What's your plan as we go into the holidays for how you're going to share the

gospel with your family members or friends who don't know Jesus? I wrote a short

resource called Gospel Threads to help you intentionally share Christ in the

fabric of your normal conversations around the table or the living room or wherever you are,

and we want to send you a free copy of gospel threads to your front door.

Just go to radical.net slash share Jesus.

Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.

One of my favorite chapters in the Bible about family.

I'm going to read the whole thing. It's five verses. Unless the Lord builds

the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil, for he gives to his beloved sleep.

Behold, children are heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a

warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them.

He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

Is that not an awesome picture of the Lord who builds the House?

The Lord who gives children as a heritage, the fruit of the womb, reward a gift like arrows in the hand of a warrior children

are a blessing to those who whose quiver is full with them.

Oh, there's so many different directions we could pray based on this, but I want to read

a prayer request that came in. I'm not going to mention the name or all the details

because of some of the sensitive nature of it. So again people just sending in

specific prayer requests to pray for during this pandemic at radical.net slash prayer
