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.

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.

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