Dear Friend,

I hope this finds you in good heart and in no way overwhelmed by preparations for Christmas.

Dear Friend,

I haven’t checked, but I will not be surprised to discover that the content of my letter written four years ago on the threshold of the US election was not dissimilar to this letter, particularly in seeking to declare, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns” (Rev. 19:6).

Dear Friend,

I just returned from the SING! Conference, hosted by my friends Keith and Kristyn Getty. Part of my responsibility was to encourage pastors like myself to take seriously our role as it relates to the singing of the congregation. We considered how the twelfth verse of Hebrews 2 should guide our thinking: “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”

It seems like only yesterday that we were enjoying Memorial Day parades and looking forward to summer. Now here we are: the school runs have returned, and already Labor Day is in the rearview mirror. Furthermore, the general election is fast approaching, and the tension in the country is building.

Dear Friend,

It happens to me every year on the Fourth of July: I find myself torn between the country of my birth and my adopted homeland. The first thirty-one years of my life were spent in the UK, but in many ways, the past forty-one in the US have actually deepened my ties with family and friends who still live on the opposite side of the Atlantic.

Dear Friend,

The United Nations represents itself as “the world’s only truly global organization”—one committed to “peace, dignity and equality on a healthy planet.” There is good reason to challenge that claim and to question the organization’s ability to achieve its objective. The UN came into existence in October 1945 to maintain international peace. Seventy-nine years later, we are living in a broken world where strife and disorder among people and nations is arguably worse than at any other point in history.

Dear Friend,

It happened again last week when I was speaking at a function in Denver: several people introduced themselves to me as Truthpartners. It gave me the opportunity to thank them and let them know the significant impact their partnership is having not only in the US but also around the world.

Dear Friend,

I hope this letter finds you in good heart as spring arrives, bringing with it fresh evidence of God’s promise in Genesis 8:22. (Look it up.) For many of us, it is a long-anticipated day when the clocks change and we “spring forward.” We then discover that during the dark days of winter, a great deal has been happening unseen, laying the groundwork for the appearance of crocuses, green leaves, and the colors of the season.

Dear Friend,

A few days ago, I awoke with the lyrics of a seldom-sung hymn, “Though Troubles Assail,” at the forefront of my mind. Hymns are a frequent companion, and relevant lyrics often rise to the surface without much conscious thought.
