Day 3 at WOLBI

Posted by on 2.2.06 in Podcasts, Uncategorized

The week is just rushing along. This morning I lectured for three hours on Galatians 3-4. Every year I find the student body is a little bit different. A few years ago we had a really boisterous group that liked to talk and sing and banter with me. This year’s group seems very attentive and studious. They come in to t …

Day 2 at WOLBI

Posted by on 2.1.06 in Podcasts, Uncategorized

6:48 AM Yesterday a student asked if I had lived in Oak Park. When I told him yes, he said, “Did you ever eat at Mickey’s?” I laughed and told him many times. Mickey’s is a locally-famous hamburger joint on Harlem Avenue in Oak Park. I didn’t tell him that the boys liked it better than I did. (I was partia …

Eggville Free Will Baptist Church

Posted by on 1.29.06 in Podcasts, Uncategorized

This morning I attended the Eggville Free Will Baptist Church. Let me say right up front that this is a true country church. You can only get there by traveling on several winding country roads. The well-kept buildings testify to the pride and sense of ownership of those who worship there. I arrived just before the service …

Anchor for China Update

Posted by on 1.28.06 in Podcasts, Uncategorized

A few years ago, at the request of a group of evangelical leaders, I wrote a book called An Anchor for the Soul. It’s a very simple presentation of the gospel, mainly for people without much Bible knowledge, written in “Wal-Mart English” so it is easy to understand. The book has had wide distribution at Ground Zero in …

“God Will Grab Them Forever”

Posted by on 1.27.06 in Podcasts, Uncategorized

10:24 AM Here’s a testimony to the power of the gospel: 12 years ago I was a Communist and had no clue what God is all about. I was very good if not perfect in China. There is no concept of sin in Chinese culture. But I was not happy in China. 12 years later I am a sinner in America but I am all happy. My soul fi …

9:49 PM I bought a new bike yesterday, but I don’t have it yet. It’s on order from the factory and should arrive by Thanksgiving if all goes well. So I won’t say anything more about it, except that I couldn’t have purchased it without a very nice and totally unexpected gift from some friends who specified that they wanted m…

9:13 PM This is the best collection of articles on Islam and the Christian faith that I have found. “Much has been said in recent days by politicians and media to the effect that Islam is a peaceful religion, that we all worship the same god (God), and that all religions are basically equal, and that religious beliefs ar…
