God’s Witness in True Myths: The Story of the Peace Child

This is a wonderful retelling of the story of “The Peace Child.” Highly recommended!

In Search of Chivalry

Kevin DeYoung goes in search of true chivalry. “What is missing from the present version of manly bravery is the insistence that charging into battle requires the ‘heavy burden’ of virtue—and not just one virtue (fortitude), but all of them (prudence, justice, and temperance). If today’s would-be knights are serious about exercising Christ’s dominion on the earth, they must first be serious about exercising dominion over themselves—over their speech, over their anger, over their petty vindictiveness.”

How Can I Know I’m a Christian?

John Piper answers a “bottom-line, existential, frightening, glorious question.” That question, of course, is “How can I know I’m a Christian?”

While You Sleep, Jesus Prays for You

Patrick Schreiner: “What exactly does Jesus pray for you? While it’s a great comfort to hear that Jesus prays for us, it’s even a greater comfort to hear what he prays for us. By examining the Scriptures, we discover three specific petitions Jesus brings before the Father on our behalf.”

How Should I Talk With Children About Abortion?

Megan Almon helps parents think about the right time to speak to their children about abortion. “There is no specific age that is perfect for teaching pro-life apologetics. Perhaps my work in the field exposed my children earlier and more than most to the issue of abortion, but I found that my daughter began asking serious questions about abortion at the age of twelve, and her younger brother slightly sooner.”

What Was the Protestant Reformation?

This is a good day to be reminded what the Protestant Reformation was all about.

Flashback: When Calvin and Wesley Shake Hands

God makes the race in part, and then he gradually puts us together. What I lack, you make up; what you lack, I make up; our deficits and surpluses of character being the cog-wheels in the great social mechanism.

If God’s words seem true for others but not for me, I am being deceived by Satan’s lies, and I need help. The Lord helps me through his Spirit, his Word, and other people.

—Ed Welch
