Meeting Elisabeth Elliot – I am quite sure you will enjoy reading this little story of Elisabeth Elliot extending kindness.

How Should Christians Comment Online? – “Reading people’s comments online is an interesting and sometimes troubling study in human nature.” Which is one of the reasons I am increasingly turning them off.

Planned Parenthood and the Atrocity of Corpse-Selling – Russell Moore writes of an undercover operation which proved Planned Parenthood’s top doctor is selling the body parts of aborted children.

Keller

Prayer should be done regularly, persistently, resolutely, and tenaciously at least daily, whether we feel like it or not.
