“I can resist anything – except temptation!” – Oscar Wilde You probably chuckled when you read that statement. I know that because all of us know what it is like to resist temptation and fail! However, every single one of us faces struggles and temptations where the consequences of our decisions are enormous. Every singleContinue reading “When you are tempted…”

A prayer of repentance
“Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? And who may stand in His Holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.” Psalm 24:3-4 “If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves andContinue reading “A prayer of repentance”
Pressing On
How do you keep going when your heart is broken? How do you keep going when everything in you says to quit? How do you press on when everything around you says to stop? Yesterday morning at Whitesburg, I shared a message entitled “Pressing On” and looked at five reasons why we can press onContinue reading “Pressing On”
Finding the will of God (Part 2)
In my previous post, I began exploring this very common question: How can I find the will of God? In that post, we saw that the foundational components for decision making as a Christian are the Word of God and prayer. I cannot emphasize enough how important those two aspects are. They are two primaryContinue reading “Finding the will of God (Part 2)”

Over the years, most pastors will tell you that there are a handful of questions that come up over and over again – no matter what size church you serve and no matter what type of community you serve in.

“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”” (Isaiah 6:8, NKJV) One of my favorite Old Testament passages is the prophet Isaiah’s vision of the Lord high and lifted up in Isaiah 6. After the deathContinue reading “Living “sent””
How do you witness to someone of another faith or no faith?
As nearly every community in America grows more diverse, it becomes increasingly important to get comfortable sharing Christ with people of another faith or no faith at all. For those of us who grew up in the Bible belt, that can be a daunting task. Some time back, I shared a message with our highContinue reading “How do you witness to someone of another faith or no faith?”
An Acts 11:24 man
One of my favorite “less well known” Christians in the New Testament is Barnabas. He is rightly known as the great encourager. In Acts 11, word reaches the mother church in Jerusalem about what God is doing in the church at Antioch. The leaders of the Jerusalem church decide to send Barnabas to Antioch inContinue reading “An Acts 11:24 man”
