Materialin e mëposhtëm e kam zhvilluar dhe e kam paraqitur për shumë vite te të rinjtë dhe prindërit e tyre. Kur vajzat e mia, që tani janë të martuara, ishin adoleshente, e përsosa edhe më tej për ta ndarë dhe diskutuar me to dhe me djemtë e rinj që kërkonin t’i takonin.

For all the years I’ve been writing I’ve known “content creators” who research and write on behalf of celebrities or pastors, without their names being recognized as the author. This is a moral problem for both the celebrity and the ghostwriter.

Ek het oor etlike jare die volgende materiaal saamgestel en aan baie jongmense en hul ouers aangebied. Toe my dogters, wat nou al getroud is, tieners was, het ek dit verder verfyn vir die deel en bespreking met hulle en die jong mans wie gevra het om met hulle uit te gaan.

There is a radical difference between true human intelligence that uses a tool, and artificial intelligence that can become a poor substitute for what it means to be created in God’s image.

G. K. Chesterton (1874–1936) has been widely credited with saying, “Jesus promised His disciples three things—that they would be completely fearless, absurdly happy, and in constant trouble.” It might be argued that most Western Christians aren’t any of these three—least of all “absurdly happy.”

Many people distrust organized religion but love animals and the natural world. They don’t know God, yet they cherish what He created. They catch glimpses of Him in nature (Romans 1:19-21). Their love for animals flows from being God’s image-bearers and can be a bridge to the gospel.

The climax of Revelation 21:4, when God wipes away all tears from every eye, could not happen without the billions of tears shed because of the evil and suffering we’ve endured (and inflicted). It could not happen had Jesus not borne it on the cross for us.

Over the years, I’ve learned not simply to think less of myself but to think about myself less. When I’m thinking most about Jesus, not me, I’m most happy.
