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”
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”

I would like to invite all readers of this blog to a very special event we are having at Whitesburg Baptist Church this weekend. It’s the renewal of “I Love America.” The picture above was made at Wednesday evening’s dress rehearsal.

Why every Christian should go on a mission trip

No unconfessed sin
“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 (New American Standard Version) “If we say that we haveContinue reading “No unconfessed sin”
He is always on my mind!
“I will praise the Lord who counsels me — even at night my conscience instructs me. I keep the Lord in mind always. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” (Psalm 16:7–8, HCSB) I read these words this morning in my Bible reading and prayer time. As I read them,Continue reading “He is always on my mind!”
Sowing and Reaping
For some reason, all this week, I have had a message on my heart that I shared last year during an evening service at Whitesburg. I want to share it with the readers of this blog. Below are the basic preaching notes that I used in this message… “Sowing and Reaping” Galatians 6:6-10 You’veContinue reading “Sowing and Reaping”
A simple reminder from a familiar place
This Monday morning I was up early and praying. It’s a big and busy week of ministry. Even though my daily Bible reading finds me in another section of the Bible, I could not get the 23rd Psalm off my mind today. It really spoke to me in a fresh way… “A Psalm of David.Continue reading “A simple reminder from a familiar place”
35 years at one church: A salute to my pastor
Today is a special day at Whitesburg. We are celebrating with our pastor, Dr. Jimmy Jackson, on the occasion of his 35th anniversary as Senior Pastor of Whitesburg Baptist Church. In today’s world, such a tenure is extremely rare. In fact, just this week, I read that the average tenure of a Southern Baptist ConventionContinue reading “35 years at one church: A salute to my pastor”
