The Inerrancy & Authority of the Bible
It seems like the issues just keep coming. In 2015 the issue was marriage; now in 2016 the issue is bathrooms. I shutter to even think of what the 2017 issue could be. There is pressure to compromise on every side. Increasingly, leaders in many areas of our culture insist that all must get onContinue reading “The Inerrancy & Authority of the Bible”
Good reasons to be Southern Baptist
Particularly in the last decade, new models of “doing church” and churches working together (networks rather than denominations) have arisen. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Many of these churches and networks are preaching the gospel of Christ, seeing people come to faith, and taking the gospel to the world. Much has been writtenContinue reading “Good reasons to be Southern Baptist”
Leading the people of God
“For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you—” (Titus 1:5, NKJV) Titus was a Gentile who had come to faith in Christ – possibly even led to Christ by the Apostle Paul himself.

It was also my joy to explainContinue reading “Why I have a picture of Spurgeon in my office”
“Small churches” = BIG IMPACT
Recently, well known Pastor Andy Stanley made news with comments he made regarding parents who take their children to small churches. To Andy’s credit, he apologized in a very heartfelt way, and my intent here is not to rehash that issue. However, this recent dust up did cause me to begin thinking about the impactContinue reading ““Small churches” = BIG IMPACT”
Our God never forsakes us
This morning I stood and prayed at a hospital bedside with a family facing a very serious health crisis. As I prayed with them, one verse echoed in my mind… “Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you norContinue reading “Our God never forsakes us”
Lakeside’s most prayed for Easter ever
“On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

Pray for the Persecuted
““If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. “If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. “Remember the word thatContinue reading “Pray for the Persecuted”
