"If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn’t rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead”

Planning. Patience. Perfect timing.

Established in 1797, it's one of more than 700 historic lighthouses still standing across the United States.

Fathers of daughters: You are the first man she loves. You will set the bar for what she expects from a man. You will define what masculine strength is about (provision and protection), and you are teaching her what God’s unconditional love feels like. You are actively resolving a thousand problems she never has to have because she had a good dad. You are important, and I am cheering you on.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

Joshua 2: "Rahab the prostitute"

Matthew 1: "Rahab, the grandmother of the Messiah."

God has the redemptive capability to change labels and rewrite stories for his purposes and our better.

My life changed when I realized discipline was just the highest form of self-respect. It’s choosing what you want most over what you want now. It’s keeping your word. It’s an act of service to your future self.

Jeanne Gibson, the beloved Rosie the Riveter, has died at the age of 100.

In the summer of 1944, at just 18 years old, Gibson left Minnesota and traveled by Greyhound bus to Seattle. There she became a welder at Todd Pacific Shipyards, helping construct destroyers for the Allied war effort. She worked the swing shift six days a week in the bitter waterfront cold, wearing flannel pajamas and wool long underwear beneath her heavy protective gear.

Gibson later moved to Juneau, Alaska, where she joined the Army Transportation Corps. She helped prepare manifests and loading plans for ships carrying supplies to the Pacific theater.

Her drive did not end with the war. After encountering discrimination in the workplace, Gibson pursued higher education at the University of California, Berkeley. She earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees, followed by a doctorate in educational psychology. She then taught in Berkeley public schools for 30 years. In her 40s she also learned to fly, earned a private pilot license, and joined the Ninety-Nines, an international organization of women pilots.

Gibson was among more than six million American women who entered home-front jobs during World War II. Known collectively as the Rosies, they built aircraft, ships, weapons, and other equipment while millions of men served overseas. In 2024 the Rosies were collectively awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for their contributions during the war.

Gibson continued sharing their history well into her final years, volunteering at Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park and encouraging young women to pursue their ambitions. Just days before her death on July 29, 2026, the park honored her with a Wall of Honor banner bearing her name and portrait.

From welding destroyers to earning a doctorate and learning to fly, Jeanne Gibson spent a century proving that women belonged wherever their ambitions could take them.

There is nothing sweeter than to know that we have peace with God.

Watch as @RCSproul reflects on this critical, yet often overlooked, benefit of our salvation in Jesus Christ.
