Why I Believe in African Christian University

Dec 30, 2019

1 min read

I was recently given the opportunity to speak at the graduation ceremony of African Christian University, the second time I’ve been able to visit this new university in Lusaka, Zambia. Having visited twice, I believe in it more than ever. This short video explains what it is and why you should know about it. To learn more about African Christian University, visit acu-usa.com.

(This film is one of a short series I made during my recent trip to Africa. Please also watch Faith Children’s Village and stay tuned for two more.)

Have You Heard Of This Reformed Christian University in Canada?

This week the blog is sponsored by Redeemer University. Choosing a university amidst the rising cost of living, rapid technological advancement, a changing job market, and a polarized, increasingly secular cultural context can be a daunting decision for Christians. The world is also much noisier than it was for previous generations, oversaturated with messages urging…

If I Could Change Anything about the Modern Church

I have often been asked what I consider the greatest weakness of today’s church or what I would change about today’s church if I could. Such questions make for good discussion at a conference Q&A session but they are also pretty much impossible to answer in a compelling way. It’s not like any of us…

Why I Haven’t Written A Whole Lot about My Grandson

It has been two months since little Finnegan was born—two months since I became a grandfather for the first time. It only just occurred to me that I have said very little about this new reality, this new stage of life, this new member of our family.

Must You Read at Least One Spurgeon Biography?

I am not aware of a verse in the Bible that says every Christian must read at least one biography of Charles Spurgeon. Or every Calvinist, at least. But I also wouldn’t be completely shocked if it’s there somewhere and I’ve just missed it. And that’s because his life and ministry were powerfully unique in…

It is little wonder, then, that there are multitudes…

The Greatest Beauty I’ve Ever Seen

One of the great privileges of my life has been the opportunity to travel far and wide. While most of my travel has been related to either speaking at conferences or filming documentaries, my hosts have often invited me to deviate from the straightest course to explore and take in the area’s natural beauty. It’s…
