Good morning. Grace and peace to you. Today’s Kindle deals include books by Barnabas Piper and Leland Ryken. (Yesterday on the blog: Sorrowful Departures and Joyful Arrivals) Sin Is “Barbs In Your Eyes, Thorns In Your Sides” “Imagine a barb in your eye. A thorn in your side. Talk about painful. Debilitating. Something that hurts. That’s the picture God uses to warn the pre-land Israelites what it’ll be like if they don’t drive out the nations. The nations will be ‘barbs …
Like most major airports, Toronto’s Pearson International divides the arrivals area from the departures so that one is a level above the other. I have passed through both of them hundreds of times and have made this observation: The upper level is a place of sorrow while the lower level is a place of celebration. The upstairs departures area is distinguished by family members weeping and saying farewell, the downstairs arrivals area by family members waving and hugging and crying …
May the Lord bless and keep you today. There are a few more Kindle deals to browse through today. Will My Son Go to Heaven? Infancy, Disability, and Sovereign Grace That all those who die in infancy or with a severe cognitive disability go to heaven is by far the majority position among Christians, and in this article John Knight defends that position. (The next most common position is that the Bible simply doesn’t make it clear, so we should put our …
I hope that all of you who are at T4G this week are blessed and encouraged by the experience. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it for this one! Today’s Kindle deals include another good little list. (Yesterday on the blog: A Family Easter Update) If Ben Had Been There I love this one! Andrea imagines the resurrection if her son Ben had been there. “My son Ben has cognitive disabilities and very little language. But sometimes he intuitively understands what our …
This week the blog is sponsored by The Gospel Coalition and written by Collin Hansen. Are you feeling pressure to understand and engage with an ever-growing array of confusing and polarizing issues? Perhaps you’ve witnessed bitter arguments tearing your family, friends, or churches apart. You’re not alone. I feel it too. Every week I hear from confused and concerned Christians. They want less heat and more light. They want to stay focused on the gospel. They want to put their …
Easter weekend is always a special time in Canada, not least because both Good Friday and Easter are public holidays. Whether you celebrate Jesus, Passover, the Easter Bunny, or nothing at all, you get two days away from the hustle and bustle of normal life. In an era in which governments seem intent on tearing out the religious roots of our nations, I do wonder how long these distinctly Christian holidays will remain. But for now, at least, they are …

"There is no place where you may flee from God angry but to God reconciled. There is no place at all whither you may flee. Will you flee from Him? Flee unto Him." (Herman Bavinck)
"We have a Christian duty to encourage one another. Many a time a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept a man on his feet. Blessed is the man who speaks such a word." (William Barclay)
"In the darkest night of the soul, Christians have something to hold onto...Christ crucified." (D.A. Carson)
Grace and peace to you on this fine Easter Monday (which is a holiday in these parts). There is a very long list of Kindle deals available today. (Yesterday on the blog: Why Should We Try To Add One Stitch To a Finished Garment?) We Should Talk About Disney Trevin Wax tells how Disney’s current controversy is different from some other issues that appear similar. “In this case, it’s not about your Whopper with rainbow-colored wrapping, or the propriety of Pepsi taking a …

Easter is a day of acceptance, a day of completion, for on Easter God validated Christ’s atoning sacrifice by raising him from the dead. Yet despite the sufficiency of Christ’s work, we can so easily slip back into an old mindset in which we become convinced there is still something left for us to do. F.B. Meyer addresses this temptation in a wonderful bit of prose: We must accept the finished work of Christ. He has ceased from the work …
There are some more Kindle deals to browse through today, for those who are interested in such things. (Yesterday on the blog: Approaching the Tomb with Joy) Go to Funerals It’s good advice, this. “Let me encourage you to something: consider attending every funeral that occurs in your church’s life. And if you are a pastor, disciple your members to attend funerals.” The Art of Heavenly-Mindedness “Earthly-mindedness is to the mind what gravity is to the body—it is an invisible, powerful, and …
This week’s Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by Radius International. They are giving away a conference package that includes: 2 tickets, a Radius pullover, and 2 books.

This event will be live in person or available as a live stream. Kevin DeYoung, Alistair Begg, Ian Hamilton, Wayne Chen, Brooks Buser, Chad Vegas, and others from the Radius …
After a heartbreaking Friday and a sorrowful Saturday, a small group of women awoke early on Sunday. The first rays of the morning sun were just beginning to light the sky when they set out toward the tomb—the tomb where they had left Jesus’ body just two days prior. Each of the gospels tells the story for a slightly different purpose and from a slightly different perspective, but as we align the accounts we see that Mary Magdalene was there, …
I trust you are enjoying God’s grace as you prepare to remember Christ’s death and celebrate his resurrection this weekend. Today’s Kindle deals include at least a couple of interesting titles. Meat from the Sky and the Resurrection’s Plausibility “In 1876, a Kentucky grandmother was making lye soap on her front porch. Suddenly, an odd series of thuds in the field beside her house interrupted the silence of her labors. She sent her grandson out to see what was happening. …
Book Reviews
Grace and peace to you today, my friends. There are a couple of Kindle books on sale—one by Kevin DeYoung and one by John Stott. (Yesterday on the blog: 40 Random Pieces of Advice for the Christian Life) Was Jesus Punctual? I found this a very helpful cross-cultural look at punctuality. “The English phrase ‘don’t waste your time’ has an equivalent in Spanish: ‘no pierdas el tiempo’, which strictly translated means ‘don’t lose [the] time’. There is, nonetheless, a subtle difference …
Not every idea is worthy of an entire article. Hence, this one contain a long list of brief, random (and unsolicited) pieces of advice for living the Christian life, most of which I’ve gleaned from others over the course of the past 45 years. I hope there is something here that benefits you. When offering counsel to others, always carefully distinguish between what the Bible says and what is simply your best attempt to apply wisdom to a particular …
The Lord bless you and keep you today. There are a couple of Kindle deals today. Potentially of greater interest are this week’s deals at Westminster Books, which include a new book by James Hamilton. More Programs Train Complementarian Women to Teach Bible This is an interesting and positive development. “Preparing a message of biblical exposition isn’t a task confined to one gender, even for complementarians. So more programs are training women to teach with their own versions of the preaching classes …
The God of love and peace be with you on this fine day. Today’s Kindle deals include some excellent titles from Crossway. (Yesterday on the blog: When The Great Resignation Comes to Church) The Christian Veneer of a Sacred Journey “I’d suggest that one of the greatest risks to the Church in the modern west at moment is that we allow secular perspectives to be baptised and given the appearance of being Christian. The danger is profound because the veneer disguises …
We aren’t colleagues. We aren’t comrades. We aren’t neighbors. We are family. If we are to understand the nature of the relationship between believers, we don’t need to understand work, politics, or geography. We need to understand family. The Bible displays this truth in any number of ways. Together we call God “Father,” and if he is Father, then we are sons and daughters. We call Christ our elder brother, making us his siblings as well as one another’s. Young …
Good morning! Grace and peace to you. (Yesterday on the blog: To Plumb Depths that Have No Bottom) Does Romans 7 Describe a Christian? I’m surprised it took almost 1800 episodes of Ask Pastor John to cover this one. Freedom not to speak Janie Cheaney recounts a well-known tale from Acts, then says “The hysteria of crowds hasn’t changed much. I’m reminded of the Ephesian dustup after every widely reported campus disruption, like the one at Yale Law School on …
