Over the weekend I could see that Aileen had something on her mind. We spoke and she told me about reading the news, about seeing more Christian men fall into scandal, and, in the face of it all, her confusion, her despair, the crumbling of her hope. I asked if she would write about it.…

Fasting for Beginners “Chances are you are among the massive majority of Christians who rarely or never fast. It’s not because…
Love is a risky business. In one way or another, at one time or another, we have all suffered because we have loved. We have all been shocked to learn something we didn’t know before, we have all been grieved as we have discovered another person’s hidden actions or behavior. Some of us have even…
I found no new Kindle deals today but did want to answer a question I have often been asked. What I post day-by-day is a list of curated deals. They are almost all books I can vouch for one way or another–I have read them, they come from a solid publisher, or they have trusted…
Sometimes it is the unexpected things that get you. Sometimes it is the words you have heard or said or sung a hundred times over that suddenly leap off the page—words like “My sin, not in part but the whole.” The words come, of course, from the much-loved hymn “It Is Well With My Soul,”…
Another 50 Livers a Week The Center for Medical Progress has released their eighth video, which shows a meeting with StemExpress CEO Cate Dyer.

In a continuing series, professors from the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary share some thoughts that are on their hearts. It’s amazing how regimented modern life is. Busy schedules demand precise organization, and we can hardly conceive of a…
Gestures are funny things. Gestures have no intrinsic meaning, but they do have very important assigned meanings. Here in North America the simple thumbs-up gesture means “well done,” but in some other cultures it carries a meaning that is vulgar and offensive. Or just think of George W. Bush at his 2005 inauguration flashing the…
You Really Don’t Need To Work So Much “The past fifty years have seen massive gains in productivity, the invention of countless labor-saving devices, and the mass entry of women into the formal workforce.” So why do we all work so many hours? Reflections on a Planned Parenthood Protest John Piper reflects on Saturday’s Planned…
John Piper addressed the question, Does Proverbs Promise My Child Will Not Stray? in a recent episode of Ask Pastor John. As you might have guessed, the question was based on Proverbs 22:6: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Piper…
