We can’t coast along in the Christian life just because we experienced victory in our younger decades. We must stay on guard, since Scripture’s command doesn’t come with an expiration date: “Flee from sexual immorality” (1 Corinthians 6:18).

It’s exhilarating, even worshipful, to be immersed in a God-made world normally beyond our reach. Years ago, while snorkeling in deep water with one of my daughters and some friends, we suddenly heard the melodic sounds of whales. We floated nearly motionless as the sounds grew louder and louder.

This issue includes: "God's Providence in Joseph's Story—and in Ours" by Randy Alcorn, "Why Christians Don't Share the Gospel" by Greg Stier, "Joy to the (Grieving) World by Clarissa Moll," and more.
