Baptist General Conference 2002 S. Arlington Heights Rd. Arlington Heights, IL 60005

prayer empowers I admire disciplined people. I marvel at those who exercise regularly or eat right. I hear stories of friends who lost significant weight and kept it off. I’ve seen others exercise unbelievable discipline by training for ironman competitions and marathons. Others show discipline in their personal lives. I tear up when I hear of parents who consistently “date” their kids and each other, because I know the long-term impact of this positive habit. “Discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness” (1 Tim. 4:8). It is great to have discipline in every area of life. But this verse says the reward for spiritual discipline is godliness — immeasurably more impactful than physical disciplines. Physical training produces temporary rewards, but spiritual disciplines produce eternal results. My desire to make an impact for eternity has driven me to become more disciplined. I have an overwhelming passion to honor God in my life. My greatest passion is to know him and make him known. This is why I exist, and to keep this priority I’ve chosen to make a few major decisions in my life and manage them daily. I am a simple man, so I need to keep things simple. Every morning I make the choice to be with God first. First thing each morning, I journal, pray and read. I have been doing so for years. This action, repeated over time, has had a cumulative impact on my life as well as on the lives of others. My journaling settles me, my reading centers me and my prayer empowers me with confidence in God’s ability to intervene in our world. Thank you for your discipline to pray throughout the year for these great servants of God. My prayer is that you will experience God’s presence, peace and power as you lift up those who are doing his work around the country and around the world. Thank you for joining with me in asking God to help us start and strengthen churches together worldwide!
