Hello you! Welcome to Average Us!

We have seen a recent flood of traffic and comments on our more controversial posts on tithing, and another on tithing, and pentecostalism. And while we are grateful for this interest, we want to remind our readers that Average Us exists to encourage average people like you (and us) to hope more deeply in God who is great — even when our lives aren’t. We hope the Holy Spirit uses Average Us in some small way to nurture in you a more soul-satisfying, God-honoring faith in Jesus Christ whatever difficulties you may face.

So, if you are here to see what all the fuss is about, Dawn and I sincerely thank you for visiting. And we hope you’ll also take a moment to read, comment on, and share one of our helpful archived posts on being average, spiritual life, or emotional health. Here’s a few of our favorites:

• Fourteen Reasons Lust Scares Me
• Hoping for Heaven; Content with Spring
• The Price of Our Imperfection
• On Hating and Loving Depression
• How to Pray for a Friend
• HIS PAIN, my pain
• The Difference Between Faith and Wishing
• Getting Beat Up By Your Idol

Thank you again for your interest in Average Us. If you like, you can subscribe by email using the “Follow Average Us” button in the right column.

For Jesus,

Lon & Dawn
