Tweet“Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight.” I learned that song as a kid, and probably many of you did as well. The night I received Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, everything was ultra-clear. I was a sinner. Jesus died to pay the penalty of sin. I needed Him [...]

I Like J. C. Ryle’s Thoughts on Redemption
TweetOne of the issues I struggled with deeply in the past is Calvinism… election… predestination, pick your term (but two are biblical for sure). I love the way Spurgeon addressed the question once about how he reconciled election and free will, simply stating that he didn’t have to reconcile friends. Today I stumbled on a [...]
Whom God Saves, God Seals
TweetIn the year 2000, Angie and I bought our first home. It was sweet! We took one day with the realtor. About the fifth or sixth and final house we looked at that day was the perfect fit. We headed to the realtor’s office and filled out an offer form and included with it our [...]

Tweet[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download the MP3 Based on 2 Timothy 4:6-8 ONE GREAT TRUTH: It is possible to live life without regrets, but only as we understand God’s unfolding plan of redemption in our lives.
Ten Years… And Counting!
TweetToday marks our tenth anniversary as a married couple. I’ve done quite a bit of reflecting back on that very special moment when we were pronounced husband and wife by my father-in-law. I showed up at the church a few hours before the wedding and it was pouring down rain. I wanted to wait until [...]
Missing Links In Modern Christianity
TweetIn this decade, conservative Christianity has lost some great giants of the faith. I was reflecting on the passing of Jack Hyles, long time Pastor of First Baptist Church in Hammond, Indiana. He was an interesting character with a unique leadership style. Far too many young Pastors went to their ministerial deaths trying to imitate [...]
One Very Loud “Amen!”
TweetToday, Jesus got an ovation, and it was awesome! There is something about applause during a sermon that makes me extremely uncomfortable in my own skin, yet today it was highly appropriate. The verse was Revelation 1:7, a strange text for Christmas Eve, though very appropriate when the context is compared to the night before [...]
It’s High Time
TweetWhat a great day! We saw our highest Sunday School attendance since April and enjoyed a wonderful day with Bro. Grady Higgs. The morning message was especially impactful to me personally. There are times when the Pastor needs to hear some bold preaching and it was “high time” for me as Bro. Grady expounded Romans [...]
When God Foresees Our Forsaking
Tweet“And the Lord shall scatter you… And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands… But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if you seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.” -Deut. 4:27-29 Imagine saying on your wedding day, “Honey, I [...]
A New Counterculture
Tweet”And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the Scriptures, Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.” –Acts 17:2-3 In the 1970’s, America saw a [...]
