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)”
Finding the will of God (Part 1)
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.

Happy 15th birthday, David!!

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”
The little church that could
This past week our family spent the week along with 24 other members of our church on a mission trip in the Williamsburg, Kentucky area. As usual on a mission trip, I found myself immeasurably blessed by the folks that we went there to help. Each evening, our team helped Wolf Creek Baptist Church conductContinue reading “The little church that could”
