“If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.” Philippians 2:1-2

Many times we draw a false demarcation between [...]

As the semester draws to a close, and the exams loom ever nearer; as project deadlines approach with the speed of a bullet train, it’s so easy to get overwhelmed by it all. As we allow our minds to dwell on reams of work still left undone, it’s so easy to let our joy [...]
