    October 20, 2026

The allegation is based on a tendentious interpretation of thin evidence and shouldn’t have seen the light of day. You can read the column here: “When journalism crosses a moral line: A recent article on Elisabeth Elliot is way over that line” – WORLD Opinions

    He Loved Them to the End – John 13:1-17

    October 18, 2026

    What kind of love gives up, abandons, and seeks its own whenever things get difficult? The apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians that love “bears all things… endures all things. Love never fails” (1 Cor. 13:7-8). But what kind of love doesn’t bear anything difficult, doesn’t endure any tragedy, fails in the face of a spouse’s chemo and cancer and disease? What kind of love enjoys all of a spouse’s blessings and health but puts a stiff arm up to a spouse’s trials and suffering? And then says, “I need companionship, and your suffering just doesn’t fit into my plans for my happiness.” What kind of love is that? I…

    On the 25th Anniversary of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks

    September 11, 2026

    I’ll never forget where I was on September 11, 2001. My wife and I were in our second year of marriage, and we were living in Louisville, Kentucky while I was working on my Ph.D. On the morning of the attacks, I had a seminar later that day, and I was in our apartment when she called me from her work to tell me to turn the television on.
