His life demonstrated the importance of “laying up these words of Mine in your heart and in your soul” (Deuteronomy. 11:18). May we all be inspired to do the same.

I cried when I heard the news today.
Very , very sad to hear this , wasn’t ready to let him go , this man did not hold back on his beliefs and if something wasn’t being taught or said that went with God’s ways , well ole Jack would tell it like it is . , I learned ALOT listening to him and hearing his passion and love for Jesus. I know Ms.Roxella(?) sure is missing him , our thoughts and prayers go out to her and family. Thank you Jack for being in my life through television.
