I had the pleasure of meeting Melinda Delahoyde a couple of weeks ago when she passed through town. She is the president of Care Net, a network of more than 1,100 pregnancy centers across the United States that are dedicated to helping pregnant mothers and saving babies from abortion. She also happens to be the [...]

Jason Meyer on Suffering: “My hope has not shifted.”
Posted in News on April 24, 2012 | 4 Comments »
Dr. Meyer, candidate for Associate Pastor for Preaching and Vision, was interviewed last week by Pastor Sam Crabtree. The very last question dealt with suffering, and I found his spontaneous response helpful. It is about five minutes. You can watch the entire 75 minute interview here.
Let’s do less of this, and more of that.

God’s sovereign goodness in all things, like trips and tornadoes
Posted in News, Prayer Requests on April 17, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Lord willing, I’ll be in Woodward, Oklahoma by this evening (Tuesday) to visit some friends. Early Sunday morning a tornado hit this small town and six people entered eternity, with more than two dozen injured and many homes destroyed. I’m not going because of the tornado; this trip was planned several weeks ago. But a [...]

Desiring God is sponsoring a conference on November 8, The Works of God: God’s Good Design in Disability. I hope you will consider coming! The easy answer as to why a conference on disability and the Bible is that God has a lot to say on the subject in his book – for his glory [...]

I was grabbing lunch and checked twitter and there it was: the first announcement of Desiring God’s disability conference on November 8. And tears immediately came to my eyes, and prayers of gratitude. I’ll have a lot more to say about it later. The next three days should be focused on our Jesus and what [...]

God-centered weddings are so encouraging! Dianne and I attended one yesterday. It was beautifully done. And they looked directly at suffering and God’s goodness. Yes, at a wedding! The young couple chose well for their Scripture readings, including Isaiah 43:1-7: But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed [...]

There isn’t anyone in the world who God has used more than Joni Eareckson Tada for families experiencing disability in the church. And she has stood against some of the great cultural evils of our day as well – abortion and embryonic stem cell research to name just two. So I was thrilled to hear [...]
