Thank You

Lincoln Land Baptist Church

It has been again a wonderful delight and joy to be able to bring these studies to you. They were preached at Lincoln Land Baptist Church in 2006. I want to express my gratitude and love to my wonderful church family for their love, encouragement, spiritual maturity, sacrifice, and vision in allowing me to have this ministry and letting the world share in the pulpit ministry of Lincoln Land Baptist Church and in the hours of research and preparation that go behind each message. Thousands of dollars have been spent to produce this ministry for preachers all over the world. If you ever get the chance, come and meet these wonderful Christians. They are precious people that want our church to be used of God for His glory!

Lincoln Land Baptist Church is an Independent, Fundamental Baptist Church in Springfield, Illinois, which is the capital of the great state of Illinois. This church has had a rich heritage of pastors that have fed the church on evangelistic, expository Bible preaching since it was begun in 1965. In August of 2005, we celebrated our 40th birthday.

The book ministry of this church has grown beyond whatever we dreamed as over 5600 preachers are now using these books in their studies and 200 Bible colleges or institutes are using them in their curriculums or by their students in their private studies. The books are also being sent to prison libraries across the country to assist inmates with their walk with the Lord while they serve their time. We are also providing the books for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan who have been saved and desire to learn more about the Bible. What a blessing, but what a responsibility too. For this reason, we strive to be as accurate, thorough, and practical in our research and presentation of Scripture and Christian history.

Since August of 1971, I have had a thirst to learn the Word and preach its truths. What a wonderful journey it has been to dig for delightful diamonds of truth in the Scriptures these past 35 years. I hope this 20th book on Treasures from the Sermon on the Mount will enlighten, encourage, energize and enrich you and bring you closer to our wonderful Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
