This is a story that I heard, but wanted more details on, so asked Stephanie to find them. I think you will be as touched by it as I was.
I first learned of Eliot Mooney maybe a year ago, but when someone else forwarded the video again recently, I thought it was time to feature it on this blog.
While we were unable to find any real pictures of Aggie or her family, I hope this story of God's faithfulness through the sacrifice of missionary couple David and Svea Flood will inspire you. 
I've been thinking of it in context of a big book I'm writing on the problem of evil and suffering. How many times has God had a purpose in events that seemed senseless at the time they happened? How many things that seem pointless now will later be seen to have a divine point?
Consider Joseph and his brothers who horribly betrayed him ...
Before I get to today's blog: If you've followed the news lately, you've probably heard about CBS's controversial decision to air a prolife commercial produced by Focus on the Family during the Super Bowl, telling the story of football star Tim Tebow and his mom Pam. (Read more about Pam's courageous decision not to abort Tim.) Good for CBS. And I hope they don’t cave in to the National Organization for Women who have recently launched an effort to call on CBS to drop the ad. To encourage CBS, you can send them a ...
Bob Hawkins Sr., founder of Harvest House Publishers and a real follower of Jesus, went to Heaven last Tuesday, February 9. (My most recent book, The Promise of Heaven, was published by Harvest House.) I met Bob Sr. years ago and thought the world of him, as did nearly everyone, I think. I am sorrowing with Bob's family and rejoicing with them, too.
His son Bob Jr. sent out an e-mail following his dad's death:
It is with much sadness, but also with greater joy, that I write this morning to inform you that my father, RH “Bob ...
The Heaven giveaway is now closed. Check back on May 12 for the next giveaway.
I’ve been looking forward to featuring Heaven as this month’s book giveaway simply because of the many wonderful reader responses to the book we’ve received such as this recent one:
On Valentine's Day 2007 my husband of 25 years died very unexpectedly on his 50th birthday. As you can imagine I was and still am devastated. His journey to our eternal home led me in search of a book so that I might study and become more knowledgeable about Heaven. At ...
The Heaven giveaway is now closed. Please check out the winners post to see if your name was drawn.
This month we’re giving away three signed copies of Randy’s book Heaven, which now includes a bonus small group study DVD in the back of the book.
The DVD is a great addition to Heaven. (It’s not available separately from the book.) It includes seven small group sessions (average length of 9-12 minutes) along with some study questions.
If you missed Randy’s recent blog on the DVD, be sure to check it out to watch a video ...
If you haven’t seen this video, it’ll make your day. I just watched it again as I took a brief break from final revisions on my book.
Think of it as God’s common grace at work in this world. In the midst of mundane pressures and cares, including yours and mine and those of commuters in Antwerp, Belgium, comes sheer delight. A gift. And all gifts are ultimately from Him, the Creator behind all that is creative, the Delight behind the delightful, the Good behind all goodness.
Let it remind you of God’s gifts, large and ...
This devotional is from Charles Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening: Daily Readings. There’s hardly any man outside of Scripture itself who speaks to me like Spurgeon does. I highly recommend Morning and Evening as a daily dose of great theology. You can also sign up to receive them each day by email.
“Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.”

You may have seen the video of Christian the Lion being reunited with two men who raised him as a cub. If you haven't, you're in for a treat. And if you have, you may want to watch again.
Those who follow me on Facebook might remember some pictures I posted at the end of last year, from a trip I took to Los Angeles to do some filming with Don Miller about my books Heaven and If God Is Good. That conversation has recently been released on a DVD called "Heaven: Understanding God's Plan and Our Hope," part of a DVD series called Convergence (www.allthingsconverge.com) that's designed specifically for small groups, but also great for individuals.
I love talking about deep truths, but enjoy personal interaction more than making presentations. The conversational tone of ...
