On several recent occasions, I have overheard conversations among people about their investments. Sometimes people share about their investment adviser, and other times they discuss the latest stocks that have performed well.

Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a day that America has set aside to remember those who died while serving our country in the armed forces. From what I have read, Memorial Day originated after the Civil War as an effort to remember those who had fallen in that way, and by the turn of the 20th centuryContinue reading “Memorial Day”
25 years ago – Always an Ider Hornet
During this week of graduations for our local high schools, it hit me that it was 25 years ago this week that I graduated from Ider High School… Yes, I was part of class of 1988 at Ider High School.

Last night during our Wednesday evening service, I finished a series on the life of David. Over a period of several months, I covered all the major events in his life as recorded in scripture.

“For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time for my departure is close. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Timothy 4:6–7, HCSB) As many times as I have read these words of the Apostle Paul, they leaped offContinue reading “Finishing well – a personal prayer”
Two overlooked things that God has given
While I am a pastor who preaches every week and often multiple times per week, one of the great privileges of my life is to also sit under the expository preaching ministry of our Senior Pastor, Dr. Jimmy Jackson. During his message yesterday morning, he preached from these verses… “His divine power has given usContinue reading “Two overlooked things that God has given”
A thoughtful response to the gay marriage issue
I just came across this interview from USA Today. The Catholic Archbishop of San Francisco gives a very thoughtful defense of traditional marriage and the life of the unborn. While I certainly would have many theological disagreements with Archbishop Cordileone, I do admire his very strong stand on these issues and his responses are wellContinue reading “A thoughtful response to the gay marriage issue”
Choosing to rejoice
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4, HCSB) That’s a short, simple verse, but boy is it packed with meaning. First of all, the Greek word translated “rejoice” is chairete which has several shades of meaning as used in the New Testament. According to the language tools I consulted,Continue reading “Choosing to rejoice”
