After a seminar the other evening, an elderly gentleman (CW for short) came up to me an introduced himself. He had been a professor of physics at a nearby secular university for over 25 years, retiring a few years ago. I had noticed him during my talks that evening … he was seated with his wife and a friend, all with beaming smiles and nodding heads the whole time I spoke … public speakers love this type of person! He had heard the Nuttings speak in the early 90’s,...

I just want to finish up the the details of our time at Cornerstone Bible Institute, again, things went very well. Tuesday through Thursday, I had the opportunity to teach in Chapel and on Monday I taught the Genesis class. I was able to cover Genesis chapters 2-3 in a subsequent Genesis class. Wednesday evening I presented ‘The Folly of Dolly and Stem Cells’. It was an eye opener for some people. The teaching at Crawford, NE also went very well. On Sunday morning, I...
Read MoreThe Right Choice
We see many different reactions to the message of Creation we present at various locations. Last week, an elderly man got up and stomped out after listening to only 10 minutes of a talk on human origins. His grandson came up after the program and shared that his 81 year old grandfather was a stoic believer in evolution, and had only come to the program at the grandson’s request. Apparently, the older gentleman did not like what he was hearing. I was reminded that in...
Read MoreThe Blessing of Teaching
Teaching at Cornerstone Bible Institute was a blessing! The students were very inquisitive and eager to learn. On Monday mornings, the freshmen would attend a two hour Genesis class. I was invited to teach my Genesis series as part of the class. Usually each chapter takes about an hour to teach, but we spent two hours on chapter one alone, and were still unable to finish it . I continued the next week in finishing chapter one and went on to the subsequent chapters. ...

Read MoreGod is Good!
God is sooo Good! We recently had a last minute cancelation with only a few days to fill it. But God is so good, and He filled it with an event at a church near Cornerstone Bible Institute where our daughters, Claudia and Abby, attend. So we were able to see them and celebrate Abby’s birthday on Sept. 19th. I was also blessed with the opportunity to teach an additional two hour Genesis class at the Institute. As it states in Proverbs, God truly guides our stays....

We have just finished teaching creation to another group of students at Summit Ministries. We had three sessions plus an open forum with them. This is the last session of Summit this year. We are already looking forward to more groups next year. Whenever we have large (or small) groups of high-school and college-age students, we really enjoy being there. Pray that some of these students will be taking the information we just gave them to new levels and to places we will...

After a quick 1-day turn-around from speaking in the Netherlands, we arrived mid-week at AOI’s Creation Family Mountain Adventure.

This year marked our 24th year of Creation Family Camps at Redcloud. Not only do these camps provide a great vacation for families in a beautiful mountain setting, but they also provide a...
Read MoreGreat Sessions at AOI Family Camp
It was a great week for the AOI Creation Mountain Adventures Family Camp located at the beautiful Redcloud Ranch near Lake City, CO. The people who attended the sessions were eager to learn about creation and study the book of Genesis. Actually, many were so eager that we had to do extra sessions in the evenings. It was not uncommon to teach from 9:00 p.m. to 10:30 or 11:00 p.m. – Monday thought Thursday. We taught several who were struggling with the idea of a...
