During that time I gave ten lectures on Galatians, spoke on two other occasions, and we had dinner with Wayne and Ruthie Lewis and lunch with Mike and Betsi Calhoun. Plus it was col …

This week I’ve been teaching Galatians to 250 first-year students at Word of Life Bible Institute in New York. So far I have given seven lectures covering chapters 1-4. I also spoke at staff devos yesterday and in the Chancellor’s Chapel this morning. So it’s been a busy week. Judging from the response of …

Jeff Williams is in the process of writing a series of creative blogs called Galatians Remixed. It’s not a commentary in the usual sense. It’s a dramatic retelling of the story behind Galatians based on conversations between Paul and a young man named Scribus to whom Paul dictated the latter. Through the convers …

At the moment it is 5:36 AM and I am (mostly) wide awake. In 24 minutes we leave for the Tupelo airport where we will fly to Memphis and then on to Tampa for a week of ministry at Word of Life Florida in Hudson, about 40 minutes north of Tampa. I have lost track of how many times we’ve made this trip, but I know I&rsq …

Tonight we had the opening service for the Word of Life Mid-Year conference in Columbus, Ohio. Although I usually stay in hotels when I do a conference like this, this weekend I’m staying with Bill and Mary Jo Price. They are dear friends whom I met through Word of Life a few years ago. Bill picked me up at the airpor …

Here are two pictures from the Couples Conference at Word of Life last weekend. It was a first for us in several ways: our first time to speak at a couples conference, and our first time to teach in a side-by-side dialogue fashion. Marlene told me not to worry, that it would go well, and she was right as she almost always i …

I am writing this note from Word of Life Inn in Schroon Lake, New York, high in the Adirondack Mountains. I arrived here last night for the opening week of the summer camp season. This morning was picture postcard perfect—blue skies, emerald green forests, a few wispy clouds, light breeze, and calm water on the lake. It is …
