One of the things I really love getting in the mail is a new translation of one of my books. They’ve been translated now into over 70 different languages. It’s a joy to see what God is doing in other cultures with books that I’ve written.

In his great book The Knowledge of the Holy, A. W. Tozer says, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”

Many years ago I read Peace Child by Don Richardson. This great missions story had a strong impact on my life, demonstrating the power of the gospel in a primitive culture.

A reader asked me, “You say in a blog post that the most quoted verse these days is ‘Judge not.’ Can you give some insight into this verse? How do we know if we’re judging correctly or not?”

Dwight L. Moody once said, “We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity. For in prosperity, we forget God.” 

True, not every family is called to adopt or to provide foster care. But should the people of God as a whole be challenged to get involved and support other people in the body of Christ who are? I would say they absolutely should support not only those in their own church who wish to adopt or foster, but also those in other churches and other places.

Why have so many Christians historically shied away from creation care? I think the answer is that concern for the environment is generally regarded as part of the liberal agenda.  

People are made for the eternal and therefore cannot be ultimately satisfied by the temporal. 

I watched this video and was deeply touched by the happy outcome, and you will be too. It captures why we support the International Justice Mission.
