It’s so wonderful when the Word of God speaks to us in a new and fresh way. Over the weekend in my personal Bible reading Psalm 12 jumped off the page for me. As many times as I have read it, it is more meaningful to me today than ever before. First please allow meContinue reading “A Powerful Word in a Changing World”

The Greatest Generation
This week I visited a church member in the ICU of a local hospital. Even though he had been through a rough time, he was able to talk with me and in our conversation he referred to his time in combat during World War II. As I talked with him, I was humbled and aContinue reading “The Greatest Generation”
Clash of the worldviews
Dr. Del Tackett who helped produce Focus on the Family’s excellent series “The Truth Project” defines a person’s worldview in this way… A person’s worldview consists of the values, ideas or the fundamental belief system that determines his attitudes, beliefs and ultimately, actions. It’s important to understand that there are many worldviews in operation today.Continue reading “Clash of the worldviews”
The silent judgment of God
“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”

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. In his sermon to Southern Baptists that year, McDowell surprisingly did not speak about the evidence for the Christian faith. Instead he discussed the rise of what he called “theContinue reading “The new tolerance isn’t the old tolerance: Josh McDowell saw it coming”
Religious liberty is at stake
Most of the time I write my own articles on this blog, but today I am compelled to simply urge all of my readers to carefully read this post from Dr. Albert Mohler, along with the column in the New York Times in order to better understand the issues that we are facing. 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”
