I will confess, I do enjoy talk radio.  As an avid sports fan, I enjoy sports talk – particularly about college football and basketball.  I also enjoy news talk about politics and current events.  Several months back, I realized that I had fallen into the trap of turning on my radio to talk radio everyContinue reading “Podcasts that teach and encourage me”

Today I finally had time to breath and sat down to write a blog post. Sadly, I realized that it has been almost six weeks since I posted. To all my readers, I am sorry and I will try to do better!  There really isn’t one “reason” why I haven’t posted, but rather it isContinue reading “Living By Faith”

“And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,” (Ephesians 4:11, NASB95)   This verse describes the Biblical office of a pastor.  First and foremost, God calls men to be pastors.  Being a pastor is not something that we decide to do, but ratherContinue reading “On being a Pastor – the 20 year mark”

Tuesday, January 28 began just like a normal day. There was slight talk of a dusting of snow, but no one expressed any real concern.  Even as snow began to fall around 10 a.m. no one had any idea that within an hour all of the Birmingham metro area would look like this… Believe itContinue reading “Reflections after a storm”

41 years ago today, the United States Supreme Court issued the famous Roe v. Wade decision.  See below a blog post that I wrote a year ago while serving in Huntsville on the 40th anniversary of this decision. I am looking forward to learning about the pro-life ministries that we have in the Birmingham areaContinue reading “41 years ago today…”

On Monday & Tuesday of this week, I had the privilege of gathering with almost 400 other pastors from 28 states for one and only one reason: to pray.  I must admit that it was one of the most refreshing times I have experienced. The agenda really was focused on the Lord and prayer. WeContinue reading “A prayer meeting in Atlanta”

Like many readers of this blog, I spent Monday night riveted to the television watching the Auburn-Florida State national championship football game. It was a great game between two great teams. Certainly, big-time college sports is greatly influenced by money, and there are many who fail to keep it in the proper perspective.  It’s easyContinue reading “In their proper place, team sports are good thing.”

“With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,” (Ephesians 6:18, NASB95) It’s so easy to be selfish – even with our prayer life.  While I do keep two “prayer lists” consisting of peopleContinue reading “How may I pray for you?”

“Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what liesContinue reading “Pressing on in 2014”

As I shared in a previous post, the story of the wise men is always a highlight of the Christmas story for me. Yes, we all know the story of how they brought their gifts to Jesus… “After hearing the king, they went on their way. And there it was—the star they had seen inContinue reading “Christmas with the Wise Men (Part 2) – bring your gifts to Jesus!”
