Dear Reader,The horrific and tragic events of September 11, 2001 and the

continuing threats have thrust fear and uncertainty upon not onlyAmericans but upon free people around the world. We have grieved withand for the families who have lost loved ones. We wonder aloud and in ourmost private moments of solitude, how could this have happened. In but afew moments time, all of our lives have been forever changed.

Early this year, we received a copy of Businessmen and Christianity,a publication of Europartners. It was here that we first read, “A Charge toKeep.” It is the testimony of then Texas Governor and presidentialcandidate, George W. Bush.

With the tragedies of September 11, we felt it necessary to depart abit from the regular format of Answer. We requested and have been grantedpermission by Peter J. Briscoe, Europartners President, to reprint this storyand do so here, in part. (A Charge to Keep by George W. Bush will give youeven greater insight into the man and all that has shaped him.)

In the last several weeks, many people have reprioritized their lives.Things once held dear, no longer hold such significance. Family andfriends—relationships take on greater and deeper importance. Yet, manylive in fear wondering what tomorrow will bring.

Do you know someone who is struggling for peace of mind?Someone who can’t sleep at night? Someone who is afraid to fly or to opentheir mail?

Jesus said: “Peace, my peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you;not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor letit be fearful.” (John 14:27)

As we once again near that season when two thousand years ago,the choirs of heaven sang, “Glory to God in the Highest and on earth, peaceamong men with whom He is pleased,” may the Prince of Peace rule in ourhearts and over our lives.

“Jesus is the Answer for the world today.” When you have finishedreading, please share this issue with someone you care about.

The Editorial Staff

The seeds of my decision tobecome a Christian had beenplanted by the Reverend Billy

Graham.He visited my family for a summer

weekend in Maine. We all had lunch onthe patio overlooking the ocean.

One evening, my dad asked Billy toanswer questions from a big group offamily members gathered for theweekend. He sat by the fire and talked.And, what he said sparked a change inmy heart.

I don’t remember the exact words.It was more the power of his example.The Lord was so clearly reflected in hisgentle and loving demeanor.

The next day we walked and talkedat Walker’s Point, and I knew I was inthe presence of a great man. He was like

a magnet. I felt drawn to seeksomething different. He didn’t lectureor admonish. He shared warmth andconcern.

Billy Graham didn’t make you feelguilty; he made you feel loved.

Over the course of that weekend,Reverend Graham planted a mustardseed in my soul, a seed that grew overthe next year. He led me to the path,and I began walking. And it was thebeginning of a change in my life.

I had always been a religiousperson, had regularly attended church,even taught Sunday school, and servedas an altar boy. But that weekend, myfaith took on a new meaning. It was thebeginning of a new walk where I wouldrecommit my heart to Jesus Christ.

I was humbled to learn that God

sent His Son to die for a sinner like me.I was comforted to know that throughthe Son, I could find God’s amazinggrace, a grace that crosses every border,every barrier, and is open to everyone.Through the love of Christ’s life, I couldunderstand the life-changing powers offaith.

When I returned to Midland, Ibegan reading the Bible regularly. DonEvans talked me into joining him andanother friend, Don Jones, at a men’scommunity Bible study.The group had firstassembled the yearbefore, in the spring of1984, at the beginningof the downturn in theenergy industry.Midland was hurting. Alot of people werelooking for comfort,strength, and direction.A couple of men startedthe Bible study as asupport group and itgrew. By the time Ibegan attending in the fall of 1985,almost 120 men would gather. We metin small discussion groups of ten ortwelve, then joined the larger group forfull meetings.

Don Jones picked me up everyweek for the meetings. I rememberlooking forward to them. My interest inreading the Bible grew stronger, and thewords became clearer and moremeaningful.

Laura and I were active members ofthe First Methodist Church of Midland,and we participated in many familyprograms, including James Dobson’s“Focus on the Family” series on raisingchildren. As I studied and learned,Scripture took on greater meaning, andI gained confidence and understandingin my faith.

I read the Bible regularly. DonEvans gave me the One-Year Bible. Itwas divided into 365 daily readings,

each one including asection from the NewTestament, the OldTestament, Psalms, andProverbs. I readthrough that Bibleevery other year.During the years inbetween, I pickdifferent chapters tostudy at different times.I have also learned thepower of prayer. I prayfor guidance. I do notpray for earthly things,

but for heavenly things, for wisdom,patience, and understanding.

