I enjoyed a Sports Spectrum article about Rams WR Cooper Kupp finding ultimate purpose in honoring God on his journey to the Super Bowl. It included two great short videos of Kupp being interviewed before the game.

The topic of anxiety, and the advice Doreen gives in her article, are timely. The Lord does not call us merely to release our anxiety to Him, but to willingly cast it upon Him—all of it. God wants us to trust Him in both the big things and the little things. I hope this article will encourage you to do so.

This article about work by Dan Doriani, the founder and executive director of the Center for Faith and Work St. Louis, and the author of Work That Makes a Difference, is excellent.

Nanci and I and Eternal Perspective Ministries have supported Desiring God for many years, and it’s one of those ministries we really believe in. This is a great article answer from John Piper.

Randy Alcorn talks about being a generous giver. He says, "Ask yourself, 'Five minutes after I die what will I wish I would have given away while I still had the chance?'"

This analogy from Trevin Wax is absolutely wonderful. May we be like the second dog in his parable, longing to be in our Master’s presence.

Randy shares some thoughts this Christmas season about what Christ has done for us. "Whenever we are tempted in our suffering, to say 'God, why did you do this to me?', let's look at the cross and say 'Lord, why did you do that for me?'. Your grace is so great." -Randy Alcorn

Last week I watched a video of a young woman, Shelby Houston, speaking at her father’s memorial service. Her dad, Officer Richard Houston, was shot and killed on December 3 in Mesquite, Texas while responding to a domestic disturbance. This clip from her message is so wonderful, so beautiful, it took my breath away. 

Randy spoke with John Rinehart on the Gospel Patrons Instagram. In this clip, Randy says, “Resurrected people living on a resurrected earth, for all eternity with the resurrected Jesus—what we will enjoy together is so far beyond this life. That is where an eternal perspective comes in as it relates to our PRESENT happiness; because we front load the realities of eternity into our life today.”
