It took me a few days to get my own copy. But, now I have it and must say I am pleased with the way it came out.
"All The Days: Daily Devotions for Busy Believers" is something I have been wanting to do for quite a while. This devotional book will enable you to read a daily devotional that is brief and to the point. It is not intended to be an in-depth Bible study.
A word...
Perhaps many of you recall that Jerry Vines Ministries hosted the John 3:16 Conference, an assessment of and response to 5-Point Calvinism. The lectures in this Conference, plus some additional chapters, were subsequently put in the book "

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Clark Pinnock at the age of 73. Though Dr. Pinnock had retired from public life in March, announcing he had Alzheimer’s disease, he died unexpectedly as the result of a heart attack. His homegoing brought back a flood of memories from my own personal life.
Contrary to some articles, I did not have any classes under Dr. Pinnock when I was at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Nor did Dr. Adrian Rogers. Dr. Rogers actually...

There was a fascinating article in the Wall Street Journal last week. It was entitled, “The Perils of ‘Wannabe Cool’ Christianity,” by Brett McCracken. It mentions a number of “cool” churches and the things they are doing to reach people. He discusses everything from the “cool” way the pastors dress to the “cool” sex...
I look forward to seeing you at the Southern Baptist Convention in Orlando next week. If you are coming in before Sunday, let me invite you to meet me at Aloma Baptist Church for the Sunday morning service.
Anthony George, the young pastor, is one of my sons in the ministry. Anthony was reached for Christ by a youth Sunday School teacher in our First Baptist Church in Jacksonville.
He is doing a fabulous job as pastor at Aloma.
Dr. John Sullivan will be...
Hear From the Generations at the 2010 Fall Bible Conference
2010 at 05:55 PMPosted by Jerry Vines
Though we didn’t consciously do it, the speakers at the conference come from many generations. Our speakers are in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s.
God uses preachers of all ages to speak His Word to our hearts. It would be a mistake for us to think only those of a certain age have a message of God for us. Some of the great preachers who are older have really blessed and challenged me. I have been thrilled and helped immensely by young preachers.

My friend Warren Wiersbe said to me several years ago: “Blessed are the balanced.” I’ve thought about that statement quite a bit.
There is a tendency for us all to get out of balance. And the younger we are, the more we tend to extremes. I know that was true for me. At times my passion outran my understanding. I was sincere, but hadn’t lived long enough to have a more complete picture. I don’t claim to have the complete picture now. But, I have come to...
