• Author of Grace Gone Wild! and National Television Pastor Coming to Aurora
Aurora, Ill., Oct. 18, 2005 (The Religion Wire™ ) — The Aurora Christian Ministry Network(ACMN) and the Total Living Network(TLN) are inviting Fox Valley pastors and Christian leaders to a special morning meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 25, 9 a.m., at the TLN headquarters, 2880 Vision Court, Aurora, with Dr. Robert Jeffress of Wichita Falls, Texas. Dr. Jeffress topic will be Using the “F” Word in Ministry. Refreshment will be served. He will also appear on the Oct. 24, 9 p.m., TLN Live! broadcast.
Jeffress is a man of earnest conviction and unflinching authenticity. And yet, throughout his zealous pursuit for the truth, he has also deeply experienced the compassion and mercies of God’s grace. His personal confrontations with the abuses of “bad grace” and his exploration of the joys and liberty of “good grace” have led him to share his insightful discoveries in his latest book, Grace Gone Wild! As Senior Pastor of the 9,500-member First Baptist Church of Wichita Falls, Texas, Dr. Jeffress is an unwavering believer and outspoken supporter of the essential truths proclaimed in the Bible. A few years ago, Dr. Jeffress spearheaded a movement in his community to remove from the public library shelves, two children’s books that promoted the homosexual lifestyle. The resulting firestorm garnered nationwide press coverage from media outlets including the New York Times, Associated Press, NBC television, ABC radio, Rush Limbaugh and PBS.
His courageous, biblically based stance on abortion, homosexuality and the Christian faith is an inspiration not only to his church, but also to the hundreds of thousands of viewers who watch his weekly television program, Pathway to Victory. The program airs on more than 1,100 stations and cable systems in thirteen countries around the world.
Dr. Jeffress has served as the Senior Pastor of FBC Wichita Falls since 1992. He is a graduate of Baylor University, Dallas Theological Seminary and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is the author of fifteen books, including When Forgiveness Doesn’t Make Sense, Hearing the Master’s Voice, The Solomon Secrets (2002 Gold Medallion Finalist), I Want More! and Hell? Yes!
