I posted a picture from my interview with Kay Arthur and her son David Arthur on social media the day we talked, and the most common comment from people was that they first came to really know and love God’s Word in a Precepts Bible study. Few people have had the worldwide influence that Kay Arthur has had through the ministry of Precepts International, founded with her late husband, Jack, and now led by her son David.
There are a few places in the interview where it might be difficult to hear Kay talk—that’s because several times she became very emotional. Each time it was because she was moved by her love for God’s Word and the sufficiency of God’s Word. It was a joy to talk to David and Kay about the aims of Precept Ministries, how their own teaching of the Bible developed, and what makes people want to listen to their teaching.
Free eBook by Tim Keller: ‘The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness’
Imagine a life where you don’t feel inadequate, easily offended, desperate to prove yourself, or endlessly preoccupied with how you look to others. Imagine relishing, not resenting, the success of others. Living this way isn’t far-fetched. It’s actually guaranteed to believers, as they learn to receive God’s approval, rather than striving to earn it.
In Tim Keller’s short ebook, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness: The Path To True Christian Joy, he explains how to overcome the toxic tendencies of our age一not by diluting biblical truth or denying our differences一but by rooting our identity in Christ.
TGC is offering this Keller resource for free, so you can discover the “blessed rest” that only self-forgetfulness brings.
