For those who have been readers of this blog, let me apologize for not blogging more regularly. In the last two months, we have started our children into their new schools, purchased a home in the area where we serve, and moved in to that home.  Time to blog really hasn’t been there!  Now thatContinue reading “Back to regular blogging / Something for all of us to do on Tuesday!”

Last Sunday at Lakeside, I began a message series on the life of Abraham called “DEVOTED.”  In the first message, we talked about how Abraham’s tent represented his relationship with the world and his altar represented his relationship with God. In case you missed last Sundays message, below is a link where you can watchContinue reading “Devoted – The Life of Abraham”

“Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.”” (Revelation 11:15, ESV) Revelation 11:15 is one of my favorite verses in all of the Bible.  IContinue reading “Out of control or headed to a conclusion?”

Social media has been abuzz today with the decision handed down by the Supreme Court in the Hobby Lobby case.  Many conservative Christians (like myself) hailed this ruling as a great victory for religious liberty in our country.  Many of us in Christian leadership have prayed and followed this case very closely.

Once again, I write these words after a difficult week for our state due to severe weather.  While certainly not on the scale we saw three years ago, Alabama has once again seen multiple deaths, many tornadoes, and destruction in numerous areas.  My friend Dr. Ted Traylor serves in Pensacola, Florida which was hit withContinue reading “A faith that stands”

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” (James 1:5, NKJV) Wisdom. That’s a word we don’t hear very much today.  It means far, far more than just knowledge.  In fact, the great Bible teacher, Dr. JohnContinue reading “We need WISDOM”

1 Corinthians 15 is one of the most famous chapters in the Bible. It is commonly referred to as the “Resurrection Chapter” not because it tells the story of Jesus’ resurrection but because it speaks of the necessity of it and how it applies to our lives today. As we approach Easter Sunday 2014, IContinue reading “Easter Sunday and Every Sunday”
