As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good. 2 Thessalonians 3:13 ESV In just the past 10 days, two different men let me know of two different babies who will be given the chance to be born. In both cases, the parents had discovered their unborn babies have significant physical issues. Please, do [...]

Do not treat God’s supreme creation with contempt, any of them.

From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength Because of Your adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; What is man that You take thought of him, And the son [...]
Someday, justice will reign for all the babies

It seems right on this national Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday to recognize that someday little black babies and little brown babies and little babies with disabilities of all colors will no longer be subject to the horror of abortion. It is a focused horror. I’ve covered the issue of abortion and babies with disabilities [...]
Where we can all point the blame for our sin

God used Paul Tripp to protect me from myself, again. It doesn’t really matter what the circumstance was, I was letting a situation dictate a growing scoffing, sneering, dismissive attitude. Then I read this: I still need to be rescued from me because as long as sin remains I’ll be drawn to desire, think, say [...]
As Christians, knowing isn’t necessary (and it’s ok to ask)

This past week, two men who pastor churches – one a veteran, the other in his first years – sent out information about their children. The little girl’s multiple issues are still a mystery, but probably genetic in nature. The little boy has an unknown and as yet undiagnosed issue that causes him to vomit [...]
Bitter or angry? APTAT

Dianne to me: the doctor’s office called and he wants to increase Paul’s meds to 8 ml morning and evening. Me: you’ve got to be kidding. What are they thinking? Backstory: Paul’s medications have helped control his seizures, until a recent five-day span when he had multiple seizures every day. Dianne has been trying to [...]
Sentiment won’t win the day, but it helps!

The response from Tuesday’s post on teaching the Bible to our severely cognitively impaired family members has been encouraging. And sobering. We really do live in a different reality than people who don’t know God through Jesus Christ. The idea that there is a supernatural joy given as a gift, among many gifts, from a [...]
Tempted to fear? APTAT

I’m going to blatantly steal from Pastor John the next couple of days, from his sermon The Word of God Is At Work In You. His closing remarks were very practically and particularly helpful: It helps me to have an acronym called APTAT. A — I admit I can’t in myself do what needs to [...]
Should we teach the Bible to those with severe cognitive disabilities?
Posted in commentary, Scripture, Sermons on January 10, 2012 | 36 Comments »
Pastor John’s message, The Word of God Is at Work in You, was exceedingly helpful to me and I commend it to you. As he made seven observations about the text, 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16, to open the sermon, observations 3 and 4 particularly caught my attention. 3. The Thessalonians heard the words of Paul. Verse [...]

Let them see disability everywhere
Posted in commentary, Quotes on February 5, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Russell Moore has a tremendous response to the outrage this week over Susan G. Koman Foundation for the Cure and Planned Parenthood in his Christianity Today article, The Pink Ribbon and the Dollar Sign. I was particularly grateful that he included disability: But what we have is greater than that. We have a word that tells [...]
