Charles Spurgeon’s Profound Humility

article February 4, 2019

I love what Cody Cunningham has to say about the humility of Charles Spurgeon, one of my great heroes. I too read and really enjoyed Dallimore’s book on Spurgeon, one of my favorites as I was writing Spurgeon’s bio to introduce my book We Shall See God.

The Man Who Shared Jesus with Chuck Colson—and Changed Eternity for Him and Countless Others

article January 18, 2019

Earlier this month, Tom Phillips, who led Chuck Colson to Jesus in 1973, went to be with his Lord and Savior. I thank God for Tom having that role in the life of someone I deeply loved and admired—and who I really look forward to seeing again.

A Q&A with C. S. Lewis

article November 21, 2018

Tomorrow, November 22, 2018, is the 55th anniversary of the death not only of John F. Kennedy, but also of C. S. Lewis. If someone asked me which historical figures I’d like to hear answer questions, one of them would be C. S. Lewis. Providentially, he had such a session on April 18, 1944.

Charles Spurgeon and the Importance of Consistency with Scripture in Theology

article September 12, 2018

I think Charles Spurgeon comes as close as anyone I’ve read to articulating what Scripture as a whole reveals. Sadly, though I attended both a good Bible college and a good seminary, I never read Spurgeon or learned anything about him. I’d been a pastor for ten years before I discovered him, and then I couldn’t get enough of him.

Clothed with Strength and Dignity: a Video Remembering Karen Coleman, and an Invitation to Give in Her Honor

article July 18, 2018

Though you may not have known EPM staff member Karen personally, we think you’ll be touched by hearing what was shared at her memorial and learning how she served Jesus with all her heart. 

In Honor of Karen Stout Coleman, Beloved EPM Coworker and Friend

article June 15, 2018

On Sunday, June 10, at 10:45 a.m., Karen Stout Coleman went to be with Jesus. This amazing sister has been a dear friend to us, full of grace and truth in the face of hardships, never losing her wit and humor, quietly saying the funniest and wisest things. She is truly one of my heroes. 

Nine of My Spiritual Heroes

article April 16, 2018

I have only one Lord, but many spiritual heroes. Here are nine of mine. 

Billy Graham, George Beverly Shea, and Cliff Barrows: Three Faithful Men All Now with Jesus

article February 26, 2018

Last week, 99-year-old Billy Graham entered the presence of Jesus. In 1970, as a brand new Christian, I heard Billy Graham for the first time at a crusade in Portland, Oregon. His friend George Beverly Shea, the soloist who preceded Billy in song in Crusades over the span of nearly sixty years, sang How Great Thou Art. 

He Who Never Forsakes You Will Restore Your Soul

article February 23, 2018

I love the psalms, because of their beauty and because the wide range of emotions they contain grant us permission to express to God our honest questions, doubts, griefs, and despair. My friend Jon Bloom, board chair and co-founder of Desiring God, wrote about two back-to-back psalms and the powerful message their proximity expresses.

The Little Known Story of Olympian Eric Liddell’s Final Years

article February 12, 2018

One of my favorite movies of all time is the 1981 Chariots of Fire. It’s the only reason many people are familiar with Eric Liddell, the “Flying Scotsman” who shocked the world by refusing to run the one hundred meters in the 1924 Paris Olympics, a race he was favored to win.
