I want to use this space today to urge you to go see a movie the weekend of October 16-18, 2015. That is the premiere weekend for the movie Woodlawn in theaters.

Challenging trends in the same-sex marriage debate
As a pastor, I use words every week in my speaking and writing. I am also an observer of the words people use, the arguments people make, and how they make their arguments. In recent months, I have seen a definite shift in terms of the debate regarding same-sex marriage in our culture. As aContinue reading “Challenging trends in the same-sex marriage debate”
Visiting with an Old Friend – Psalm 27
This week leading up to Easter, I am consciously trying to spend less time looking at a screen (either the TV or my iPad) and more time consciously in the Word. Tonight as I settled in for the evening and began to catch up on my Bible reading plan, I realized that tonight’s reading wouldContinue reading “Visiting with an Old Friend – Psalm 27”
A Powerful Word in a Changing World
It’s so wonderful when the Word of God speaks to us in a new and fresh way. Over the weekend in my personal Bible reading Psalm 12 jumped off the page for me. As many times as I have read it, it is more meaningful to me today than ever before. First please allow meContinue reading “A Powerful Word in a Changing World”
Clash of the worldviews
Dr. Del Tackett who helped produce Focus on the Family’s excellent series “The Truth Project” defines a person’s worldview in this way… A person’s worldview consists of the values, ideas or the fundamental belief system that determines his attitudes, beliefs and ultimately, actions. It’s important to understand that there are many worldviews in operation today.Continue reading “Clash of the worldviews”
Speaking the truth in love
There is absolute truth. I believe the Lord Jesus Christ is the only hope of salvation and the only way to Heaven. I believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. I believe the Lord Jesus Christ literally died on the cross for the sins of the world and literally rose again on theContinue reading “Speaking the truth in love”
The new tolerance isn’t the old tolerance: Josh McDowell saw it coming
In 1996 I attended my second Southern Baptist Convention in the New Orleans Superdome. One of the speakers was the well-known Christian apologist Josh McDowell. In his sermon to Southern Baptists that year, McDowell surprisingly did not speak about the evidence for the Christian faith. Instead he discussed the rise of what he called “theContinue reading “The new tolerance isn’t the old tolerance: Josh McDowell saw it coming”
Followed not found
It’s great to be back blogging again after taking a break for the holidays. While taking some time off, I read David Platt’s book Follow Me. In that book, he makes a statement that really resonated with me: “God’s will isn’t something we find; it’s something we follow.” All of us know what it isContinue reading “Followed not found”
When you are tempted…
“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…”
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)”
