When I was not yet twenty years old I remember John MacArthur speaking for a week at Moody. It was as if he opened the Bible and answered the deepest questions of my young heart. He spoke on “Glorifying God” and “God’s Will is not Lost.” Since then I have always tried to read John MacArthur. He is a modern “Worthy.” This month his new book The Truth War is available. I’m sure I will read it soon. The following quote came from …

Growing up I never remember missing prayer meeting on Wednesday nights unless I was working. Even when I did work on Wednesday nights I missed being with the family in prayer meeting.
Dad would always open the prayer meeting with a song, then he would have a short Bible study. Usually he would teach systematically through a book of the Bible or he would do a special study on some topic of interest or importance. After the Bible study he would read a letter or two …

Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles, And their offspring among the people. All who see them shall acknowledge them, That they are the posterity whom the LORD has blessed.” (Isa 61:9 NKJV)

There was a slope of hay field toward the back of my grandpa’s wonderful little farm in Ohio. In the evening it was shaded by a woods. In the afternoon it was warm and bright with sunlight. It was on top of the hill, well out of sight of the house. From that spot there were no houses or man-made structures in view. It was a pleasant, beautiful place.
One afternoon I was with my grandfather while he was working the field and he …

Once, many years ago we were traveling home late on a clear summer night. When we finally turned into our driveway we all were eager to tumble into our beds. We counted the children and came up one short. We discovered it was Chuk who was missing. I went back to the car to see if I had left him sleeping in the car. I thought I would find him asleep in the back seat.
The car was empty. I turned …

In late January and early February I perticipated in our ATI Dad’s Conference. The Spirit of God fell on the meetings in an unusual way. When you listen to the men sing I think you will get a sense of affections for God the men were longing to express in their worship. It was one of the sweetest experiences of my life. Listen to the end of the clip. If you would like to download five songs from the conference visit the Institute in Basic …

Pennsylvania
In April of 2006 I was preaching a series of meetings for some churches in central Pennsylvania. It was a lovely little town and our accommodations were in a delightful bed and breakfast. The girls traveled with me to sing and do children’s work. During the week we visited the Pennsylvania Amish Country, which delighted the girls. On a beautiful spring afternoon we visited Gettysburg, which they politely tolerated. In the evening services we sang and I preached and I asked the girls each to …

In April of 2003 I was a few months into a new ministry which was stretching me beyond anything I had ever experienced and calling for things from me that I thought were not there and never would be there.
On the fourteenth I took our oldest daughter Holly out for coffee. That morning a list of pressing duties was running in my mind, but I knew I wanted to give my daughter all my attention and all my heart. It was her birthday.
We drove …
