A Tribute and Letter to J. I. Packer, Now with His Lord Jesus

article July 22, 2020

Last Friday, J. I. Packer, one of my favorite writers and favorite people, went to be with Jesus just five days short of his 94th birthday. I will always love that man. He had a huge impact on me, particularly through his books Knowing God and The Quest for Godliness.

Lessons from the Life and Ministry of Ravi Zacharias

article May 27, 2020

Author, speaker, and apologist Ravi Zacharias went home to be with Jesus last week. There have been several excellent tributes to Ravi, including an article by Sam Allberry sharing three lessons he learned from working with and observing him. May these be true of us, too, as we share about the good news of Jesus with others.

Mincaye Is Now with Jesus

article May 1, 2020

When I became a Christian at age fifteen one of the first stories I read was about the five missionary martyrs. As it did hundreds of thousands of others, this story inspired me and taught me that there is often a price to pay in order to spread the good news of salvation in Christ. Little did I know that many years later I would connect with the family members of three of those men, as well as one of their killers, now beautifully transformed.

article July 29, 2019

I really appreciated this video and article from Joel Beeke about seven things we can learn from the Puritans. Like them, may we be people of depth and substance, shaped by Scripture, focused on eternity and both humble and happy in Jesus.

article June 12, 2019

Last Friday, author and psychologist David Powlison went to be with Jesus. I love this brother. I met and talked with him only once, but I will never forget the sweetness of his spirit, and how I saw Jesus in him.

John Piper on the Apostle Paul, Suffering, and the Groaning of a Fallen World

article April 12, 2019

I love the apostle Paul, I love his God-breathed words in Scripture, and I love what he understood and said about suffering. And I love John Piper too—so it was a no brainer to feature this excellent article.

The Rich History of the Early African Church

article April 8, 2019

In my novel Dominion, I picture one of the characters, Dani, who is in Heaven, learning about the history of the black church. It’s a rich history, one that I think we all should celebrate.

What About Quoting from Someone You Disagree with in Some Areas or Who Had Personal Moral Failures?

article March 29, 2019

Over the years, I’ve been asked why I would quote from someone in my books or on social media when I don’t agree with them in every area. 

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.
