A LITTLE FIND Our church has been studying some weighty matters together. The matters sent me digging around our home library for some old textbooks for reference. During my search, I stumbled upon a skinny hard-covered journal, containing a detailed handwritten outline of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s book Life Together.

Desiring a father’s heart is much more than wanting to get married and have children. For the Apostle Paul, his desire for a father’s heart led him to become a spiritual father to Timothy.

THE THIRTEEN YEAR OLD PRAYER It happened well over a decade ago, in the dining room of St. Anthony’s, one of the largest soup kitchen ministries in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District.

Picking up where we left off, we will now tackle what Paul’s prayer reveals about how love should drive us to pursue purity (refer back to Philippians 1:3-11).
