Ah, you who hide deep from the Lord your counsel, whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?” You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay, that the thing made should say of its maker, “He did not make me”; or the thing [...]

Abortion is about marketing?

Frances Kissling, the former president of Catholics for Choice and Kate Michelman, the former president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, wrote an opinion piece in the Washington Post a week before what is now known as the Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad was aired. Titled “What Tim Tebow’s Super Bowl ad can teach the pro-choice movement,” [...]
Words matter. Heart matters more.

Politicians from both sides of the aisle have been caught using the word ‘retarded’ in a demeaning way over the past several months. Of all people, those who have their words scrutinized should know better. But I’m not writing today to pile on – I know my own heart well enough to know that while [...]
Jesus loves ALL the little children

February is Black History Month in the United States, so it seems appropriate to point out a common evil: abortions are disproportionately carried out on babies with disabilities and babies with black skin. Abort73.com reports what this means in percentages and actual numbers of black children being aborted: According to the most recent census data, [...]

Lord willing, Krista Horning’s book, Just the Way I Am, will be ready in March for distribution. It is one of the most important books on disability and the Bible yet written. You will understand that is not an exaggeration when you see it. Pastor John has been wonderfully supportive of its creation, and you [...]

The Desiring God Conference for Pastors is over and all the messages can be found here. I met some incredible men over the three days. Some of those men have dealt with extraordinary personal pain: The murder of a daughter two years ago The sudden death of a wife due to an illness A premature [...]
The purpose of suffering. . .

Eric Mason delivered a powerful message yesterday morning at the DG Conference for Pastors. His theme was suffering, sanctification and joy. He speaks with credibility. He has experienced suffering in his own life and family. And he loves Jesus. Here is a quote from my notes that I’m still chewing on: The purpose of [...]
Pastors must do hard things

The pastors have showed up for the Desiring God Conference for Pastors, along with a few men who just decided to come along with them. And like last year, I heard some hard stories. These faithful men carry a lot on their shoulders. Thankfully, they don’t carry it by themselves. I heard many references to [...]
Pastors are gathering – please pray!

More than 1300 pastors are gathering for the 2010 Desiring God Conference for Pastors starting this afternoon. I love this gathering of men! I think I can summarize why in two statements: The pastors with the greatest impact on me and my family are men who know the word and apply it appropriately, carefully, and [...]

Happy Birthday, Christian!
Posted in commentary on February 10, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Christian Turner is one of my favorite works of God, and it is his birthday today (Wednesday)! See pictures and a delightful, God-honoring testimony from his mother here. The handsome man in the pictures is his father. Kempton is one of my pastors at Bethlehem, and a man I deeply respect. He loves Jesus, and [...]
