I can't believe this guy is 63 years old and still embedding with troops in Iraq. He's pretty amazing. In fact, the whole reason that he came out here was to speak at a fundraiser for Stillwater Christian School.
He is a strong advocate of preserving moral absolutes in America and the rights of both individuals and institutions to teach the uncensored Word of God.
What's more, he told the students that fully half of a person's life is determined by the people they choose to associate with. Most young people today waste the majority of their lives because they choose to hang out and associate intimately with those who influence them to live for them moment but never help them to strive for anything eternal or significant in life. Consequently, young people spend their whole lives searching for fulfillment but never find it. They get to the end of their lives and look back with a deep sense of emptiness, feeling wasted and unfulfilled. They have neither experienced or achieved anything truly meaningful.
"I'm a firm believer in the fellowship of believers," he says. He again pointed to the Word of God and examples like Timothy and the Apostle Paul, whose influence shaped Timothy's life and ministry to others, inspiring him to be a truly great and effective man of God. He added that the importance and positive effects of surrounding oneself with mature Christians could not be understated.
Proverbs 13:20 says, "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed."
Here are a couple of pics from a cameo appearance at a Bible study in Bigfork, immediately before he flew out to another speaking engagement:
