Well, we're also joined by the chairman of Ligonier Ministries, one of our teaching fellows, Dr. W. Robert Godfrey. And Dr. Godfrey, this week, we're hosting Ligonier's board meetings. And as you're gathering with members of the staff, are you encouraged by what you're hearing about how the Lord is growing this ministry through the provision of our ministry partners?

I'm just wonderfully encouraged.

I'm just wonderfully encouraged.

As I get older, there are a lot of things to be discouraged about in life, but the hand of the Lord seems so evidently on Ligonier in the way it's being blessed, in the way it's being given opportunities to minister God's Word, especially the opportunity to support the churches and not only build up individual Christians, but to build up local congregations, which is where Christ is doing his primary work, to build his church.

I've recently been studying Ephesians for my Sunday school class I teach at our church, and one of the things that has so impressed me in that study is the way in which Paul is calling Christians to know the truth. It's not enough to just be kind of a passive person. Christians are those who are eager to know the truth, to be growing in the truth.

Paul's prayer in the second half of Ephesians 1 is that they might be growing in a knowledge of how great Christ is and all that he is accomplishing, and then to know that he is accomplishing that in the church and for the church, and that Christ's great plan in human history is to create a new humanity in and through the church.

Paul is aware, as he writes to these Ephesian Christians, that they could easily feel that as Christians they had lost a great deal in becoming Christians, that they had lost power, they had lost influence, they had lost position in this world. And he's encouraging to know Christ is at work in the church.

For all of the church's apparent and real weakness, nonetheless, that is where Christ is accomplishing his purpose and where he will be glorified. And at the very center of that epistle, we read, now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think. I'm always encouraged to talk to Chris Larson because he does abundant thinking and planning and has a lot on his mind.

And to think that God is able to do more than even Chris Larson can anticipate or hope for. And Will is wonderful to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think according to the power at work within us. To him be glory in the church. To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever.

So it's not only the present church, but it's a future church. We'll be able to talk about that importantly in the future. So I am tremendously encouraged with Christ and his work and his power and his plan and the opportunity that he has given us through the support of our ministry partners to be able to be part of the fulfilling of that plan.

I've really appreciated that in a number of contexts you've described Ligonier as a fellowship of truths. Why is truth so important?
