Friday Finds.

Happy Friday!

Here's my list of five, fervent, enlightening articles I discovered this week!

Prayer, Ghandi, Ryan Gosling, evangelism, and comparison are all discussed.

Check 'em out: 

1)  Prayer and Talking to my Children
Brad Hambrick, counseling pastor at The Summit Church

"...I saw in my prayerlessness an intentionally isolated child trying to make meaning of life without engaging their Father for help.  Why would I do that?"

2)  Gandhi Doesn't Like Us

Tim Challies, pastor of Grace Fellowship Church

"Jesus reserved the harshest words for the religious elite, those who declared that they were holy, that they understood the nature of God, that they had achieved some kind of enlightenment."

3)  Ryan Gosling, Romance Novels, and the Dangers of Fantasizing

Anna Broadway, writer for Hermenutics

"Though we almost always turn to them when life's brokenness has reasserted itself, such fantasies represent the wrong kind of change."

4)  The Fire of Belief
Douglas Wilson, from The Resurgence blog

"A relativistic age is sure of nothing, except for a dogged commitment to the necessity of that relativism."

5)  Marriage Poison 
Sharon Hodde Miller, from her blog, She Worships

"...when reality is competing with fantasy, fantasy always wins."
