    Tish Harrison Warren gives a beautiful picture of Tim Keller in his generosity. This was the life he lived consistently. Read more

  • Pentecost Sunday

    Almighty God, on this day, through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, you revealed the way of eternal life to every race and nation: Pour out this gift anew, that by the preaching of the Gospel your salvation may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns… Read more

  • The heartache and beauty of the last few years
