To my brothers and sisters of color: the double-standard on display yesterday was heartbreaking, infuriating, and shocking. I know you weren't shocked, and I'm sorry that I was. Wept with you this morning. Come, Lord Jesus.

- Hey, folks! Wanted to let you know that my event at Asbury in Kentucky later this week is being rescheduled. The revival that's unfolding there now is far more important. If ever there was a good reason to postpone a show, this is one.
- Just found out that between YouTube & Facebook, "Is He Worthy?" now has +1,000,000 views. But I also just got an email that said it was being sung in Damascus by Syrian Christians suffering from the war. Numbers don't matter, but I praise God that this song has traveled so far.
- "I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend." --Faramir in THE TWO TOWERS. Very grateful for those who have defended the peace I enjoy today.
- I’m grieving the loss of a dear friend this week. So many have said so well what great sadness we feel. I‘m grateful, but I’ve been speechless, gutted. But here are a few words I wrote to remember Thomas McKenzie: my pastor, my priest, and my friend. rabbitroom.com/2021/08/a-reme…
- God bless Texas. I always think of what Mr. Rogers said when kids see bad things on the news: "Watch all the people who are helping."
- The late J.I. Packer sat on the front row at a @laitylodge concert I did years ago. Afterward, when I thanked him for listening, he answered, in his perfect Old British Scholar voice, "You have a flair for your kind of songs, and, well, I thought they were tops." Loved him.
- At last, the official poster for season one of the Wingfeather Saga!
- No, they did not take his life--he laid it down. And the chains of death could never hope to hold him, so in the night my hope lives on.
- When our kids were babies, we dedicated them to the Lord's keeping. That became very real about an hour ago when we dropped Skye off at the airport for her trip to Africa and I knew I wouldn't see her for two months. If you need me I'll be over here in a fetal position.
- My friends, my allegiance is to Christ and his Kingdom. None other. I’m not always right, but in the words of Rich Mullins, Scripture reminds us that God is right and the rest of us are just guessing. I agree with every word of this:This is not about politics. This is about our country, about the rule of law, and about the sanctity of human life. russellmoore.com/2021/01/11/the…
- Well, this kind of blew my mind. I thank God for you all making this happen. I imagine Robert Plant looking up from his LOTR and saying, “Who the dickens is this Peterson chap?” ift.tt/2Hlt5nk
- Thanks for all the kind words about the "Is He Worthy?" video and song, folks. And for those of you who were grieved by the lack of diversity, an apology: rabbitroom.com/2018/03/waking…
- Please, please go see A HIDDEN LIFE. I've never seen a film that was so spiritually edifying, so full of longing, so convicting, or so beautifully made. You may not be used to Malick's art house style, but I urge you to go. Read this.
