Greetings from Nashville

   I had about 15 hours at home between trips to and from St. Louis and now I am here in Nashville. I had a great time with Pastor Van Lee and the brothers and sisters at Covenant of Grace Church in St. Charles. This was my fifth consecutive year with them on the first weekend in December. I spoke on Islam. Did a quick flight home, repacked, and I have just arrived here in Nashville.
   I would request your prayers for the rest of this week. I will be recording many hours of video presentations that will be live translated into Farsi for satellite broadcast in Iran. The Christian church in Iran has requested apologetics information so that they can give an answer for the hope that is within them (what a challenge to the rest of us who have so much more freedom and yet so often ignore that command!), and I am honored to have been asked to speak on the issue of the inspiration, canonization, and transmission of the text of the Bible. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated, for it is my sincere desire that these videos encourage and strengthen our fellow believers in Iran, grounding them in the truth of God’s Word.
   Of course, this also means that unless the other brothers of Team Apologian don’t have articles to share…things will be very, very quiet here! My days will be pretty well invested in this work, to be sure. I am going to try to get the next in the LDS series posted this week, maybe even tomorrow, but I have to put first things first, and opportunities like this do not come along every day.