My faith gives me focus andperspective. It teaches humility. But, Ialso recognize that faith can bemisinterpreted in the political process.

Faith is an important part of mylife. I believe it is important to live myfaith, not flaunt it.

Faith changes lives. I know becausefaith has changed mine. I could not be

governor if I did not believe in aDivine plan that supersedes allhuman plans.

Politics is a fickle business. Pollschange. Today’s friend is tomorrow’sadversary. People lavish praise andattention. Many times, it is genuine.Sometimes, it is not.

Yet, I build my life on afoundation that will not shift. Myfaith frees me. Frees me to put theproblem of themoment inproperperspective. Freesme to makedecisions thatothers might notlike. Frees me totry to do the rightthing, eventhough it maynot “poll” well.

I have areverence for life.My faith teachesthat life is a gift from our Creator. Ina perfect world, life is given by Godand only taken by God.

I hope that someday our societywill respect life, the full spectrum oflife—from the unborn to the elderly.I hope someday unborn childrenwill be protected by law andwelcomed in life.

Two weeks after Jeb’sinauguration, in the church indowntown Austin, the pastor was

telling me that my reelection as thefirst Governor to win back-to-backfour-year terms in the history of thestate of Texas was a beginning, notan end.

The minister talked of visitingYellowstone with his family. Theyjoined a crowd gathered around OldFaithful, waiting and watchingexpectantly. He joined as theycounted down--five-four-three-two-

one--and wassurprised to feeltears welling inhis eyes as hejoined in thecheers for theerupting geyser.“And then Irealized I hadjust clapped for ageyser,” MarkCraig said. “Whaton earth movespeople toapplaud with

tears in their eyes for cascadingwater?” he asked, then answered hisown question: “Faithfulness. Peopleare starved for faithfulness.

He talked of the need forhonesty in government; he warnedthat leaders who cheat on theirwives will cheat their country, willcheat their colleagues, will cheatthemselves. The minister said thatAmerica is starved for honestleaders.

"I was humbledto learn thatGod sent His

Son to diefor a sinner like me."

He told the story of Moses, asked byGod to lead His people to a land ofmilk and honey. Moses had a lot ofreasons to shirk the task. As the pastortold it, Moses’ basic reaction was,“Sorry, God, I’m busy. I’ve got a family.I’ve got sheep to tend. I’ve got a life.”

“Who am I that I should go toPharoah and bring the sons of Israelout of Egypt?” Moses asks in the thirdchapter of Exodus. “The people won’tbelieve me,” he protested. “I’m not avery good speaker. Oh, my Lord, send, Ipray, some other person,” Mosespleaded. But God did not, andultimately, Moses did His bidding,leading His people through forty yearsof wilderness and wandering, relying onGod for the strength, and direction, andinspiration.

“People are starved for leadership,”Pastor Craig said, “starved for leaderswho have ethical and moral courage.It is not enough to have an ethicalcompass, to know right from wrong,” heargued. “America needs leaders whohave the moral courage to do what isright for the right reason. It’s not alwayseasy or convenient for leaders to stepforward,” he acknowledged; “remember,even Moses had doubts.”

“He was talking to you,” my motherlater said. The pastor was, of course,talking to all of us, challenging each oneof us to make the most of our lives, toassume the mantle of leadership andresponsibility wherever we find it.

He was calling on us to use what-ever power we have in business, inpolitics, in our communities, and in ourfamilies to do good for the rightreasons. And the sermon spoke directlyto my heart and my life.

There was no magic moment ofdecision. After talking with my familyduring the Christmas holidays, thenhearing the rousing sermon to make themost of every moment, I gradually feltmore comfortable with the prospect ofa presidential campaign.

My family would love me. My faithwould sustain me. No matter what.

To gain more insight into thepersonal and political experiencesthat have shaped President Bush andthe heart of the man, you will wantto read A Charge to Keep, George W.Bush (William Morrow & Company,Inc.)

“A Charge to Keep I Have”by Charles Wesley

A charge to keep I have,A God to glorify,

A never dying soul to save,And fit it for the sky.

To serve the present age,My calling to fulfill;

O, may it all my powers engageTo do my Master’s will!

"Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful."1 Corinthians 4:2

When I woke up lying in a hospitalbed with an oxygen mask overmy face, surprised would be too

mild a word to describe my reaction.“What happened?” I asked. “What am

I doing here?”A research physicist in a glass-making

plant, five hours earlier I had been takingtemperature and pressure readings on afurnace. Though it seeped poisonous gas, Ihad no way of detecting the odorlesssubstance.

