I’m often asked for advice on writing. I appreciate Trevin Wax as a brother, and I like his ten favorite quotes on writing. I hope you enjoy them too.

Retired NFL player Benjamin Watson is husband to Kirsten and father of seven precious children. He recently wrote an excellent opinion piece in Newsweek titled “To Address America's Declining Birth Rate, We Need a Culture of Life.”

When I really love a book, I tend to either read it quickly or slowly. In the case of Dane Ortlund’s excellent Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers, I have been reading it very slowly. I find I’ve underlined most sentences on a number of pages! Here’s one of many small portions of the book I have appreciated.

I was interviewed earlier last week on Seth Gruber’s podcast UnAborted. Watch or listen to our conversation, which includes some stories I haven’t shared before in an interview, about my family’s prolife history, Frank Peretti, and the Lovejoy abortion clinic in Portland, which recently closed after 50 years.

In this following video, Randy Alcorn is interviewed by Seth Gruber on the Unaborted show. They discuss Randy's prolife  work over the years. 

"I believe that by caring for animals we are also caring for humans. We are providing them with God’s gift of emotional support and friendship through taking care of their pets. Do you think God approves of careers in veterinary medicine?"

First and foremost, I look forward to being with Jesus, my Lord and Savior and best friend. To be in His presence, to listen to Him and walk with Him…nothing could be better than that.

My friend Josh Howeth is pastor of Gresham Bible Church, a wonderful fellowship near us, which our daughter Angela and her family are part of.  Josh recently sent these words to his church. I share his deep appreciation for Amy Carmichael, so I asked him if I could pass them on to you.

I love this four-minute video from Russell Moore answering the question, “Why should Christians speak with kindness?” I think this message is more important right now than at any other point in my lifetime.

I read with interest a recent opinion piece by Alexis McGill Johnson, Planned Parenthood’s current president and chief executive, which says, “We must reckon with Margaret Sanger’s association with white supremacist groups and eugenics.”

If being a “secondary issue” means it’s not essential to someone’s salvation, then it is certainly secondary. However, it is not secondary if by that we mean unimportant.

Not long ago a reader shared a profound comment in reply to a post on my Facebook page. This is one of the most powerful stories we’ve received from readers of the Heaven book.

Do people in Heaven see what’s happening on earth, and do they remember? Here’s a video answering this.

How to handle sin in a God-honoring way isn’t often clearly addressed in the church. So what steps should I take in order to deal with sin? First, I must admit my sin to myself. I need to call sin what it is: sin, not just a mistake or a little slip.
