Safely Home

The Testimony of Frank Davis “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us.”  (Romans 8:18) Several years ago (I believe it was in the spring of 2014), an elderly couple joined the church I was pastoring at the time in Centerville, GA. Frank and...

Believing is Seeing

“Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 The world tells us that “seeing is believing.” The suggestion is that unless we can see something with our own eyes, we will not believe it to be true. That was the position that Thomas took when told by the other disciples that Jesus...

Defining Faith

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” Hebrews 11: 1-3 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him,for...

The Essential Nature of Authentic Truth

I recently read a message board post written by an individual who declared himself to be an atheist. When challenged about his belief system, he insisted that he did not believe anything. When pressed about his view of life, he asserted that he has a reasonable expectation that certain things will happen because they have always (in his perception) happened...

Believing God in the Darkness

In January of 2022, I had the unexpected misfortune of catching Covid. I believe I caught it from one of my sons, who did not know he had it. Before that spring was over, my wife, all of my sons, two of my daughters-in-law, and several of my grandchildren had it. Nobody knew what strain they had (there were three...

New Book Release – 03/08/2022

To some people, saying that David had a godly heart is almost offensive. How do you apply that description to a man whose legacy includes neglecting responsibilities, lust, adultery, murder, deception, hypocrisy, and callous indifference? Saul, David’s predecessor as king of Israel, was guilty of deliberate rebellion, but Scripture gives no account of him ever engaging in the kind of...

The New Definition of Freedom:

Four positions that have changed the way freedom is viewed in America which will guarantee it’s destruction. “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” Abraham Lincoln Lincoln’s quote is an interesting commentary on the possession of freedom. It does not address the defense of freedom,...

A Culturally Relevant Church

Few people would argue with the contention that our culture is rapidly disintegrating. Believers and non-believers alike recognize the moral decay and lawlessness which has become so common in our society. While all agree that it is a disturbing trend, few have any wisdom to offer that will be effective in slowing the pace. What role does the church play...

PREPARING FOR EASTER

Easter Sunday is a wonderful day of celebration for believers as we remember the victory our Savior won over death, hell and the grave. Jesus’ resurrection from the dead is a glorious event that demonstrates His authority and empowers our hope. Paul emphasized the importance of the resurrection when he reminded the believers at Corinth that: “…if Christ be not...
