The following letter was written by Pastor Wang Yi, who along with his wife and over 100 members of his church was arrested by Chinese authorities earlier this month. This is not just good for information on persecution in China—it also models a radical commitment to Christ that we, certainly I, can learn from.

My long-time friend Mart Green, of the Green family that owns Hobby Lobby, is the founder of Mardel Christian Stores and heads up the missions organization Every Tribe Every Nation. I thought this was a wonderful article he wrote (and not just because he mentions my books). Investing in eternity is what makes our lives count forever.

We need to explain to our unbelieving friends that it makes no sense at all to reject Jesus because some of His followers, including us, can sometimes be hypocritical. What, after all, is the gospel all about? Is it about us? No! 

I’ve been reading a great new book by Paul David Tripp titled Come Let Us Adore Him. Though by the time you read this it will be too late to get the book for Christmas, I suggest you buy it and just pay no attention to the dates December 1-31! I read the December 2 entry in this blog on December 18 and it meant just as much to me then as it would have on the 2nd.

Last month, prolife speaker Ryan Bomberger became the center of controversy when the student body president, vice-president, and the executive VP of community diversity at Wheaton College wrote a letter saying his on-campus presentation made people, minorities in particular, feel “unsafe.”

Last month, 20-year-old Isabella Chow, a student senator at the University of California, Berkeley, became the center of a controversy when she chose to abstain from a pro-LGBTQ vote.

However, the talk about the serious sin of plagiarism has helped cultivate a suspicion that’s sometimes unhealthy. The following incident illustrates how easily an unintentional mistake can happen in the process of writing a book.

Even many children in Christian families don’t see their parents give and are not taught and encouraged to give themselves. So they become keepers and accumulators, and essentially self-preoccupied materialists.

The miracle of the cross was made possible by the miracle of the incarnation. The angels must have been stunned to see the second member of the triune God become a human being.

Several friends have recently had their close loved ones die. I appreciate these five points from Vaneetha Rendall Risner, a dear sister who has experienced much suffering, on how to minister to others in need. 

Kathy Norquist, who served with our ministry for over two decades, retired from Eternal Perspective Ministries this past September. Many of you who have been touched by EPM over the years have come to know and appreciate Kathy.

By a miracle of grace, Jesus touched me deeply, gave me a new heart, and utterly transformed my life. Forty-nine years later, He’s still unveiling Himself and changing me into His image and likeness.

Over twenty-five years ago, on nine occasions I participated in peaceful, nonviolent civil disobedience, briefly going to jail (my longest incarceration was only two days) for what was an extremely unpopular cause—speaking up for unborn children. Even my brief time there gave me a much greater heart for prison ministries like Prison Fellowship.
