Hello Everyone,

I was reading some of the posts made on 'Keeping the faith', etc, etc. and was reminded of an interesting article I read in the ICR- April 'Acts & Facts' magazine.

An introduction letter 'FROM THE EDITOR' stated in his opening paragraph:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Please open your Bibles to Genesis chapter one." With this, Dr. John MacArthur opened the 2009 Shepherds' Conference. For the next hour, he told nearly 3,200 church leaders that no self-respecting pastor, evangelical, or Christian should attempt to deny that God created the heavens and earth in six literal days. Those who have difficulty believing the historical account of Genesis, he warned, will have much more difficulty trusting the rest of the Bible and its accounts of the virgin birth, Christ's atonement for our sins, and the resurrection of the dead, all miracles that cannot--that must not--be subjected to the reasoning of finite men."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lawrence E. Ford; Executive Editor of ICR magazine continues:

It was a blessing to hear this great Christian leader expound in his typical no-nonsense fashion that God meant what He said, that the Bible can be trusted from the very first chapter. This contrasted with a number of other conferences ICR has attended where speakers did their best to avoid the issue of the authority and accuracy of the Bible, or sadly, compromised God's Word with evolution-based "creation" theories such as day-age, theistic evolution, progressive creation, and the like.

Dr. MacArthur is celebrating his 40th year as pastor-teacher.

My husband and I have studied the Bible along with this highly educational Pastor, Dr. John MacArthur, for over 18 years.
He is a well sought-after Pastor for Conferences and Christian Radio programs. I would highly recommend him to your use of studying the Word of the living God. His radio program is named, "Grace to You", with John MacArthur ~

Thank you, Abishag <><
