Word Is Out

"We who preach and write, do so in a manner different from which the Scriptures have been written. We write while we make progress. We learn something new every day. We speak as we still knock for understanding...If anyone criticizes me when I have said what is right, he does me an injustice. But I would be more angry with the one who praises me and takes what I have written for Gospel truth than I would be with the one who criticizes me unfairly. Augustine
Grace To all,
Mark Hamby

Comment on North Carolina .

Usually I will publish a blog comment, but this one needs to be entered in the blog itself….we are all on this journey together. These words below from this mom and wife are very beautifully crafted and deserve to be highlighted.  I can always tell when the presence of God is without doubt the major influence in a seminar…this was one of them.


My husband and I were at your session "Raise them up..." yesterday here in NC. We were there with our 2 month old, which was difficult because he had had it with the stroller, car seat, and us holding him. I asked myself several times "Why am I here, this is more of a struggle than a help." Until we sat through your conference. (We were over on the side, with our son lying oustretched on a blanket on the floor and he was finally at peace!!) We had to be there to hear you and the change of perspective God has been giving you on your role as a parent. My husband teared up as you recounted what your former response to your son's defiant, angry approach would have been and how God has worked His power in your heart and life. After your session, I said to my husband, "There's so much more I need to hear." Hearing you speak of the journey out of anger and towards a life of grace was like watching a beautiful sunrise after a stormy night. Thank you.
