People crowded around the book tables so tightly that I could not go anywhere! The enthusiastic response to each session was amazing. We were in Mexico sharing the truths of the commands of Christ with over one thousand pastors and churchgoers. The book How to Resolve 7 Deadly Stresses had just been translated into Spanish! […]

On the Radio!
This afternoon Michael and I joined Ernesto Gomez for his family’s weekly one-hour radio broadcast on WSYW 810 AM in Indianapolis. Joshua and Matthew Wilkes and Nate Paine were also on the air with us as we talked about how to make brothers and sisters our best friends. We shared personal illustrations of what we […]
Off the Ground, Part III
It’s amazing how being away for a while can refresh your perspective and reset your priorities. That way, you see your work in a new almost appreciative way–probably because you understand better how it fits in with the life and work of so many other people. And what’s even more encouraging is when you are […]
GraphExpo 2008
The end of this month will mark the one year anniversary of my work as an artist in the IBLP Graphic Arts Department. This is hard to believe! As all four seasons have come and gone, so have many monstrous projects, marvelous coworkers and memorable events. One such event happened just last month when the […]

Journey to Northwoods
The early morning frost blanketed the silent landscape surrounding the Northwoods Conference Center. When the sun began to rise at 7:00, I stepped outside to take in the serenity. It was completely different than a normal Tuesday morning at work in Chicago. Back in September, when I heard that the Life FOCUS group was going […]
Except Ye Be Converted and Become as Little Children . . .
We all know that children have a lot to learn but do you often think of learning from children? The qualities of humility and faith that Jesus highlighted are qualities we must all learn before we can be a part of His kingdom. . We’ve seen many many students in the past month and a […]
Which Bible Can We Trust?
With so many different versions of the Bible in the world today it becomes very important to ask: which Bible can we trust? After all, the Bible is the written Word of God, every Word of God is true, and thus it is the key for understanding doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness (II […]
America, Return to God!
In the midst of a city with escalating immorality and increasing public wickedness, nearly two thousand Christians gathered in San Francisco for a time of open repentance and prayer. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to attend this prayer rally, which was appropriately named America Return to God. The powerful message on true repentance, […]
