Obituary for his father, from David R. Buhl

I’m not sure if anyone down there will remember him, but I thought I’d send his obituary along anyway. My father, George S. Buhl, born in Philadelphia in 1916 went home to be with Our Lord on January 25th, 2011. He was the son of Lottie H. Buhl, who was a longtime member of Tenth Church. She died in 1977. He accepted Christ around the time he was 12 or 14 under the ministry of Donald Grey Barnhouse.

Insider's Report on Egypt

Over at Gospel Coalition, they've posted a helpful piece by Ramez Atallah, General Secretary of the Bible Society of Egypt, to guide our praying about the turmoil engulfing Egypt.

He starts with this interesting report: "Christians and Muslims have been united as never before defending their homes on overnight shifts (due to the lack of police security). This is resulting for many to make friends with neighbors they never knew, and there is a real sense of camaraderie, which we never had before" and goes on to describe some of the present hardships and suggests ways to pray. Well worth the read.
