“In a world where anything goes…eventually everything will.” – Dr. James Merritt I had forgotten about that quote until I saw it today in a friend’s Facebook post. To be honest, it is a fitting quote to describe this week. Of course, here in Alabama the week began with court battles over the definition ofContinue reading “The silent judgment of God”

Yes, we are running against the wind
In light of the recent events in our state, I had intended to write a blog post of my own for today. However, I read a great article by my friend, Dr. Mark Foley, President of the University of Mobile. I was so moved by his words, I wanted to share them with you today.Continue reading “Yes, we are running against the wind”
Speaking the truth in love
There is absolute truth. I believe the Lord Jesus Christ is the only hope of salvation and the only way to Heaven. I believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. I believe the Lord Jesus Christ literally died on the cross for the sins of the world and literally rose again on theContinue reading “Speaking the truth in love”
The new tolerance isn’t the old tolerance: Josh McDowell saw it coming
In 1996 I attended my second Southern Baptist Convention in the New Orleans Superdome. One of the speakers was the well-known Christian apologist Josh McDowell.

Instead he discussed the rise of what he called “theContinue reading “The new tolerance isn’t the old tolerance: Josh McDowell saw it coming”

Powerful peopleContinue reading “Religious liberty is at stake”
Seasons
In Alabama this week, the season is definitely WINTER!! It’s been cold. I have friends who love it and eagerly look for the snow in every weather forecast. Other friends love winter because they hunt, etc. Personally, winter is my least favorite season. It’s followed by spring, which I don’t particularly enjoy because we alwaysContinue reading “Seasons”
Followed not found
It’s great to be back blogging again after taking a break for the holidays. While taking some time off, I read David Platt’s book Follow Me. In that book, he makes a statement that really resonated with me: “God’s will isn’t something we find; it’s something we follow.” All of us know what it isContinue reading “Followed not found”

Grief during the Christmas season
As I write these words, a precious family is due to arrive at our church facilities in about an hour for a visitation and memorial service. To lose a loved one is painful no matter the time of year, but when it happens so close to Christmas that seems to heighten the pain for yearsContinue reading “Grief during the Christmas season”
God keeps His word
God keeps His word. Every time. No exceptions. Did you know that is one of the great themes of the Christmas story we are all familiar with? It all begins during a crisis in Judah that took place over 700 years before Christ was born. King Ahaz is ruling in Judah and he receives wordContinue reading “God keeps His word”
