Nancy Guthrie has experienced deep suffering – and found Christ enough! You can watch some of Nancy and David’s story here, created by Joni and Friends.

Something solid to hold when the winds blow: a word from Nancy Guthrie
Posted in Quotes, Special Events on July 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Nancy and David Guthrie’s story is incredibly hard – the loss of two children to a fatal genetic syndrome. And God has turned it into a speaking and writing ministry that I find incredibly helpful: When the winds of sorrow and doubt and questions and pain were blowing the hardest in my life, there were [...]
Free Twin Cities Event: Imagining Personhood in Light of Limitations, Disability, and Suffering
Posted in Special Events on July 22, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Eugenics didn’t begin with Hitler or government agencies or Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood. It began in the universities of Britain, Germany and the United States. Long before infanticide of babies with disabilities became a government-sanctioned reality in the Netherlands, faculty at prestigious universities in the United States and Europe were arguing for it. So I’m grateful [...]

We returned from our vacation just in time to spend Saturday afternoon with some of our favorite people in the entire world: Bethlehem families experiencing disability. It was hot, very humid, and wonderful. Pastor Kempton lead a short devotion and prayer, which I foolishly did not video. How this man loves to open the Word [...]

Pastor Kenny Stokes – again! – recognized the God-granted value of children with disabilities during the dedication of children on Saturday evening. This section of his remarks is about a minute long. Pastor Kenny – ‘they are gifts!’ I am deeply grateful for pastors who intentionally and carefully recognize that not all children will be [...]

Joni Eareckson Tada is the Honorary Chairperson for today’s National Day of Prayer. Joni offered several specific things we can pray about today (and every other day, too!). For the National Day of Prayer, remember to intercede for all members of society, including the elderly, children and adults with disabilities. Let’s make the Gospel accessible to [...]
Born again to a living hope!

This Easter was one of contrasts with previous years. We attended the Sunday evening service for the first time. We experienced a wonderful worship team rather than the wonderful orchestra. The normal excitement and energy of a packed room was replaced with a more peaceful, less crowded time of worship. And no trouble parking! Last [...]

Read this book and participate in ‘table talks’ with Pastor John
Posted in Book Commentary, Special Events on March 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
After more than 26 years of being associated with Bethlehem, I can say that Pastor John’s preaching has been his primary influence on me. But a close second are his books. And of his books, Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist lays the foundation for all the rest that are to come. Through April [...]
