A few days ago I received the sad news of the impending divorce of some friends we have known for many years. Because we haven’t seen them in a long time, we didn’t have a hint of any trouble in their marriage. The crisis seemed to come out of nowhere. Understandably, family members are struggling with the news and trying to help any way…

A few midweek items of interest . . .*If you are an AOL subscriber to the sermon list, you haven’t received the last two sermons because AOL has decided to block the sermons using their antispam software. This sort of thing happens routinely and those of us who don’t send out spam work hard to prevent it. We’re working on a soluti…

During a few free moments on Thanksgiving Day, I read most of Quiet Strength by Tony Dungy, head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. If you are a football fan, you will certainly enjoy this book. And since Christmas is not far away, you might want to buy this for the sports fan in your family. There is much to commend about Tony Dungy’s approach…

Several years ago when I made a list of My ten Favorite Hymns, I ended up putting “And Can It Be” in the top spot. This great hymn by Charles Wesley was largely unknown in the U.S. until the Billy Graham crusade at Harringay Arena in London in 1954. Later the Graham team used the hymn in many American crusades and made it famous. This p…

This morning I decided to find a version of “Count Your Blessings,” a gospel song written in 1897 by Johnson Oatman and published in a collection called Songs for Young People. As I perused YouTube and GodTube, I found several other songs by the same name, including the one made famous by Bing Crosby that includes the famous line, &ldqu…

I think I got my first letter from her six or seven years ago. It came in response to my book An Anchor for the Soul. I’m not totally sure how she got her copy, but I think someone gave it to her, and after reading it, she wrote to say thank you. Over the years I have received a number of letters like that. Someone reads a book I wrote, write…

I’m posting music videos as we make our way toward Thanksgiving Day. Yesterday it was a medley of Thanksgiving hymns. Today I decided on “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah,” a beloved hymn that is perhaps not sung as much today as a generation ago. But this famous Welsh hymn (sung to a tune called “Cwm Rhondda”) deserves t…

Often we are too flippant about God’s protection, as if we were in charge of everything. “What happened today?” “Nothing.”But think of what didn’t happen. No one robbed you. No one shot you. You weren’t fired. You arthritis didn’t flare up—or if it did, you made it through the day. A truck didn&…

Check out this video of Fernando Ortega doing a beautiful version of “All Creatures of Our God and King.” I love the nature video that brings the words and music to life. Watch this, sing along, and prepare your heart for worship this morning….

This morning I spent an hour on WMBI-FM in Chicago with Nancy Turner. When we arrived at 9:50 AM, I had no idea what we would be talking about. We settled on a topic at 9:55, and once the program started at 10, we never touched the topic. We ended up talking how to deal with the fear that seems to be gripping so many hearts right now.Here’s a…
