Excerpt from a Times story about how prosperity preacher Kenneth Copeland is still doing land-office business in hard times: Stephen Biellier, a long-distance trucker from Mount Vernon, Mo., said he and his wife, Millie, came to the convention praying that this would be "the overcoming year." They are $102,000 i ...

Andy Crouch at Laity Lodge: What Keeps Us From Being Creative?
Date: 06/30/2009
We had a fantastic lineup at Laity Lodge last week. Our musicians were Ashley Cleveland and Kenny Greenberg (for the second retreat in a row). Our speakers were Dr. J.I. Packer and Andy Crouch. I expect most of you have heard of J.I. Packer. His book, Knowing God , is one of the most respected Christian books of the last half century. It has sold well over a million copies, which isn't bad for ...
