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.

Praying the Bible – Westminster Books is offering a solid deal on Donald Whitney’s new book which I am just about to review.

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

    I Regret to Inform You That Heaven Tourism Is Back

    I regret to inform you, dear reader, that heaven tourism is back. The genre possibly never went away entirely, but it did at least disappear from the bestseller lists for several years. Sadly, it has returned in Gabe Poirot’s 18 Days in Heaven.
