Our Lina Toth has just had a series of articles published in The Baptist Times. Covering topics of Happiness, singleness, and Christian life, these articles provide a great insight into the modern church and give us some great points to reflect upon how we respond to modern society pressures. While looking predominantly at women in scripture and how that can be applied to our lives today, these ideas could also apply to men within the church as well.

A story about a single woman in Genesis is a reminder of the pressing need to keep addressing issues of meaning, purpose, and fulfilment in our lives.
