Lesson 129 - “What’s More Important: God or Basketball?”

Pastor Carl Swarr and his family were in ATI for 28 years, and they continue to attend Family Conferences even though their children are grown. In this video, Pastor Swarr explains to Bob Newhouse how meditating on the Word of God was their key focus all the years they were in the ATI Program.

In the midst of everything going on in life, are you asking "What is the most important thing that God requires of me?" From what we find written in both the Old Testament and the New it seems to be a question He loves to answer.

Gil Bates has a clearly-stated goal for his family: to lead them in the Lord's ways. But the Lord had to coach him first. Gil's testimony tells how God challenged him at home and at work to do what he never wanted to do in order to be the man he wanted to be.

As you may have begun to see from your own experience, an abundant life centers upon one vital discipline, the discipline of meditating faithfully on Scripture. By God's grace His words can transform our daily lives, including both our routine activities and its unexpected challenges.
