perfect. He grew up in probably the most famous home in all of
Fundamentalism. He followed in the footsteps of his father, grandfather,
and great-grandfather, as president of the largest fundamental college in
the world. But this morning when he preached in chapel, he allowed us into
his heart as he shared his past and his struggles with his relationship
with God. </p>
<p> His message wasn't fiery, but it was good. He shared his struggles with
assurance, how he never finally was sure he was born-again 'til he was in
seminary. He told us about how he struggled in high-school. How he had bad
friends and was so deep into sin that he couldn't bring himself to pray or
read his Bible. He told us about the facade he was forced to put up, living
in the glass house he was raised in. </p>
<p> He never went into detail about the sin that he struggled with, but he
did share how he got into serious trouble with the Academy. He got 100
demerits in one day. And he shared how God used that to finally break him
of his sin. </p>
<p> His message should show up on <a
href="http://www.sermonaudio.com/">sermonaudio.com</a> in about a week, and
if it does, I will post a link to it. It was an awesome reminder that the
people we think are perfect are not and that God won't use someone greatly
unless they have been humbled first.<p>
