Continuing our weekly conversations . . .
-
The deal: Each Thursday, we announce a question of the week. We seek to ask questions that spark interesting conversations, whether it simply be about books, traditions, spiritual disciplines, more theological matters, or anything related to life in general. You can join in our conversations two ways:
-
1. Leave a comment with your thoughts!
-
2. Or, if you prefer, post an answer on your own blog and leave us a link to your post so we can comment and add to the conversation. If you post on your own blog, you are welcome to use the picture above as long as you link back to us somewhere in your post.

This week's question . . .
-
In light of this week's articles concerning ways which we can help to alleviate injustice in the world, do you have a particular outreach ministry which you admire and respect? Gracy shared some of her favorites (NightLight International, International Justice Mission, etc.). What are some of your favorite ministries? Please leave a link to their website, if they have one, and tell us what sort of work they do.

    I love Free Set. I don't know a whole lot about them, but I have a t-shirt that I love and my older sister has a bag from them.

    They go and rescue children from sex slavery. Love 146 was the girl who started the whole charity, but still has not been found/rescued.

    I love Danita's Children. They have been working with Haitian orphans, meeting their basic needs such as food, roof, education and love. And now that Haiti has been even more affected by the earthquake, God has enabled them to keep bringing Jesus' love to those little ones.

    I have been blessed by Ravi Zacharias International Ministries. Their motto is "Helping the Thinker Believe. Helping the Believer Think." The RZIM team travels the world giving a reasoned defense for the existence of God.

    At first, I did not think that RZIM would qualify as a ministry that helps alleviate injustice in the world. But I changed my mind. It fits perfectly.

    The Holocaust started with the intelligentsia. Friedrich Nietzsche said God was dead, and eventually men's actions conformed to their beliefs.

    We must now restore the foundation of justice -- the belief that God exists. He created all men equal. He created us in His image, and we have value. Without that confidence, we will never have justice in the world.

Farewell

For over 11 years, Bloom! has existed to spur you on in your journey towards Biblical womanhood.  What started as a big dream in the hearts of three teen girls, turned into an international print magazine and then later turned into a thriving blog.  Our heart has been to go beyond the fluff and dig deep into God’s Word and into how to practically apply that to our daily lives.  If any good has come out of Bloom! , we know it is because God is the one who waters the seeds we plant ( 1 Cor. 3:7 ).  This journey of magazine and blog has spanned for over a decade and what a thrilling and beautiful one it has been.   God has deepened and widened our worldview.   He has given us a deeper understanding of His ways.   He’s brought me (Joanna) through some really hard times and pushed me to write despite the pain .   He’s shown me that although I am nowhere near perfect, He can still use me anyway. One thing He’s been teaching me recently is that sometimes, some chapters mus

The Art of Spiritual Journaling

By Jessina -

- And we're back! Thanks for your patience while we took a brief hiatus. We're back to posting regularly and we have some exciting new stuff planned for the weeks ahead (including a few book giveaways!), so check back again throughout the week. - Also, a note: if you're a reader and would like your blog added to our sidebar, please leave us a comment or e-mail us. We're hoping to start a list of links on our sidebar of all of our readers' blogs. - - I have never been much of a journaler. I have always been very much a future thinker and would rather write a list of goals rather than recount the events of a past day or flesh out my confusing emotions on paper. But within the past year or two I have been discovering the art of journaling as a spiritual discipline, discovering that journaling has the power to broaden my understanding of God, to help me find the splendor in the ordinary, and to help me see more clearly God's grace at work in my life. - No
