How online articles have huge reach in the world

I’ve written a number of online articles over the years for Desiring God, and some for The Gospel Coalition. Sometimes I’ve wondered how much difference they might be making, compared to the books I write. I found this video interesting and touching, showing how God can use one article to a great end—in this case, starting a quality Christian school in the inner city:

This reminds me of what John Piper says: “Books don’t change people, paragraphs do — sometimes sentences. …Paragraphs find their way to us through books, and they often gain their peculiar power because of the context they have in the book. But the point remains: One sentence or paragraph may lodge itself so powerfully in our mind that its effect is enormous when all else is forgotten.”

Here are a few articles from The Gospel Coalition related to our ministry or my books:
