Congratulations: Congratulations to Thabiti Anyabwile and family on the birth of Titus Ezekiel. “He is my son. Having been a son for 30 years, I now know I’ve taken for granted what I meant to my father. I didn’t realize the sense of pride that welled in his heart when he called me ‘son,’ as he often did.”

Audio: Justin has details of some good deals on Christian audio recordings (including a free recording of “The Pilgrim’s Progress”).

Humor: From YouTube comes an important message for women.

Do you know who God says you are?

Identity matters for at least two key reasons. First, understanding our identity—our true God-given identity—is vital to understand why we exist and what we’re to do in life, as it is likewise essential for framing a fitting perspective of others.

For those reasons, I like to occasionally create what I have created here–a roundup of brief, random thoughts about Christian living.

Undermining the Bible

There is an entire sector of the publishing industry that is dedicated to undermining people’s confidence in the Bible.

Modesty Requires Looking Away

The plane reached the terminal in Recife, Brazil and the ground crew opened the door. I have been through more airports than I can count1 and find they all kind of blur together—jetways, corridors, escalators, luggage belts. But for some reason, I remembered this one from my previous visit. After exiting the secure area, I…

Those Who Sing Songs in the Night

Imagine that you are sitting in a prison cell. This is not some posh or even stark 21st-century prison cell, but a primitive Roman one. Your back is pressed against cold stones. Your stomach is aching with hunger. Your nose is assaulted by terrible smells. Your heart is filled with despair. You know your death…

Now’s the Time To Consider a New Year’s Resolution

The Bible says nothing about New Year’s resolutions. It does, however, say a lot about resolutions in general—about the determination and resolve to improve our character, to sharpen our habits, and to live better in the future than we did in the past. In other words, the determination and resolve to be more like Christ.
