I’m writing this note at 4:58 AM. In about 15 minutes the alarm will go off, meaning it’s time to get up. I’m up before the alarm, something that often happens on travel days. My internal clock wakes me up early and won’t let me go back to sleep. In a little while we’ll drive a mile to get to the Tupelo airport to catc…

I was asked recently about Paul’s statement in 1 Corinthians 5:9-11 that there are times when we should not even eat with a sinning believer:I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters.

One of the most meaningful moments at last night’s Friendship Banquet in Chicago happened after it was over. I can’t remember a time when I hugged so many people. It was like that from the time we arrived at 6 PM until we left around 10:15 PM. People started arriving an hour early–one couple drove from Holland, Michigan, another c…

When I arrived home from my trip to Canada, Marlene said, “I’ve got something for you.” It turned out to be a very nice birthday present that she gave me last night since I celebrated my birthday on Saturday. She found a birthday card with a picture of Indiana Jones on the front that read, “When they ask how old you are, tak…
This weekend I flew to Ontario, Canada to speak at a “Flashpoint” conference sponsored by Word of Life. On Saturday local church leaders from across the province met at the First Baptist Church of Waterloo for the conference. After speaking three times and leading a question-and-answer session, I came away impressed with the dedication…
About a month ago I started an email correspondence with a soldier serving with the US Army in Afghanistan. From what he has written, I gather that he’s been there for several tours of duty. Somehow he found one of my books, read it, and wrote with some questions. Like all who serve in a combat zone, he has wondered about the possibility of h…
