Isaiah’s Mission Trip – This is sweet: “Isaiah is probably the only seven-year-old who loves to watch sermons on his iPad. One of his favorites is the John Piper video podcast. He’ll pull them up all by himself and just sit there and watch them over and over again. One day I asked him why he like to watch sermons so much, and he just smiled and said ‘happy’.”

Subscribe to Tabletalk – Canadians are now able to take advantage of an offer Americans have had for a long time: a free 3-month trial subscription to Ligonier’s Tabletalk magazine.

—C.H. Spurgeon

  • The Revelation We All Still Await

    Is God’s Revelation Complete?
