By Shawn Lazar I was listening to a podcast by Paul Zahl entitled “A Disease I Do Not Have the Courage to Name.” The title comes from a now out-of-print book entitled My Son Is a Splendid Driver, set during the Great Depression. In it, the protagonist’s mother is given a deadly STD by her […]
By Shawn Lazar As a preacher and as a writer, I am always trying to find new and better ways to communicate the gospel of grace to the people who need it most. That brought me into contact with a ministry named Mockingbird (mbird.com). I came across them because they publish books by Paul F. […]
By Bob Wilkin A reader told me about a January 7 Insight for Living broadcast in which Chuck Swindoll talks about the time when Moses lifted up the bronze serpent, and those who looked on it were healed of the plague (Numbers 21). I just listened to the section in question, and it is fantastic. […]
By Ken Yates Years ago, there was a popular country song called “I Loved Her First.” It was about a young woman getting married. The song is from the perspective of the woman’s father.

By Lucas Kitchen Chapter 11, Eternal Rewards: It Will Pay to Obey. Available in the bookstore. I was speaking at a small church in South Texas one summer.

Hopeless, really. Here’s how Paul described them: And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses […]
Dear Shawn, I read with interest your article on “No More Scarlet Letters.” My question is why authors like you refuse to address, and why churches are slow to forgive, restore, and embrace sex offenders? [He gives examples of churches excluding sex offenders.] Dear Reader, Thank you for your letter. I think grace can, […]
A reader sent me an email about the passing of Pastor Tom Rodgers last year. Here is what he wrote: I believe you knew Tom Rodgers over in Wichita Falls, and I imagine you were aware of his passing recently. He and Reggie Coe were our pastors back in the early 1980s when we were […]
There are people within Reformed thought who are very concerned that a growing number of Reformed theologians and pastors are preaching justification by faithfulness, not justification by faith. A reader pointed me to an interesting article (originally a blog) entitled Sola Fide or Sola Fidelity? (See here.) It is by Wes White, a Reformed Pastor. […]
Over the last few blogs, I have been discussing each of the crowns mentioned in the NT. The reason I have done so is that...
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out (John 6:37). The...
