Cessationist trailer
Click below for the trailer of a great new documentary that takes on “cessationism,” the belief that the miraculous gifts of the New Testament have ceased happening. But have they?

John Piper: “life-changing moments come in sentences and paragraphs” (10-min read)
“What I have learned from about twenty years of serious reading is this: sentences change my life, not books.
