Happiness is a Choice

September 10, 2009

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…

Radio Today at 11 AM CDT

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…

Still Believing

September 9, 2009

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 …

Transformation Study Bible

September 7, 2009

Last Wednesday we interviewed Dr. Warren Wiersbe about the brand-new Transformation Study Bible, which features notes based on his lifetime study of the Word of God. When we asked me how this study Bible fits in a very crowded market, he told us that while many study Bibles offer excellent information on names, dates, places, and details on biblica…

Level 3 Wisdom

September 5, 2009

I received an e-mail from a friend who endured a very difficult trial that lasted for several years. He wrote to say how his ordeal has changed his view of what it means to know God. There are three levels of knowing God, he wrote. First, there is the level of experience. All of us who know the Lord have some experiences with him that we can use to…

A Man Called Peter

September 2, 2009

Earlier this year I started studying the life of Peter in preparation for a series of messages that I would give at Word of Life Florida. I started with the basic assumption that Peter is for most people the best-loved and best-known apostle. We know him because the gospels say so much about him, and we love him because we see ourselves in him. I d…
