The world is ready to feed all kinds of destructive behavior wrapped in sweet words and kind sentiment. The Anglicans who were quoted yesterday would say they were being kind in letting ‘defective’ children die. The mothers who wrote articles on why they aborted or wish they had aborted their children point to the significant [...]

God’s love has been poured into our hearts!
Posted in Scripture on May 20, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
A word from the Apostle Paul on Jesus, suffering, and hope. There is no need for us to pretend we are strong or that we do not suffer. There is purpose in it all! Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we [...]
Very grateful for reminders about the bigness of God
Posted in Scripture on May 3, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
A great reminder for me that: God made everything, including those who live with disabilities. Human beings foolishly devise evil plans against God that won’t stand. God can do and will do everything he has always intended to do. We can trust God to respond to threats (of all kinds) and we can continue to [...]
Why Chen Guangcheng makes me think of the man born blind
Posted in commentary, News, Scripture on April 30, 2012 | 1 Comment »
As I write this, Chen Guangcheng is still reportedly at the United States embassy in China. He is famous because he has stood against a great evil in China: A self-taught lawyer, he has called attention to human rights abuses against the disabled and women who have been forcibly sterilized. In Crisis Over Dissident, U.S. Sends [...]

If you’re God’s child you don’t have to wonder about how your story will end because your future is sealed and secure in Christ. Paul Tripp God knows what he is doing, for his glory and for our good, for everybody of every ability. God knows the story of the lives of our children with [...]
Have no doubt, Jesus understands your sorrow
Posted in Scripture on April 5, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep [...]
Now that’s a way to put a wedding together!

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 [...]
Jesus asked them, “which is easier?”
Posted in Scripture on March 30, 2012 | 1 Comment »
In the account of the healing of the paralytic in Mark 2:1-12, Jesus first forgives the man his sins. Then he addresses the thoughts of the scribes directly: And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts? Which is [...]
There was quite a bit more to the list from yesterday.
Posted in Scripture on March 17, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
More things I found as I clean out the closet: The reference to healing from yesterday was part of a longer list (below) that grew to include more scripture which eventually I turned into an 18 page outline that still largely describes how I understand disability and the Bible today. I remember working on that [...]

“Michael!”

You’ve probably already seen this – its been viewed more than a million times and many people emailed it to me. It is still a great 2:32 seconds to watch again! (Note: this is a slightly longer version than has been showing up on CNN and other places.) Three highlights for me: 1) A dad [...]
