Glorifying God in Trials (04/30/09 - 18 Comments)
Today's post comes courtesy of my good friend Ryan who offers some reflections on glorifying God through life's trials. He wrote this article yesterday. ***** I am writing this from the waiting area at the Trillium Hospital in Toronto, while my beautiful wife is undergoing a procedure to help bring closure to the miscarriage we first learned about last week. While this isn't our first miscarriage, it is the first since the healthy births of...
The Tactics Blog Tour (02/16/09 - 45 Comments)
Greg Koukl is setting out on a blog tour to support his new book Tactics (you can read my review of it right here). I agreed to participate, asking one question of my own and asking one question on behalf of another person. Here is what we asked and how Greg answered. There are many "traditional" apologetic manuals available to us, perhaps the foremost of which is Evidence that Demands a Verdict. Such books seem...
Ray Comfort on Responding to Atheists (02/02/09 - 14 Comments)
Ray Comfort is setting out on a blog tour to support his new book You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence but You Can't Make him Think. Knowing that many of the readers of this site are admirer's of Comfort, I decided to participate. I solicited questions from readers and here is one that Comfort was eager to respond to. I often respond to the questions/arguments posed by atheists not so much because I think...
Why Are We Striving To Make Abortion Unthinkable? (01/22/09 - 34 Comments)
This is a guest post from John Ensor. ***** Today I join hundreds of thousands in Washington, D.C., in the annual March for Life to publicly lament the death of 50 million preborn children and to pray for the day when abortion becomes unthinkable. In doing so, I acknowledge the resistance, even offense, taken by many by asserting that abortion is the moral issue of our day. I am familiar with the claim that asserts...
Reformation Day Symposium - 2008 Edition (10/31/08 - 37 Comments)
Today is Reformation Day--the 491st anniversary of the day Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of Wittenberg's Schlosskirke. That small act triggered a series of events that forever changed the world. It stands as one of the most important events in all of history--though an event that has been largely forgotten. Today we remember that day and express our gratitude to God for raising up men such as Martin Luther. I have...
The Revival of a Rebel Jew (05/26/08 - 24 Comments)
In June Crossway will release Colin Duriez’s Francis Schaeffer: An Authentic Life. To my knowledge there are currently no biographies of Schaeffer in print—and certainly none that could be recommended as being comprehensive (and this includes Frankie Schaeffer’s lamentable recent effort). I have a particular interest in Schaeffer because in many ways he shaped my faith and I’ve been reading the manuscript for this book with rapt attention. Though I have not read many...
Guest Blog: The Crowd Was NOT Fickle! (03/20/08 - 26 Comments)
Today I am posting something rare--a guest post. This article was written by John Ensor, whom you may know as the author of The Great Work of the Gospel and Doing Things Right in Matters of the Heart. In this article he takes on what he considers a popular Palm Sunday myth. Read it and let me know what you think. Is he right? Were the crowds really as fickle as we often think? Or...
No One Weeps Like a Prophet (12/04/07 - 11 Comments)
Last week I posted an article written by my mother, Barbara: Tears at Thanksgiving. It seems that people enjoyed it and I received plenty of requests to post more by mom. I’m glad to comply! Here is something she posted a few days ago for the family’s benefit. And we’re glad to share it with you. I suppose it’s a poem of sorts. Whatever genre it fits in, I think it gives plenty of food...
Tears at Thanksgiving (11/28/07 - 35 Comments)
My mother maintains a blog—a private blog that she uses to keep the family up-to-date with the latest family news. Because her five children (and four children-in-law and seven grandchildren) are scattered from Ontario to New York, from Georgia to Tennessee, she makes her blog a central repository for news and information we need to know. Yesterday, based on conversations she had around Thanksgiving, she posted some thoughts on divorce and its awful ramifications on...