Fortunately, the night before myemployer had changed procedures, addinga second man to the night shift.

Without my partner, my life wouldhave ended on the floor where I passedout. The doctor told me later, “You nearlydied.”

Death! The thought of it had toubledme from a young age. Especially after two

friends had died, one from drowning andthe other in a motorcycle accident.

My fear of dying increased after beingin hospital.

On the surface I was a fairly happychap. I grew up in a coal mining villagesurrounded by farmland. My fatherworked on the railroad, and we had whatcould best be called a humble lifestyle.

In grade school I learned to playrugby, a rough game that helped medevelop macho pride. Later, I took updrinking, gambling and swearing that wereso common around the sport.

When I was 23 years old, I marriedNorma. When we learned she wasexpecting twins the year after our wedding,we were overjoyed.

But joy quickly turned to sorrow. Thegirls were born prematurely and only livedfor two days.

At the funeral I looked into theircoffin. Familiar fear returned. It felt as if Iwas in a dark cloud and was literallyshaking.

“Why did they only live for two days?”I thought. “What purpose was there forthem being born? What will happen whenI die and am put in a box and buried?”

Those feelings intensified 16 monthslater when Norma’s twin brother died inhis sleep. Just 24 years old.

Two weeks after this tragedy, ourdaughter Christina was born.

By this time, I had leftmy job in industry andwas teaching physics,mathematics, and sport athigh school.

I considered myself tobe a Christian, havingattended Church from ayoung age. I believed inGod, but didn’t knowHim. I did many wrongthings in my life.

One day, Peter, arepresentative from anelectronics firm, came tothe school where I taught to sell me someequipment. He witnessed to me aboutJesus.

As we chatted that afternoon, Peterasked where we were going on vacationthat summer. I replied, “Nowhere, sincemy wife was expecting a baby. The doctorsaid it could be twins and we have alreadylost twins.”

“We’ll be praying for you,” he said.That caught my attention. “Do you

really believe in prayer?”

“Yes,” he replied. “We’ve seen God domany things in answer to prayer.”

Continuing, he talked about Christand my fate. “You’re a sinner and deserveto go to hell,” he said. “But Jesus camefrom heaven and died on the Cross to takethe punishment for your sins. He arosefrom the dead and ascended into heaven.He will return for all those who have puttheir trust in Him. You need to repent ofyour sins and invite Jesus into your life.”

Two weeks later, Peter sent me a letter.It included the message, “God is doing

wonderful things in ourchurch. Come and see.”

Soon afterwards,Norma and I went to thechurch. We met peoplewho really loved Jesus.They shared with us whatGod had done in theirlives.

Driving home thatnight as I approached abend in the road, a carpulled out from behind abus. It headed straight forus.

Jamming my foot on the brake, Iclosed my eyes and waited for the crash.Nothing!

I opened my eyes. The bus and carhad gone. As I sat there, shaking, a voicegently asked, “Where will you spendeternity?”

I believe it was the voice of the LordJesus Christ and that if I had died then, Iwould have been lost forever.

As soon as I arrived home, the phonerang. It was Peter. “Someone had a vision

from ayoung age.

of headlights heading straight for your car,and we prayed for you,” he said.

After he hung up, I fell to my knees.“Jesus, I’m sorry for the wayI’ve lived,” I prayed. “Pleaseforgive me and come into myheart.”

As soon as I stood up, itfelt like pure water wasflowing through my body. Itwashed all my sins and fearsaway.

I knew then that I was achild of God, and for the firsttime in my life, I felt free.

Not long after that, I wasbaptised with the Holy Spirit,an experience that equipped me for thework that God had planned for me to do.

Norma also became a Christian. Wediscovered how much Jesus loved andcared for us and that He was interested inevery aspect of our lives.

Over 20 years ago, I received a callfrom God to leave my teaching job andwork full time for Him. God has providedfor us and proved His faithfulness.

I have ministered for the Lord inmany countries and have seen Himperform many wonderful works.

I have seen blind eyes and deaf earsopened, cancers disappear, among manyother wonderful healings.

I have even prayed for women whosupposedly couldn’t have children. Later,they sent me pictures of their offspring.

