Over the last year I’ve been working on a book, a course really, entitled, Catholics and Evangelicals: What’s the Difference? It began as an assignment for a doctoral course at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and eventually grew into what it’s become today.
Since I plan to teach the course during the second hour at Glory of Christ this fall and winter, I needed to complete the current phase of my work on it. So several weeks ago I began to search for a place where I could get away and do that, and by the grace of God and the kindness of their hearts, the staff at Oak Forest Retreat Center near Frederic, Wisconsin provided me with a room, free of charge, from September 1-7.
I had to be in town for some meetings and for Sunday worship, so I was only able to use the room for five of the seven days but in that time the Lord was immensely gracious to me. Not only was I able to finish the course, but I also made significant progress on another book that’s coming out this fall entitled Abiding in Christ: 40 Days in John 15:1-11.
As for Catholics and Evangelicals, I want to thank those of you who prayed for me while I was gone, and who have offered input on the course over the last several months. And I want to call on all of you to join me in praying for the project in the following ways.
Pray for the course being offered at GCF this fall and winter, that the Lord will help us see ways in which the course can be better and more effective.
Pray for those who plan to attend the course, and who might attend if they’re asked, that the Lord will win some to himself and equip others to share Christ with those who need him.
Pray for the long-term fruitfulness of the project. My prayer is that many around the country will use it as a tool with which to share the love and hope of Christ with those who need him.
Thanks again, my dear friends, for your partnership in prayer, writing, and life in Christ. I appreciate you all very much and I give glory to God for you!
