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 …

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.

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.
