For many years of his ministry, especially since 1971 in Fullerton California, Chuck exclusively used the New American Standard Version Ryrie Study Bible in his preaching. However, beginning in early 2013, after careful investigation, personal research, and discussions with those involved in the publishing of The New Living Translation, he has switched to that version of the Bible in his public ministry. Approximately 90 biblical scholars went to the original texts during the foundational work of their translation to guarantee the accuracy of their efforts.

These devoted individuals then pursued the best and most helpful ways to express the meaning of the biblical text in our English language, which resulted in a much more readable translation. Because Chuck's threefold commitment remains the same (accuracy, clarity, and practicality), he desired to use a version of the Bible that did not require a seminary-trained scholar to understand it, and yet he wanted to make certain the version he used remained faithful and true to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts. Chuck has come to realize that The New Living Translation best serves his purpose in helping others realize how reliable, relevant, timeless and true God's Word remains to this day.

Chuck uses a simple method of Bible study he learned from Dr. Howard Hendricks, Chuck's beloved professor and mentor at Dallas Theological Seminary. It's based on three concepts: observation, interpretation, and application. Dr. Hendricks and his son, William Hendricks, have compiled their ideas for Bible study in an excellent, easy-to-read resource Living by the Book (Chicago: Moody Publishers, 1993), which we highly recommend.

Insight for Living Ministries is committed to excellence in communicating the truths of Scripture and the person of Jesus Christ in an accurate, clear, and practical manner so that people will come to an understanding of God's plan for their lives, as well as their significant role as authentic Christians in a needy, hostile, and desperate world. We invite you to learn more about our mission and ministry in Canada.

Our vision is to provide one million Canadians with Bible-teaching resources by 2020. We believe this is the first step to helping people understand God's Word for, as Romans 10:14 says, "How then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?" (NIV) Read more about our vision for ministry in Canada.
