What the Tolerant Must Tolerate – “To be a serious Christian in modern Western culture is to be the favoured easy target of every progressive thinker and every half-witted comedian. It is to have your sensibilities and your deepest beliefs on perpetual call for taunts, mockery and desecration.

There is nothing too low or too vulgar.”
Watch the Film, Save a Life – On world AIDS day, Carolyn McCulley asks you to watch a film and save a life.
Six Helps for Sufferers – Ray Ortlund says “Elisabeth Elliot disclosed six ways she has found help in the midst of loss and sorrow.” Naturally, he goes on to share those six ways.

—C.H. Spurgeon