A moving experience was to see aman who had been the town drunk for 45years, come forward at a meeting to acceptJesus as his Saviour. He said he wanted to

be a new man in Jesus.I prayed for him. His elbow had been

seriously damaged in an accident that alsoleft his fingers paralysed. Notonly did Jesus heal his arm,but he was also healed ofheart and lung problems. Inaddition, he was set free fromalcoholism, smoking, andcompulsive gambling.

Just as he had asked, hebecame a totally new man inJesus!

I serve a wonderful,powerful, miracle-workingGod. Now that I know Him, Ino longer fear death.

He has given me eternal life, and Iknow that one day I will be with Him inheaven. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and theLife.

In truth,Godwas

pursuingme.

Allan Jones is National Director forBusiness Men’s Fellowship in the

United Kingdom, EuropeanCoordinator, and an honorary VicePresident of the Wigan Chapter. He

and his wife, Norma, have threechildren and four grandchildren.

They attend Billinge Family Church.

As the doctor approached in theemergency room, I instinctivelyknew that I didn’t want to hear

what he had to say.“Jason didn’t make it.”There’s no way I wanted

to accept the truth of myson’s death. I have neverexperienced a blacker,emptier moment. It wasincredibly painful.

In that instant, allmeaning in life drainedfrom me. Standing next tome, my wife, Diane, feltjust as numb.

Before this day, younever could have convinced me that such athing could happen in our little town.

Eight days earlier, we watched thehorrific events at Columbine High Schoolunfold. But we Canadians reasoned those

multiple murders were an Americanphenomenon.

I soon discovered we were even closerthan the hour that separated our home

from the border of westernMontana.

Just like in the U.S.,Canadians have grownaccustomed to an

environment that devalueshuman life. So when thecoast-to-coast publicitysurrounding Columbineunfolded, it fascinatedsome teens in our nation.

One was the 14-year-old student who pulled the

trigger and ended Jason’s life.The day it happened, this boy was

hanging out at the local high school. Hehad stopped attending to be homeschooled. But he still walked over daily at

11

“Jason didn’tmake it.”

THE DALE LANG STORY Taber, Alberta, Canada

“Power to Forgive”

12

lunch hour to talk with friends.On April 28, 1999, he told a buddy, “I

thought what the guys did at Columbinewas really cool. I want to know what itfeels like to shoot somebody.”

The other young man laughed it off.Afterwards, this boy went home to get a.22 semi-automatic rifle. Returning, heentered a side door. Seeing a teacher, andlater a student, he pointed the gun at themand told them to leave.

Then he turned to go down the hall.Our son and two friends were comingfrom the other direction, on their way toEnglish class. They didn’t know this youngman. They had never had any unpleasantencounters with him.

Still, he randomly fired four shots.Two missed. One struck Jason’s friend,causing spinal damage that took threesurgeries to correct. The other hit our sonin the chest. He lost consciousness in a fewminutes and never regained it.

This senseless act of violence stirredoutrage. People across Canada wanted toknow how we had arrived at the placewhere young people felt the need to takesuch horrible action.

Six months later, a radio talk showhost asked me, “Who’s responsible foryour son’s death?”

“If you want to talk aboutresponsibility, I will be the first to stand upand take some,” I replied. He immediatelyraised his eyebrows.

I explained how I had too oftenremained silent as conditions changed forthe worse over the past 30 years. Sincethen, I have reflected deeply on the eventsand forces that have damaged our society.

One is violent entertainment. I see itin the television programs and moviesmillions watch. And the video games ourchildren play for hours on end.

We have become fascinated withbloody, realistic-looking carnage. When ithappens in real life, we’re so used to seeingit on a screen we think little of it.

One key theme I’ve noticed behindthese stories is the idea of revenge. In somany words, the “hero” says, “Somebodydid wrong to me and I’m a pretty goodperson, so it’s okay for me to do wrong tothem to get even.”

Another negative characteristic is theevolution of the instant gratificationculture. It’s a step beyond self-centeredness.

People have been told so often byadvertisers and others that everything istheir “right” that they expect it right now,in exactly their way.

If people have to wait more than aminute in a fast food line, they get angry.If someone blocks them in traffic, theytake it as a license to beat the other driverup – even kill him.

Many other gradual developmentshave cheapened human life. For example,the widespread availability ofpornography. Some call that freedom, butin reality it makes us lower than animals.It leaves the impression that other peopleexist to be used and abused.

