He’ll pull them up all by himself and just sit there and watch them over and over again. One day I asked him why he like to watch sermons so much, and he just smiled and said ‘happy’.”

Subscribe to Tabletalk – Canadians are now able to take advantage of an offer Americans have had for a long time: a free 3-month trial subscription to Ligonier’s Tabletalk magazine.

My Friend Jesus – Jared Wilson wants to tell you about his friend Jesus.

GTA V and Children – Yesterday I wrote about the new video game Grand Theft Auto V.
