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.

What Is a Calorie? – What are these calorie things we obsess about?

Creations Groans Are Not Meaningless – Tim Keller writes truly that “Sooner or later, every believer wonders if being a Christian is worth it.”

Keller

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