Turning this around won’t happenovernight. But it has to if we are to surviveas a civilized society. It will start oneperson, one family and one neighborhoodat a time.

I started the day after our son died.

After a sleepless night, I read a statementto the news media expressing forgivenessto Jason’s killer. But I never expected theintense reaction that followed.

Looking back, I can see that peopleare used to expressions of anger, hostilityand revenge. When I didn’t react that way,the public was so surprised that everyonewanted to know more.

However, I don’t credit the power toforgive to my own strength. No, that beganin 1977. Ironically, it was exactly 22 yearsbefore Jason died.

On that day, I received a call aboutour oldest son’s birth. I was standing onthe ice in an Arctic bay, where I had goneto fly a hot air balloon for an oilexploration company.

In that moment, I realized there wasmore to this existence than my own self-seeking, self-pleasing life.

That began an intense spiritualsearch. I read, studied and talked to manypeople. After eight months, I concludedthat Jesus was who He claimed to be. Hewas the Son of God and the way to eternallife.

Through faith in Him, I discoveredthat loving others is what brought the joyand happiness I had sought for so long. Iembraced the forgiveness that Christ madepossible through His death on the cross.

Because I’m forgiven, I can forgiveothers. This is a message I have takenacross the country. Through speaking tonumerous groups, I have become verygrateful for how this forgiveness haschanged my life.

This became very real at one churchwhere I spoke. Afterwards, a woman came

up to me with bitterness in her eyes.“My daughter was killed 15 years ago

by a drunk driver,” she said. “I was angryat the time it happened. I’ve been angryever since. I expect I’ll be angry until theday I die. And I don’t understand how youcan forgive.”

When I looked into her face, Irealized how deeply God’s grace hadtouched me. Because of the strength Heprovides, I had been able to avoid going toa place from which there is little chance ofreturn.

Sure, I hurt over my son’s loss. I thinkabout him daily. I will for the rest of mylife. But I don’t need to be a bitter, angryperson who ruins himself and his familywith resentment.

I’m so thankful for the miracles andwonders God has done in my life. Best ofall, I know one day Iwill see Jason again inheaven.

After accepting Christ, DaleLang left the hot-air balloon

business and became anAnglican priest. A father of five,

he has been the rector at St.Theodore’s Church in Taber

since 1988. This story was takenfrom a talk to he gave at the

Grand Prairie Chapter ofBusiness Men’s Fellowship.

As you have been reading the stories of thelives of different people in this issue of

Answer Magazine, you may have beenthinking, “Is it possible for me to really knowGod and have peace in my heart?”

The answer to this question is “YES!” It isexperienced by believing in God’s Son, the LordJesus Christ, and being born-again by HisSpirit.

God loves you and He showed that love insending His Son, Jesus, to die on the Cross topay the penalty for your sins. He wants to blessyour life and make it full and complete.

He not only offers you abundant life hereand now, but a life which is eternal. “For Godso loved the world that He gave His onlybegotten Son, that whoever believes in Himshould not perish but have everlasting life.”(John 3:16)

Do you want to be born-again and receivethe free gift of eternal life? If you do, thenfollow these steps:1. ADMIT to God that you are a sinner and

are separated from Him, and that only theLord Jesus can save you. “For all havesinned and fall short of the glory of God.”(Romans 3:23)

2. REPENT by turning away from sin andsubmitting to God. “I tell you… exceptyou repent, you shall all likewise perish.”(Luke 13:5)

3. BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ diedon the Cross and shed His blood to paythe price for your sins, that He was buried

and rose again. “If you will confess withyour mouth the Lord Jesus, and shallbelieve in your heart that God has raisedHim from the dead, you will be saved.(Romans 10:9)

4. ASK God to save you. “For whosoevershall call upon the Name of the Lordshall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)

If you would like to accept Jesus into yourlife, and receive the free gift of eternal life, thenpray this simple prayer out loud:—

“Dear God, I come to You in the Name ofJesus. I now realize that I have a choice tomake about my life. I believe that Jesus diedfor me, shed His blood to wash away my sins,and that He rose from the dead, making a wayfor me to have fellowship with You. I turn myback on the life I have lived without You, and Ichoose to follow Jesus from this moment on. Iask Jesus to be Lord of my life and to live inmy heart. I thank You, Almighty God, that Youlove me, have forgiven me, and have acceptedme as Your child, and that right now I am anew creation, born of God. Thank YouHeavenly Father.”
