From Bad to Worse

WORLD did some interesting work on TV ratings. “Looking back, TV in the late ’90s was relatively tame—although it didn’t appear so at the time. The major networks scheduled 27 TV-G series during prime time. Contrast that with 2017, when just one TV-G show—NBC’s Little Big Shots—plays on the prime-time schedule. Meanwhile, edgier shows with coarse sexual and violent content have grown exponentially.”

Hi Mom! (Video)

It takes about 3 seconds to figure out how this little video is going to end. But it’s still worth it.

What Our Stay-at-Home Mom Taught Us

“You can’t google our mother and see her accolades. She doesn’t speak or write for others. She has no public platform. She doesn’t even have a Facebook account. Yet, for our lives and ministries, she has been more influential than any other person.”

Five Truths About the Holy Spirit

Alistair Begg lists them.

Flashback: Drinking It Straight

Once we had tasted that undiluted Word, we realized how delicious it really was. We were ruined to anything less. We still are.

Man’s holiness is now his greatest happiness, and in heaven man’s greatest happiness will be his perfect holiness.

    When God Plants an Acorn, He Means an Oak

    We stood together on the crest of a hill, a gentle breeze rustling the meadow around our feet. The fields ran gently downward until they met a creek that gurgled happily in its course.
