C. J. Mahaney - Blessings

For the last month, I have had the privilege of meeting as part of a group of men at our church for Elder training. Our Pastor is taking us through a year of study and examination to explore the possibility of our becoming Elders, following the Biblical model of church polity. 1 Tim 3:1-7; Tit. 1:5-9; 1 Pet 5:1-4.

Not quite two weeks ago, as part of the training, we were listening to a message by C. J. Mahaney, called Watch Your Life and Doctrine. I got to hear it live at the Together for the Gospel conference last year, but it's one of those messages that needs to be listened to over and over again.

Anyway, one of the guys in our group knows someone who works at Sovereign Grace Ministries, and so as we listened to C. J., he emailed his friend and said how good it was, and how much it was ministering to us. The next day(?) he got a reply that C. J. had heard about our little group and wanted our names.

Well, he sent us all autographed copies of his books "Living the Cross Centered Life", "Humility", and a book on what every Christian Husband needs to know!!

What a blessing! And what an amazing thing, that this man could and would take the time to bless our little group of men in snowy Michigan. Having heard him preach, and listened to him interact with his friends Mark Dever, Ligon Duncan, and Al Mohler at TFG, I think he really models humility and Christ-like love that is inspiring.

Thanks C. J.!
