July 20, 2014. “This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the…

“Trust me, beloved child.”
July 18, 2014. Lord, I come before you now as a broken and run down soul. I lay it down before you as my out come was not your goal. I lie here weary from the road paved thin and cracked. Lord, you know where I’ve been and I want to make it back. The…
To whom should we give respect?
July 16, 2014. There is a saying that goes around in our society that says “respect is not given, it’s earned,” or something along those lines. The premise is that you do not just automatically have respect with people, but you must gain respect through your actions and the way you handle situations. On some…
How important is the resurrection?
July 14, 2014. As we journey further into the 21st century, it seems that more and more people of the religious world are rejecting the literal resurrection of Christ. I would expect this from non-believing skeptics, but not from Christians. I don’t think there are a large number of those who wear the name of…
Jesus is Lord.
July 13, 2014. “Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the…
Behold, the Christ.
July 12, 2014. I listened to a great sermon last night entitled “Behold the Christ” by V. P. Black that I would recommend listening too. You can find it by clicking on the link above, if you are interested. It is an older sermon in a style that you may not be accustomed to, but…
Is it fair?
July 11, 2014. Today I want to talk a little bit about fairness. We all have an almost innate sense of fair. Actually, I would call it innate, or what C.S. Lewis would call moral law. If we take an honestly look at a situation, we understand what treating someone with fairness means, at least…
The power of Christ to lift us up.
July 10, 2014. “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you…
Three styles of preaching.
July 6, 2014. “[A]s it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” “Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under…
Righteousness exalts a nation.
July 4, 2014. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!” (Psalm 33:12) Happy ‘Merica day! The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays for several reasons, not the least of which being grilling out and pyrotechnics. I’m sure you’ll see many posts…
Commitment.
July 3, 2014. “But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name.” So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it…
God and time, part two.
June 30, 2014. Yesterday’s post (God and time, part one.) was the first in a two part series to try to understand a how God fits in and out of time and the implications we can draw from it. If you have not read yesterday’s post, I would suggest you do so now to get…
