Living by the squares? What does that mean? It means this: And this… And this… And this… All of these items are square, aren’t they? They sure are. And there is nothing wrong with them, but I would tell you that they are taking over our lives. I was talking to a man the other [...]

Taking Care of Family

Five years ago I was in Israel and this was our tour guide. He was an Israeli and he was 74 years old. He was so bright and energetic. I could hardly keep up with this 74-year-old. I’m telling you, he was so knowledgeable and it was a joy to be with him for about [...]
Things that make you go…hmm??
Posted in Culture War on May 10, 2012 |
Recently, I’ve been amazed at various things I’ve been seeing and hearing from various circles of academia and science and our president. Yesterday our president, (the first one in history, I might add)… …has indicated his personal “evolution” to now be ok with same-sex marriage. Wow! This makes me go…hmm… I guess we should not be surprised. He has been leaning toward this [...]
A Guy’s Perspective
Posted in Culture War, Daily Living, Family Life, Marriage, Teens on May 7, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Without a doubt, the most viewed blog posts I’ve ever done have been the ones on dating and relationships. So many people, (young and old) have been supremely interested in what the Bible teaches about relationships and that’s so refreshing to me. I really believe people, especially our young adults are interested in getting off [...]
98-year-old Preacher
Posted in Church Practice, Culture War, Elder/Pastor, Family Life, Missions, Prayer on April 26, 2012 |
I got to experience the preaching of a true saint earlier today. Dr. M. O. Owens, Jr. is 98-years young and let me tell you, he preached up a storm. I was privileged to hear Dr. Owens preach at Binkley Chapel on the campus of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary today. What was the occasion? It [...]
Father to a Young Man: What’s Your Intentions?
Posted in Culture War, Family Life, Marriage, Teens on April 16, 2012 |
It’s been an interesting last few days. The last several blog posts have been some of the most viewed ever. I guess folks are really interested in dating/relationships and such. That’s good! We should be. After all, most Americans get married (at least once), and that’s a shame (the getting married more than once part) [...]
Pastors, Chicken-Q’s and Hunger Games
Posted in Culture War, Elder/Pastor, Missions, Teens on April 9, 2012 |
This is going to be an eclectic post (all over the place). I’m taking a short break from the relationship series and going to give you some “happenings” around the Brown home, etc. First of all…this just cracked me up! For the pastors who read this blog…you know it’s the truth! Ain’t it the truth! [...]

Well, before we get to that, I haven’t asked in a while…if you are receiving an email of these posts and would no longer like to receive such, just let me know and I’ll take care of that. No problem-o! Please remember, that this blog is simply…well…it’s [...]
What Does the Bible Say About Dating?
Posted in Culture War, Family Life, Marriage, Teens on April 3, 2012 | 1 Comment »
What does the Bible say about dating? Nothing. Zip. Zero. Nada. Dating and the practice of it, simply doesn’t exist in Scripture. Boy, this is such an important topic because it will affect every single person as they grow up. Every single one! For instance it’s prom season right now and everyone is scrambling around for a “date.” They’ve GOT [...]
How Do We Recognize “Mr. or Ms. Right?”
Posted in Culture War, Marriage on March 30, 2012 |
As we began to discuss earlier in the week…we’ll continue on the thought of how a person is to “find” Mr. or Ms. Right? I put the word “find” in quotations, because I want to accentuate the fact that a person does not have to “find” this person, but rather God helps them to recognize [...]
