Hey friend!
It's been a minute. We were on vacation with the whole family, so time was short and I wasn't able to keep going with the Mosaic posts, so I hope you'll enjoy it's return this week!
Grace & Peace,

A Mature Christian is a Humble Christian | Scott Hurst (The Gospel Coalition Canada)

The Pornography Pandemic | Leslie Umstattd (For the Church)
I resonated with her third point: community is necessary to overcome this addiction.

We believe the grace of God does this in each of us, so let's strive to encourage, pray for and walk with each other. Find more helpful articles from Fight the New Drug.
