This year’s Desiring God national conference includes many new features, including nearly 100,000 square feet of bookstore, exhibit, and seminar space that we didn’t have before. It also means that registration opens for the conference much earlier than in years past. So, please plan on coming early as a pair of authors will be signing [...]

Another reason I am so excited about this year’s national conference is the opportunity to meet some long-distance friends who love God and live with disability.

I’m going to guess that this verse is familiar to you: Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Psalm 51:7 But the verse that immediately follows contains a surprising conclusion: Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. [...]

We had a wonderful time enjoying God’s creation, though one member wasn’t with us. Paul took ill again while with his grandmother, so we cut our time away a little short. We were with a new medical specialist on Monday who is just as flummoxed as we are about what is causing Paul’s spells. More [...]

First posted on January 9, 2010: A convicting and helpful guest post from my friend, Jan Lacher: I have been incredibly inspired this week as I have listened to Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Leigh DeMoss. The subject over the past three days has been memorizing Scripture. Usually, every morning, as I give Michael his [...]
