I had the privilege of meeting with Rod Conner of To Every Tribe Ministries on Tuesday. God has given them a potential opportunity to serve deaf Christians in Mexico! Please pray that this opportunity would become reality. The impact could be huge!

Jesus takes away every evil thing by his own power
Posted in Sermons on March 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
What are we like? We are entirely covered in our own sin, like a body covered with the sores of leprosy. Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged. Why will [...]

In the middle of the list of things to do or remember on our whiteboard, I saw this: I’m grateful for these reminders!
Our experiences do not define God
Posted in commentary on March 13, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
On Friday morning I heard this interview with Rabbi Harold Kushner on NPR, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People. Rabbi Kushner wrote that book after his oldest child died. What struck me was how many times he made references to ‘I think’ or ‘I conclude’ about God. He made exactly zero positive [...]
When untethered to the Bible, we wage war on children

If you have not yet read Dr. Mohler’s blog from yesterday, The Scandal of Gendercide – War on Baby Girls, I recommend it. What is amazing is that he is commenting on an article, War on Baby Girls: Gendercide, in The Economist, a secular publication that believes “in free trade and free markets. . .“ [...]
Breathtaking reality of Jesus and Job

I am using the One-Year Tract Bible Reading Plan to help me read through the Bible this year. For March 9, there was this stunning, breathtaking reality right next to each other in the readings from Luke 23 and Job 38: Luke 23:44 It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole [...]

Three books on God and disease, disability, or suffering have arrived in the past two days. I am thrilled! Sue Hume, who writes Hope for Special Moms, highly recommended Brokenness: How God Redeems Pain and Suffering, by Lon Solomon. Pastor Solomon is the senior pastor for McLean Bible Church, which has one of the most dynamic and comprehensive [...]
“Complicated? Sure. But true nonetheless.”

A word on disability and God’s sovereignty from Jim Elliff at Christian Communicators Worldwide: What does luck have to do with it? Here’s a sample, on God’s sovereignty in the midst of suffering: I know that it might seem insensitive to say that God is in control. But this is what the Bible teaches, like [...]
There are deeper core beliefs?
Posted in commentary on March 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
As promised, here is how the article from yesterday concludes: It is the challenge of all those who value religion in its many forms, to see that there are deeper core beliefs which supersede exclusionary and oppressive dogma, and which, in fact, form the nucleic bedrock of all faiths. These are the ideals of inclusion and acceptance, the [...]

An update from Matt Chandler
Posted in commentary on March 18, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Pastor Matt Chander continues his fight against cancer, with a future hope of eternal joy! “Wanted to root myself in the truth.” Powerful example of continuing to read in the word, even passages we might consider familiar. I loved his preaching before he became ill with the cancer. God has given him even more credibility [...]
