Announcements
I hope to see you at the SBTS Expositors Conference October 28-30, 2014, with R. Albert Mohler and John F. MacArthur. I also will be speaking at the pre-conference on October 27.
The most important part of a preacher’s life is the part that only God sees – the time alone with God, when you’re not sermonizing, when you’re not preparing for public ministry, when you are a sinner worshiping a holy God… So I would say to every preacher: Cultivate your spiritual roots and start each day with the Lord. – Warren W. Wiersbe
