On the one hand, we should be acutely aware that every candidate is imperfect. We will be voting for a president, not a pastor, and certainly not a Messiah. 

I appreciated this passage from a sermon by Charles Haddon Spurgeon entitled "Daniel Facing the Lions' Den."

I shared briefly on Facebook what happened a couple of days ago, but wanted to blog about it now and add quite a few other thoughts and links.    

The first marriage had no paper license and no human community witness. God was the witness to the union of two souls.

Last month I received this letter from a 10-year-old Canadian boy named Christian. He had read the Courageous novel and wanted to share with Alex and Stephen Kendrick and me what he had learned from it.  

“Like birds hovering, so the LORD of hosts will protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver it.” (Isaiah 31:5)  

The recent report of Billy Graham being taken to the hospital with the possibility of pneumonia prompted me to think of one of Billy’s closest friends, who is ten years older.  

I think we will celebrate the birth of Christ in Heaven for all eternity. How could we not celebrate His incarnation? Certainly we will celebrate—though celebrate doesn't seem quite the right word—the triumph of the resurrection of Christ. 

In this 24-minute audio, Randy talks with Wayne Shepherd and shares, among other things, his story of coming to faith in Christ.

Darren Carlson tells a story that captures the game that is often played by the medical community— depersonalizing the unborn child by semantics, so that abortion becomes a viable option.

Recently, I retweeted a quote from John Piper. He wrote, “So much deep, heart-wrenching sorrow of regret among  60 somethings. I plead with you under 40: Preempt this!” I believe Piper's point is just another way of saying live wisely today, and you will save yourself from regrets.

Over the years, a number of people have told me, “We shouldn’t think about Heaven. We should just think about Jesus.”

Do you think the time is ripe for men to receive the message of Courageous?  I really do. I think there are a lot of men in this culture who are just waiting to be challenged. In my experience, whenever men’s ministries in churches have challenged men to be godly men, there are many who step forward. But there are numerous churches that simply need a tool that can be used to make that challenge.
