THE SPIRITUAL SPARKPLUG — "I thinkit's importanttokeep everybody fired up, excited, stirredup.Itrytoremindeverybody that there's a world out heregoingtohell... I've been inschoolworkfor25years, and I'm shocked how easilywe forgetthere'sa worldgoingtohell

I got saved 45 years ago, and Ihaven't gotten over it yet I justhaven't gotten over that God loves me and that Christ died for me I find that people need to be reminded ofthat ... The second thing is teaching the Christian lifein class, teaching people how to walk in the Spirit... We'retelling people today to live the Christianlife, and we pointout a bunch of switches — don't do this, don't do that, and don't do the other — but we don'ttellthem how tolive. And we need to know how to be filled with the Spirit ... So my biggest desire isto help folks learnabout this wonderfulperson — the Holy Spirit."

Asa vicepresidentof Liberty Universityand Directorof InternationalBible Center, I perform several tasksforboth this institution and the Thomas Road BaptistChurch,

I've written several books since I first came to Liberty — The King Is Coming,Willmington's Guide to the Bible, That Manuscript from Outerspace, SignsoftheTimes, and I'vecreated and visualized chart books for both the Old and New Testaments.

I'm the author of the Willmington's Visualized Study Bible and co-author of When It Hurts Too Much toCry. I'mcontributing author of the Topical Reference Bible and the Liberty Bible Commentary.

I'm presently working on three new books: Israel at Forty,Beyond TrivialPursuit(a Bible listbook),and From Creationto Christ (anOld Testamentoverview)

I'm director of the Local ChurchBible Institute, the LibertyHome BibleInstitute, and the Instituteof Biblical Studies, I write a monthly column for the "Fundamentalist Journal" and am executive editor of ChristianLifeNotes inthe New Open Bible.
