“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)

The Lord has been good to the Institute for Creation Research. Over the last four and a half decades, God graciously increased the scope and influence of our ministry to truly global proportions. We experienced great joys along the way, as well as seasons of difficulty and serious need.

Recently, I was working with a supporter when he asked me an interesting question. “Brother Morris, do you believe planned giving is really giving at all?” My initial thought was “Yes, of course.” But the more I thought on this, the more I realized the answer is not that simple.

Early in my career, my boss would often tell me, “No more today, Henry. My brain is full.” As a young man unencumbered by maturity’s burdens, I found his comments rather amusing. But the older I get, the more truthful his words become. Memories do seem to slowly fade as the cares and pressures of the present drown out the voices of the past. It is so easy to forget.

If you have followed ICR for any length of time, you know our unique ministry is focused on scientific research, education, and communication.
