Here’s a beautiful version of “Give Me Jesus” recorded by Fernando Ortega as a tribute to Ruth Graham. If you need to steady your soul after a hectic week, watch this video and let its truth wash over your soul….
**I’m writing this note from our hotel room in Birmingham, Alabama. We drove over from Tupelo this afternoon so we could have dinner with Nick and Elizabeth. Tomorrow we plan to visit the Alabama State Fair in nearby Pelham–if it ever stops raining. It seems like we’ve had rain for two weeks, and the current forecast calls for mor…
I am finally back in my hotel room after the most amazing Wednesday night service I’ve ever attended. Earlier this evening I spoke to about 150 people at the Couples Class at Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida. As soon as we were finished, Pastor H. B. Charles, Jr (you should check out his blog) hustled me upstairs so…
The other day I received a newsletter in the mail from the First Baptist Church of Russellville, Alabama. That in itself is not a remarkable event since I’ve been receiving those weekly newsletters for 39 years. And I suppose during all that time I’ve never given much thought to it, but each week, regular as clockwork, the First Baptist…

In my spare moments I loved to watch the huge carpet machines at work. As I stood in the back I could see huge spools of yarn—dozens of them, of every conceivable color—s…

I received a letter from a friend in Florida who wrote to tell me about an unexpected change of plans in his life. Suddenly his future was not as certain as he thought it was. To make things worse, the change of plans was not definite. Things might change or they might not. But he wouldn’t know for a few months so he couldn’t do anythin…
Just a note to let you know that I’ll be on “Today’s Issues” on American Family Radio with Tim Wildmon and Marvin Sanders from 11 AM-12 Noon CDT. At the moment I don’t know exactly what we’ll be discussing, which means it will probably be a bit of Bible Potpourri, a little of this and a little of that. Most we go…
Last Sunday I received a note from Alice McQuitty in which she gave a quick update on how Andy’s treatments for colon cancer are progressing. I have written about Andy here and here. We have known Andy and Alice for 26 years and count them as dear friends. I wrote Andy a note saying that we were going to “dig in” and pray for him …
