It's the Friday broadcast, which means you've got questions.

We've got answers.

We'll be getting to your calls momentarily.

866-348-7-884. Just looking at a call screener. Have they gotten tied up somewhere in the building?

I don't see the phones being answered yet. All right, be patient. We'll be getting to momentarily.

866-34. Truth. There we go. There we go. All right. Let me just tell you a quick personal story.

I'd started preaching in 1973 and always loved to preach, then started teaching an adult Sunday

preaching the word ever since all these decades. And of course,

before I officially preached or taught, I was sharing the gospel constantly. Well, when I was called

out of my secular job, it would have been earlier, if not for some of my academic pursuits.

When I was finally called out of my secular job, God, later on my heart, quit my job

and go teach you to Bible school, hadn't even hired me yet, 1983. Then I began teaching pretty much
