"We're saying here in New York, women's decisions matter." — NY Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins | Yes, NY women are being given unprecedented decision making power to determine whose lives matter. No one else is granted such sweeping power to kill at will.

You are not your own. Your body isn't yours (1 Cor. 6:19–20). Do you believe that—really? It's not hard to tell. The remedy when our functional beliefs don't match our doctrinal beliefs. ow.ly/TrAV30nmCq5
You Are Not Your Own

A strange thread runs through the most prominent women associated with Jesus: they are all women of, shall we say, ill repute — mostly due to sexual scandals. What does this say about Jesus? An awful lot. ow.ly/aDm430mTgfO

This is an excellent and very needed book. It's about sexual sanity in a world that has unhinged sexuality from spiritual and biological realities and loaded it with a weight it is not designed to bear. Thank God for Christopher Yuan!

My book is out today! My hope is that it will be a blessing to the body of Christ and not only help people bring clarity in a world of toxic confusion, but also unabashedly point people to the power of the gospel! amazon.com/dp/0735290911

Must we be thankful to God? Yes, but not that kind of must (HT: E. J. Carnell) God does not coerce thanks out of us with threat. He draws it out with pleasures. Ours is the sweetest of obligations. ow.ly/sFW030mI1Xc

Jesus said, "Pay attention to what you hear" (Mark 4:24). Why? Because everything hangs on how well we pay attention to what he says. How do we know if we're paying attention? ow.ly/eZM130mpQjF
Distraction Can Cost You Everything

Distraction Can Cost You Everything

If we do not pay close attention to what God says, we will eventually drift away. Distraction can cost you the kingdom.
