Assurance means more than being sure, even though that’s its root word. It refers to a certainty, but also to a pledge or a promise. For me, this sheds new light on Fannie Crosby’s old familiar hymn, Blessed Assurance. I grew up singing it in church and playing it on the piano alongside my grandmother.

Tuesday's Olympic games brought us an emotional display of love, as Canada's Joannie Rochette skated her short program just two days after her mother's unexpected death. Therese Rochette was just 55 years old. I do not know of Joannie's faith, or of her hope, but I can tell something of her love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 says, "But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest o...
