. Well, John Starke gives us an example from the life of John Calvin himself on how staunch an evangelist he was.
- Michael Patton collected a number of quotes from early church fathers on the doctrine of sola scriptura (by Scripture alone).
- Kevin DeYoung shares about the benefits he experienced while staying away from social media.
Short and sweet. Enjoy the blessed weekend.
