Thanks to my faithful brother Kevin for all the work he has done on the new www.kenpierpont.com website. If it was not for his help and work over the last six or seven years a huge part of our ministry to people would not exist. I am grateful to him. Check out his stuff. Thanks, too to Isaiah Mays for his work on the photo in the banner and to my dear wife Lois who is not only the mother of our eight children but my photographer on …

I met Gilbert Morris last night. We were asked to sing at a little church on the other side of the state. We arrived and set up and just before the service a friendly older man carried a guitar up to the front of the church and set it down. He turned and introduced himself to us. He said his name was Gilbert Morris. I thought that was interesting because there is a fairly well-known Christian author with the same name.
We were introduced and sang …

I have been meditating lately on the sweet privilege and holy priority that we have in the prospect of fellowship, union, abiding, communion, and intimacy with God.
What was God’s purpose for creating man but to have the pleasure of fellowship with him and to be glorified in that communion?

I “borrowed” this photo from the Barakel site. My guess is that is was taken …

Yesterday morning my heart was burdened to give my younger boys some undivided attention. I couldn’t think of anything good to do. I was stumped and my creativity battery was dead. I often take them with me on errands, or ministry trips but it is easy to be distracted during those times. Most days I have them read in the next room while I work but even then they do not have my full attention. If I go to too many bookstores they groan, even …

Last night I checked the mail and it is official. All my requirements for my Master’s Degree from Moody Graduate School are now complete. I started six years ago almost to the day.

I used to own a bank, but I lost it. Actually, it was taken away from me. My Dad took it. My aunt gave it to me. It was a Christmas present. She made it herself. It was a green Cocker Spaniel bank. It was sort of a kosher-version of the classical piggy-bank. It was ceramic. It sat right on my dresser and I kept my allowance in it. Every week I put a couple nickels in it. I …
