“I sought the LORD, and he answered me!”
Posted in Scripture on February 27, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
A really helpful reading from yesterday’s worship: I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel [...]

Joni’s radio broadcast this week included an interaction she had with mother who has a son with an injury very much like Joni’s injury. It was helpful in several ways – how to listen well to someone in pain, when to respond and when to be silent, and where Joni’s hope is. There’s a time [...]
There’s just something about grandma’s house
Posted in Uncategorized on February 25, 2012 | 6 Comments »
Paul had a crummy week, health wise. But earlier in the week we visited Grandma Darlene, and Paul was so happy he gave us a song. God is kind to drop these happy moments into our family – and I was glad I had my phone ready to catch it! His other grandma taught him [...]

I’m not sure where I first heard this, but it has been within the past month and it has been deeply encouraging. I like this version in particular because they end with the chorus to The Stand.

The headline for David Brown’s article in the Washington Post confirms it: Genome news flash: We’re all a little bit broken. Basically, the ‘average’ person has something wrong in their genetic makeup: A new study estimates that the average person goes through life with 20 genes permanently out of commission. With each of us possessing [...]
“It is the Lord Almighty who is ruling the world”
Posted in Quotes on February 22, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
The Lord God omnipotent reigneth. His government is exercised over inanimate matter, over the brute beasts, over the children of men, over angels good and evil, and over Satan himself. No revolving world, no shining of star, no storm, no creature moves, no actions of men, no errands of angels, no deeds of Devil-nothing in [...]
Please pray for the Desiring God blog

Every other week or so since June of last year I have written a blog posting at the Desiring God blog under the same banner as this blog, The Works of God. Usually I prepare something new. But I heard from more people than usual on my blog posting from a couple of weeks ago regarding [...]
Jesus controls everything
Posted in Quotes on February 20, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Nancy Guthrie writes helpfully and beautifully about Jesus. This quote is about life and death. If Jesus is in charge of life and death, we can rest in the knowledge that he’s in charge of everything else as well, like a life impacted by disability: Jesus himself controls life and death. This means that when [...]

This evil appears new. It is not.
Posted in commentary, News on February 29, 2012 | 7 Comments »
The headline was intended to provoke a response: After-birth abortion: why should the baby live? It worked. And it is a trap for those who stand against such evil. Obviously, real evil like this must be called out for what it is. But when we do so, we actually grant the writers greater standing and [...]
