I'm thankful for this apology from The Gospel Coalition president Julius Kim, re the extract from Joshua Ryan Butler forthcoming book. Before I knew of other people's public reactions, I & multiple other Keller Center fellows had expressed serious concern about the article 1/5 thegospelcoalition.org/article/sex-wo…

In this episode of Front Row Seat, Kristen Wetherell and Kari Olson talk with Jani Ortlund about how pastors’ wives can respond with wisdom and Christlikeness to the expectations of others. thegspl.co/3Lt3Ekp

New article at the Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics. Its the fruit of what I've been reflecting on about modern despair over the last year or so. "Our work will be less like winning an argument and more like breaking a spell." thegospelcoalition.org/article/apolog…

C. S. Lewis, 1953 letter: "I'm a panic-y person about money myself (which is a most shameful confession) and poverty frightens me more than anything else except large spiders and the tops of cliffs." After Lewis died it was discovered that he gave away two thirds of his income.

I love my church. Reminded once again today what a gospel-warm and grace-filled place Immanuel Nashville is. I do not take that for granted.

Just hit 40K subscribers. When I started my channel, all I knew about cameras is they are black and you point them. Never imagined how meaningful YouTube would become. I am grateful. Thank you all. I hope my videos serve you and promote gospel assurance. youtube.com/@TruthUnites

We would love Oak Hill to become even more diverse! We have access bursaries that pay the tuition cost in full and up to 50% in living costs, means-tested. These bursaries are meant for women, ethnic minorities and/or those who come from disadvantaged backgrounds.

"Reason takes you to the diving board and even tells you when to jump, but it does not jump. Reason is like dating; faith is like marrying." Blaise Pascal

The ancients stared at the stars most nights. We stare at screens most nights. Stars make the world feel huge. They remind us we are tiny. Screens often make the world feel small. They make us feel connected to everything. I wonder how much this contributes to our anxiety.

"I was very EAGER to write to you about our common salvation, I found it NECESSARY to write ... to contend for the faith" (Jude 3) Celebrating the gospel should be a matter of eagerness; contending for it, a matter of necessity. For some Christians, sadly, it is the reverse.

For the next 4 days Crossway is making my book Deeper: Real Change for Real Sinners free as an ebook and audiobook for any Crossway+ members (which is free). Perhaps it would serve your growth and joy.

"Our culture is aching for kindness." Just a tremendous lecture from Gavin Ortlund at @SEBTSBushCenter. He delivered it a few months ago, but it's particularly timely as we begin a new year. cfc.sebts.edu/faith-and-cult…

As a student & now faculty member of Oak Hill I am full of gratitude for the huge impact this college has had on my faith, life, and ministry over the past 16 years. Interested to learn more about how the college might encourage and equip you likewise? Come to this Open Morning!

So struck by this language today: “… an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction among people” (I Timothy 6:4-5). Every word strikes me. Clearly this problem persists today.

I'm excited to be teaching an online cohort on arguments for Christianity. We will dive deep into these 6 topics, with a view to real conversations and the pressing questions of our culture. Lots of time for interaction. This will be fun! Join us here: thegospelcoalition.org/cohort/ancient…

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another" (Jn 13:34). Can't read that without thinking of my granddad, Ray Ortlund Sr, who lived it so well, and taught it the last time I ever heard him preach in '04.
