I’ve known Christian parents who wish their teenagers wouldn’t watch R-rated movies, wish their daughters wouldn’t wear suggestive swimsuits and prom dresses, and wish their sons wouldn’t tell dirty jokes, put certain posters on their walls, or listen to music that glorifies immorality.

This love is much, much, much better than unconditional! Perhaps we could call it “contraconditional” love.

Tomorrow, May 31, is Nanci’s and my 50th wedding anniversary. I thank God for His faithfulness and the time we had together. I’m so grateful for how Nanci put up with me for all those years, and for being not only my wife, but also my best friend and my closest sister in Christ. I keep thanking God for her partnership and companionship in the gospel.

By all means we should strive for success when it comes to saving the innocent. But, as Mother Teresa has reminded us, “God does not call us to success, but faithfulness.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 gives us the perspective we so desperately need: https://t.co/1Ak3vKfY1a

The abortion issue is ultimately not decided in Washington, DC, but in our communities, neighborhoods, and churches. For every woman considering abortion, a nearby Christian could influence her thinking and give her encouragement and support to do the right thing. https://t.co/WQI4NvixPF

Attempts to find our worth in the eyes of others bring other temptations, especially pride. “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). When we live for others’ approval, we’ll eventually stop seeking to hear God’s “Well done.”
