At the moment, many people are facing the prospect of death due to COVID-19. In this hour-long webinar, I join Scott Brown and Christopher Bogosh to talk about what the Bible says about death, how Scripture is the banner of truth on all matters relating to death and dying, and how death must be faced—and will be faced—by every living person.

A foot of stunningly beautiful snow blanketed Michigan over the weekend. The seminary was closed on Friday. Above is a picture of the seminary from the back through the woods and two more pictures below from the woods behind our home next door—one being of a robin. For some unknown reason a number of robins did not migrate south this winter.

God’s beautiful handiwork is simply amazing. Pictures cannot do it justice. Mary and I love Michigan’s four seasons!

May God blanket you with the white-robed righteousness of His Son. “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow” (Isa. 1:18).

I am grateful to be able to announce that Reformation Heritage Books has just released another book in Simonetta Carr’s much-loved “Christian Biographies for Young Readers” series—this one being on the famous slave-turned-poet Phillis Wheatley, who became the first published African American. What a gripping story this is of God’s amazing grace—a great read for children aged 7-12 as well as for the entire family in family worship. Well done, Simonetta!

Congratulations to our first born, Calvin Beeke, who turned 30 today. Your mother and I love you so much, my son—more than you can know. I pray that now that you have joined the ranks of middle-aged men (30-60!), God will continue to conform you to Christ so that you will increasingly grow in hating sin, loving the triune God, and cultivating holiness. I wish you and your dear Laura and precious children every blessing in Immanuel for this life (see Heb. 12:1-2) and for a better life to come (see Rev. 21), and pray that we may all enjoy many more years together as a family. May God’s benediction continue to rest upon you personally, upon your marriage and family, and upon your work in society and in the church as deacon.
