It is always amazing to see the big and little blessings God brings while we are on the road. We were blessed with gracious hosts, at our stop in Pecatonica, IL, who have an overflowing gift of hospitality. They fed us like kings, and made us feel very much “at home.” Even the use of their showers and laundry facilities were huge blessings while traveling. Thanks, Paul and Rose, for serving us! On the day after an evening seminar in IL, a grandmother shared with...
Read MoreChew, Chew, Chew
While waiting for my mom at the dentist’s office, I was blessed to overhear a short conversation between the receptionist and an elderly woman. The receptionist asked her, “How do you stay so healthy?” Her reply delighted me: “I take what the Lord gives me … and He gave me a mouthful of teeth.” I love that! What a great attitude – and a good testimony to God’s goodness! And what a great reminder to remember our Creator and give thanks. I got to thinking – how often do I...
Read MoreDo You Think They Will Read Them?
Mary Jo & I were doing presentations at a church on Sunday. One of the parents really got excited about the creation message and wanted some resources. I suggested two “must have books” for her boys on dinosaurs (Dragons of the Deep, and Dinosaurs for Kids). Her question was “Do you think they will read them?” I guess they were really into video games. I assured her not only of the importance that they get material to counteract the evolutionary indoctrination but also...
Read MoreYouth Rally and People “Getting It!”
Mary Jo & I spoke for a youth rally as a portion of our seminar series in Pinedale, Wyoming. Someone who really saw how important it was to get as many youth as possible to see the creation material donated a brand new IPAD as a prize for a drawing held during the rally. That “bribe,” coupled with a pizza party and a pastor who also encouraged them to come, got a lot of youth out! We were also happy to see most all of them paying close attention to our creation...
Read MoreWeb Response From India
I received this email from someone in India who has found our website: Dear Sirs, I intend to introduce myself as Pastor *******, based in *****, India. I found your website to be wonderful with material made in the spirit of I would say young Elihu’s remarks in the Book of Job “Let me go on, and I will show you the truth. For I have not finished defending God! I will present profound arguments for the righteousness of my Creator.”- Job 36:2-3 Keep up your good...
Read MoreTreadmills, DVDs, and Friends
While exercising on my treadmill this morning, I enjoyed watching a DVD called “Creation the Facts of Life” by Dr. Gary Parker. This multitasking makes the time go faster and gives me an opportunity to meet new friends or touch bases with people I haven’t seen in awhile. It was fun to spend the time with Dr. Parker today. Dr. Parker was one of my professors/mentors while attending the ICR Graduate School. His unique teaching style and ability to see relationships between...
Read More“,But the LORD directs his steps.”
I would like to praise the LORD for His faithfulness in my recent trip to India. He provided abundantly in so many different areas. I am thankful for the provision of finances to allow me the opportunity to minister to the Indian people. God was also faithful in providing safety while traveling to seven different cities in one month, good health throughout the trip, and the strength to endure a very rigorous schedule. It was a joy to see how God worked even through...
Read More“25 Years Ago You Spoke . . .”
Last week I received a phone call from a man who had attended a camp where we had spoken almost 25 years ago! He was 13 or 14 at that time, but has been out of touch with us since. He had recently found us on our website. The creation message has been important to him all these years. Sometimes we don’t hear from people at all as to how the message has impacted them until many years later. Usually it is because we returned to an area and are approached by someone,...
Read MoreBUT GOD YOU PROMISED!
Isaac was 40 years old when he married Rebekah. Grandpa Abraham had been promised many offspring, but after several years of marriage, Rebecca had still not conceived. I imagine that Isaac was saying, “But God you promised!” He probably wondered if he should have married sooner or have had more faith. Who knows his doubts? Gen. 25:21 says Isaac pleaded with the Lord and Rebekah conceived. Prayer answered … smooth sailing … NOT! Verse 22 says the twin babies...
Read MoreCreation Centers
On the way back from our speaking trip in Texas, Mary Jo & I had the pleasure of stopping by two Creation centers. The Discovery Center in Abilene is run by Tommy and Caroline Walden. They are very energetic people with a real passion for creation. A popular exhibit is their talking robot. The Center has some fossils and various creation displays. An exhibit they are developing features material donated relating to the Titanic. Their message will be comparing it to...
Read MoreIce Storms and Travel
With all of the travel we do for speaking, we are extremely grateful for safety on the road. Sometimes we are even more grateful. The other day we woke up to snow on the ground with blowing snow and ice freezing our car doors shut and road conditions which closed the schools. As much as we would have liked to huddle inside our host’s nicely warmed home and sip on hot tea, there loomed ahead a pressing need to brave the storm and travel to the next speaking location. The...
Read MoreHow Firm a Foundation
The words of the old hymn, How Firm a Foundation, have been running through my mind today. What a message to meditate on! How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word! What more can He say than to you He hath said, To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled? This firm foundation begins way back in the beginning in Genesis 1. “In the beginning, God …” What a comfort it is to know that God was there in the beginning … and He will be...
