The Advent of the Happiest Human in History

article December 2, 2020

Through the miracle of His incarnation, He made God visible to us: “No one has ever seen God. The one and only Son, who is himself God and is at the Father’s side—he has revealed him” (John 1:18, CSB). Yet God’s Son did not merely bring the grace, justice, peace, love, and truth of God with His arrival, but also His eternal happiness.

The Fall-Out Effects of COVID-19 Have Greatly Affected the Needy Worldwide; How Can We Help Them in Christ’s Name?

article November 30, 2020

That statistic on 130 million people being on the brink of starvation by the end of 2020 hits me hard, and as the months go on it gets more serious. I encourage you and your family to consider giving generously to some of the following ministries in their efforts to help alleviate suffering.

Thoughts on Flipping the Bible Open and Reading Wherever You Land (and Recommended Study Resources)

video November 27, 2020

I don’t normally do the “flip the Bible open and put my finger down” method of reading Scripture. However, I used to mock that practice, and I don’t anymore. It’s certainly not my usual way of opening God’s Word each day, but one real positive is that no matter what, you’re still going to end up in the inspired Word of God.

Giving Thanks to Jesus

article November 25, 2020

As it has been for many of you, 2020 has been a difficult year for Nanci and me for many reasons. But the more difficult the year, the more we need to take time to focus on giving thanks and praising our God of grace.

Encouragement for the Depressed from Charles Spurgeon

article November 23, 2020

During this global pandemic, depression and suicidal thoughts are on the rise. That makes the release of the short book Encouragement for the Depressed, with a sermon from Charles Spurgeon, timely.

Does Isaiah 65:17 Mean We Won’t Remember Our Previous Lives When We’re in Heaven?

article November 20, 2020

One of the questions I’m often asked about Heaven relates to Isaiah 65:17. A reader recently asked, “What does it mean ‘the former things will not be remembered nor will they come to mind’? Is this speaking about the old earth itself or are we not going to have any memories of the past including family, friends, talents, life?”

I’m Afraid I Committed the Unforgivable Sin. Will I Be Lost Forever?

article November 18, 2020

We have to remember that Satan is a liar (John 8:44). He wants to lead us away from Jesus and to make us doubt Him. So those doubts and fears and bad thoughts are not coming from the Holy Spirit. They are coming from the enemy of your soul.

Why You Should Think Twice Before Switching Churches Right Now

article November 18, 2020

I appreciate this article from Ivan Mesa, with four things to consider if you’re thinking about leaving your church right now. Of course, God can legitimately call people to leave a church and go to or even start another one, and that happened to us 43 years ago! My concern is with people prematurely giving up on their churches during this extraordinarily difficult season. I have been seeing the same thing happening and it’s a great concern of mine.

How Do I Answer the Claim That Fewer Abortions Occur under a Democratic President Than a Republican One Because of Their Policies?

article November 17, 2020

I am in a discussion with a pro-choice proponent who is arguing that fewer abortions occur under a democratic government than republican due to funding for birth control, and that neither party wants to see abortions increase. How do I answer this argument?

The Holiday Season, and Precious Times with Our Kids and Grandkids

article November 16, 2020

Last December, in that pretty normal year called 2019, our daughter Karina Franklin and her family flew up from California to join Nanci and me along with our daughter Angela Stump and her family. Because of this weird season of COVID that began less than three months later, that was the last time our whole family was together.
