Borrowed Creativity - The Artist's Calling to an Original Life
Lecture given Monday, September 22, 2008, 8:30 AM at Abilene Christian University: "How often does the Christian culture merely resemble a subculture of the current trends in secular America? Perhaps it is not the trends that should alarm believers, but rather the lack of ingenuity displayed within "Christian" creative arts. The artist who professes Christ has a unique calling to originality, relevance and truth."

Confess and Believe Jesus Christ is the Lord - Persecution and Mission in China
Lecture given Wednesday, September 24, 2008, 8:30 AM at Abilene Christian University: "What does Paul mean when he writes, "if you confess with your mouth that 'Jesus Christ is Lord' and you believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved"? Church history reveals that the blood of the martyrs is the seed for the church's growth. While the history of the Chinese church is one of persecution, it is also a history of vibrant revival, mission movements, and house churches."
