Have you ever read the classic children’s story Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? 

Randy Alcorn discusses Heaven, earth and an eternal perspective in this 6-minute clip from a podcast of The World and Everything in It, an audio news magazine produced by WORLD News Group, hosted by Nick Eicher and Joseph Slife.

God has a special love for children and desires for children of all cultures and nationalities to come into a relationship with Him through Christ. 

I appreciated these thoughts on gratitude from William Law (English cleric and theological writer, 1686 –1761), excerpted from his book A Serious Call To a Devout and Holy Life. 

I want to say something about the growing “Giving Tuesday” movement (yes, yet another new day, but this one with a higher purpose). 

I remember when our daughters were small, the importance of trying to convey even to really good kids that they are sinners, lost without Christ. It’s a delicate balance.

As powerful as the evil one is to tempt us, God is infinitely more powerful to deliver us and has given us in Christ all the resources we need to live godly lives.

Years ago Nanci and I went on a two-week vacation to California. We left the kids with friends and took off on what was going to be our greatest vacation ever. 

Concerning money and possessions, the Bible is sometimes extreme, sometimes shocking. When we come to Scripture, it’s for comfort, not for assaults against our worldview, right? Let God talk about love and grace, thank you. Let us talk about money and possessions—then do with them whatever we please.
