Round the Sphere Again: Good Advice

For Growing Older
“Is it possible that God could use you even more in your latter years than in the earlier ones?” Here are some suggestions from Jim Elliff for preparing to be a believer who finishes well (HT: Jam and Books).

When Guilt Lingers
Shift your focus to Christ and his work.

[R]emember where Jesus is and where he’s been. He has been upon the cross, where he spoiled all that can ruin us. He’s now upon the throne of heaven, as our advocate and mediator. His state in glory doesn’t make him neglectful or scornful of the guilty sinners he died to redeem. He has the same heart now in heaven as he had upon the cross.
