No Greater Accolade (Christian Men and their Godly Moms) June 24, 2017
What would it be like to spend time with history’s greatest theologian? Imagine if you had access to the greatest theological mind since Christ, not just for an hour or a day, but for years. Think of all the questions you might ask. Think of all the ways you could observe and imitate a life lived full-out for the glory of God. There is one young man who had […]

Westminster Books has discounted a selection of new books from Crossway. The Success Affair “Working with such couples, I’ve found it interesting to note when the affairs happen. Often pastors get into an affair when ministry is going well, when they are achieving their ministerial career goals and dreams. Why is this so? Why would someone have an affair whe […]
No Man More Pitiful June 23, 2017
God had promised his people a land. He had promised to lead them out of captivity and into a place of their own. And now he had delivered them from their bondage in Egypt, he had led them across the Red Sea, he had remained with them for forty years of wandering, he had taken them safely across the Jordan River. Now just one great barrier remained—the people […]

How To Distinguish True Zeal from False Zeal June 22, 2017
I fear there is a plague of complacency among Christians today. Whatever happened to zeal? Whatever happened to Christians who are on fire to know and obey God, who have (in the words of John Reynolds) “an earnest desire and concern for all things pertaining to the glory of God and the kingdom of the Lord Jesus among men?” Yet while zeal is a noble trait, it […]

Preaching the Gospel with TULIP’s Tricky “L” in Mind June 21, 2017
It’s a fair question for the Arminian to ask: How can you preach the free offer of the gospel when you believe in a limited atonement? How can you preach the “whosoever” of John 3:16 if you cannot be certain that Christ’s atonement was for every person? How can you say, “Turn to Christ and be saved all the ends of the earth” if Christ’s atoning sacrifice doe […]

Will All People Be Equal in Heaven?
All people are equal in worth, but they differ in gifting and performance. God is the creator of diversity, and diversity means “inequality” of gifting (1 Corinthians 12:14-20). Because God promises to reward people differently according to their differing levels of faithfulness in this life, we should not expect equality of possessions and positions in Heav […]
Teens Who Choose Life in Unplanned Pregnancies Need Support and Respect, Not Shame
Today's guest post is from Kathy Norquist and Stephanie Anderson, who are both on staff with Eternal Perspective Ministries.

Fathers, Your Relationship with Your Kids Is Irreplaceable
Before I get to today’s blog, thought I’d share this photo I posted on my Facebook page last weekend. So, Nanci and I get junk mail from Verizon and others, nothing new about that.

Joni Eareckson Tada’s Advice for When You Don’t Wake Up Feeling Happy
As I’ve written and talked about happiness, I’ve heard from lots of people wondering how we can experience true, heartfelt, and Christ-honoring happiness in a broken world where life can be difficult. They often ask something like, “What should I do when I just don’t feel happy?” It’s true that we can’t make ourselves happy in God any more than a seed can ma […]
A Look Back at 10 Years of Blogging, and a Book Giveaway

Christ’s Exclusive Truth-Claims Make Believing “All Religions Are Basically the Same” Impossible
A Barna survey found that 59% of American adults believe that “Christians and Muslims worship the same God even though they have different names and beliefs regarding God.” And it’s not just secular people who believe that “all religions are basically the same”: One-quarter of born again Christians said that all people are eventually saved or accepted by God […]
Why Every Prolife Church in Oregon Should Support the Petition to Stop Taxpayer Funding for Abortion
The last 27 years I’ve been with Eternal Perspective Ministries. Before that I was a pastor for 14 years, and I have a number of close friends who are pastors. I feel like I understand their worlds. I understand why pastors struggle with the many political issues people want them to address in church. In my opinion, most issues that are only political have n […]

7 Simple Ways To Raise Non-Materialistic Children
Ironically, many children raised in wealth demonstrate the same tendencies as those who are raised in extreme poverty: depression, despair, attempted suicide, drug and alcohol use, and shoplifting.

How I Got Out Of The Rat Race
A little over a year ago I ventured out into self-employment after spending much of the previous decade in the "Rat Race".

As a Christian I have a deep faith, believing that God is Good ALL the time, and ALL the time, God is Good. My motto IS the "Golden Rule". Do unto others, as you would have them do to you. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Psalms 23:6 "Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever." ~Blessings to all~
