1) Kudos to Dave Burchett for a stellar first week as the newest Crosswalk blogger. Dave is an accomplished author, an award winning sports TV director, and an extremely trenchant commentator on the issues of the day. Dave is an old friend, and I’ve always wanted to use the word “trenchant,” and now I’ve done it …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
