We recently had the marvelous opportunity to have Mr. Carl Hespe, of Special Touch Ministry, speak at my church.
Special Touch Ministry is focused on reaching disabled people with the message of hope, love and Good News. They are all about introducing Jesus to an entire group of people who the church spends very little effort or time on, if any.
When I heard Carl’s speak, I knew that I just had to have him on the show here, to share with you the same message he brought to the Lifespring! church in Riverside, CA. I think you’ll find him fascinating, and I think you’re about to have your eyes opened to a new way of thinking about the disabled.

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to sit down with one of the most important people in my life, Del Brixey. This is a man that God has used more than once to bring me face to face with Himself. He and his wife, Kathi, are doing some very special and very important things today that I wanted you to hear about.
Way back on Lifespring! 85, which I named "Faith Personified", I talked with Kathi, in which she talked about her battle with multiple sclerosis and cancer. I love these two people, and I hope you will too.

Another packed show today! Some great new music, an "Ask Steve" question, catching up on the last few weeks, what's in store for the Lifespring! family of show in 2008, and a bit more news!
The "Ask Steve" question from a listener is actually a multi-part question:
* Why do the four Gospels have different accounts of Jesus' ministry, like about His life, arrest and persecution? The scriptures certainly can not contradict itself.
* The Bible of course does not teach reincarnation; Heb 9:29 [show]ERROR: No passage found for your query.
. Can you please explain these scriptures: Malachi 4:5 & 6 [show] "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. (ESV)
And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction." (ESV)
and Matt 11:10-14 [show] This is he of whom it is written,
"'Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way before you.'
Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come. (ESV)
, and was John the Baptist Elijah?
* What is the different between the Holy Spirit & the nine gifts of the Spirit, are the nine gifts the embodiment of the Holy Spirit? If a person has the Spirit of God (The Holy Spirit) does it means that the person also has the nine gifts of the Spirit of 1Cor 12:7-13 [show]ERROR: No passage found for your query.
