1. The Bible; slowly chipping away at memorizing I Cor 13 in Chinese.
2. Walvoord, currently . . . FR—I probably think Alamo-Girl is as close to my understanding of Scripture as most anyone else I know of. Been close enough to or acquaianted with a LOT of big name Christian leaders. Not been very impressed with much of any of them.

I like Max Lucado and Francis Frangipaine; Chuck Colson; Winkie Pratney’s current physical traumas and resurrection from his Korean death bed renew my respect for him and his teachings, testimony, life. He’s reminded me again . . . no striving in the flesh. Still a hard lesson given lots of givens.

Am almost to the place that I don’t think much of leaders who haven’t been through a few failings, crucibles and come out with some huge amounts of humility. Course that shows differently in different personalities but it’s very impactful. I think Rick Joyner’s right about the cloak of humility being crucial in these ENG TIMES.

3. a wide diversity of other topic articles . . . some for teaching
4. I mostly listen to Scripture [often going all night by my pillow] and Christian music. Took the TV out about a year ago.

About twice a year, a fiesty elderly spry, wirey black Pentecostal Baptist prophetic pastor comes up from Phoenix to minister in our era. She’s always been 100% accurate about what she’s spoken into my life By Holy Spirit, and all the lives of those I know who attend. A rarity. She’s tripped up about KJV only but I overlook that and she overlooks that I read other versions too.

5. Last time I touched base with Pastor, he seemed to indicate I was . . . though we don’t have our weekly lunch given he got so busy building his new house and with a lot of new church members . . . though we don’t actually have a formal membership.

And you?

Why?

And you?

Bible, NT, OT and Psalms in parallel. Currently Ezra, Psalms and Matthew.

Currently re-reading J. Gesham Machen's Christianity and Liberalism, because some of the problems that infested the church then are popping up again. (Why do the emergents think they're new and fresh?). Stalled in the middle of Thomas Boston's Crook in the Lot. Most recently in the past, Meredith Kline's God, Heaven and Har Magedon. And work related crap (specifically, Ralf Hildebrandt The Book of Postfix), of course.

Various and sundry audio bits. Way of the Master, James White's Dividing Line. Apologetics.com's weekly program. John McArther. Ingris Schleuter's Crosstalk. All when they look intersting, ignored when not. White Horse Inn.

Member in good standing, not under discipline, of a local EFCA church.

Good for you. I haven't watched with any regularity since Babylon 5 finished it's run, around the turn of the millenium. Too much dreck, too much waste of my precious time.

We are like grass. Who wants to explain to God why they pissed away so much time watching Gilligan's Island?

Why?

Honestly trying to gauge your state, in order to make a proper answer.
