Our encouragement in the Gospel Jump-Start Series this week comes from John Calvin. In his work, A Little Book on the Christian Life, Calvin wrote…

I recently read When Pain is Real and God Seems Silent by Ligon Duncan. This book is composed of two of Duncan’s sermons on Psalm 88 and 89. It was a very short, yet rich read. My reflections will primarily focus on Psalm 88:10-12…
