God is the King whose kingdom we often neglect,
the Spirit whose power we often ignore,
and the Friend whose presence we often forget.
Jeff McSwain is an ordinary guy with good news for ordinary people: even neglectful, ignorant, forgetful people can experience God’s presence and be filled with God’s power for His glory, and for the advancement of His kingdom.
Jeff and his wife, Wendy, have practiced surrender to God here and there through the years. (Jesus is the only one Who surrenders constantly to the Father). They adopted three children in addition to their three biological children. Each adoption proved a greater challenge and test of faith than the one before, culminating in the adoption of Nick. God sent Nick—an angry, belligerent teenage orphan at the time—so that the whole family would learn to love God and others by accepting and loving Nick, (and the pains he brought), and sharing together in his suffering.
Their children now range in age from mid-teens to mid-twenties, and love the Lord.
Jeff has led Bible Studies and Sunday School classes for all ages. He wants to exhort all people everywhere toward these ends:
That, in our moments,
we would seek God’s presence and engage Him as our closest Friend,
we would depend on the Holy Spirit, and move in His power,
and we would remember and prioritize God’s Kingdom over our own, in reverence to the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
