Revelation talks about the marriage of the Lamb, between Christ and His bride (Revelation 19:7). This bride is made up of His collective people, who are “from every nation, tribe, people and language” (Revelation 7:9). Therefore, the New Jerusalem will be the dwelling place of all believers, not just those who are ethnically Jews and have trusted Jesus.

In Scripture, yes, we see that names often had a prophetic meaning, and in biblical times parents named their children with a meaning in mind. In today’s world, names are chosen for a variety of reasons, and often not just meaning.

Last month, The New York Times ran a feature story about Maddi Runkles, a high school senior and straight A-student at a private Christian school in Boonsboro, Maryland, who became pregnant. 

In an earlier blog, Stephanie Anderson, on our Eternal Perspective Ministries staff, told the story of her disabled son Isaiah who died before his birth. Here Steph speaks of her beloved sister Tricia, who had a different disability. When she speaks of God’s sovereignty in birth defects, she speaks with an extraordinary amount of experience and insight.

Stephanie Anderson is part of our staff at Eternal Perspective Ministries. When Steph recently lost her baby Isaiah, after receiving a prenatal diagnosis of Trisomy 18, Nanci’s and my hearts were deeply touched.

Readers of my blog are likely familiar with the controversy surrounding the undercover videos from The Center for Medical Progress, which I posted about last year. I hope you’ll read today’s blog to get an update on David, who led the investigation, and consider how you can help by continuing to share the truth about Planned Parenthood and the evils of abortion.

You’re absolutely right that the sovereign and omniscient Lord is aware of everything that transpires on earth, in both the lives of believers and unbelievers.

"We Western Christians are tempted or deceived into confusing God with Mammon, and freedom of religion with freedom in Christ." —Eric Foley, Voice of the Martyrs Korea

For those of us in the Western world, the idea of being a refugee—of being forced to flee your home under threat of persecution, conflict, and violence—is unthinkable.
