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...

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...

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...

Our Changing Culture: Reacting to the reality of an America without Christian values.

I heard a Sunday school teacher say recently that Christians in America had become soft. He was lamenting the fact that so many believers feel entitled to a certain amount of respect from an increasingly secular society. That we have become accustomed to such treatment cannot be disputed. We protest when our positions are challenged, complain when unbelievers criticize the...

Learning to Be Thankful for Thorns

Several years ago I planted three Double Knockout rose bushes in my back yard. These roses continually produce a high volume of unique blooms that are twice as full as normal roses. They also require substantial pruning several times during the growing season. While the blooms are beautiful the pruning is not fun. They produce twice the undergrowth and have...

Trusting God in the Darkness

Spiritual understanding is not man’s strong suit. We are constrained by our circumstances and limited by our humanity. A believer’s faith should provide comfort and assurance in times of anxiety and confusion, but it often doesn’t. We eagerly claim the promise of Romans 8:28 to help explain God’s actions and remind us that our heavenly Father is consciously manipulating events...
