I walked into Central Bible auditorium feeling small, almost lost. It was the week of the Spiritual Life Conference, and all I could think of when I entered the auditorium was that I was an ant in a large shoe box. God, I'm nothing. My life is a string of unanswered ques- tions. I feel I'm not enough for anything or anybody. I can't do anything right. I can't make any right decisions. God-don't You care? Don't You hear? Why are you silent? Spiritual life? What life? The Spiritual Life Confer- ence ran from September 6-10. The speaker? A Rev. Chuck Swindoll. Swindoll? Sounds like swindle. Swindle money, swindle the bank, swindle . . . Does God swindle? Maybe he swindled me when He planned my life. Why is it the way it is? I expected Swindoll to speak about how you can be- come an Isaiah in three easy lessons. Wasn't he a big-name pastor of a huge evangelical church in Fullerton, California? Fullerton? Isn't that L.A.? He'll probably wear White bucks and challenge us to bring the nation back to Christ. But I was Wrong. About the messages, I mean. His first mes- sage was about Jabez described in I Chronicles 4:9-10. Jabez was a nobody as far as the Bible Went. Two short verses. A no- body, just like me. Me, a big pain. In fact, thatls what the name Jabez meant-pain. But God blessed him, and he over- came his circumstances by asking God to allow him to continually be a living sacrifice to God, and to keep him from evil. Later on in the week, Swindoll spoke on the little- : , . Upper left.'
