I do like both of them... and even love... they have such a warmth to their preaching style that sets them
apart in my mind from someone like Johnny Mac... Adrian has been gone for many years now, and Charles...
a lot less time has passed since his passing... just over two years now! Wow, times goes by so quickly... and
Adrian departed this world almost twenty years ago, though both can still be heard on kari55.com (<= link)
along with an assortment of other teachers whom I benefit from listening to...

WHAT MATTERS TO GOD MATTERS TO US . . .Sunday May 18, 2025
Making a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves – sorting out right from wrong, good from bad, and our part in past events – is an important foundation for building our life in recovery. God’s Word as recorded in the Bible is the standard against which all of us must measure our behaviour. Reviewing our thoughts, actions, and deeds against God’s standards will show us where we have gone our own way rather than following God’s way.
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world— the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life— is not from the Father but from the world. The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever. 1 John 2:15-17
James 1 verses 14-15; 1 John 2 verse 16 Each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. For all that is in the world- the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life- is not from the Father but from the world.
In our addiction, we participated in habits and lifestyles that were destructive because we either didn’t know, or didn’t want to obey God’s principles for life. We feared pain, craved pleasure, desired power, and simply wanted to have our own way in whatever we chose to do. We tried whatever we thought would bring us satisfaction and joy. Nothing we tried brought us lasting fulfillment.
A fearless and moral inventory of ourselves requires honest asking, honest reflecting, and honest assessment, of the values we currently hold compared with God’s principles. We review how our thinking and actions fell short of God’s standards. God sent Jesus into the world not to condemn us for what we have done, but to save us from it. We truly matter to God! As we practice God’s principles in all our affairs, we will build a meaningful and contented life with God’s blessing upon us.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns. See if there
is any offensive way in me; lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24
