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 [...]

Oh the MADNESS
Posted in Children, Culture War, Prayer on March 15, 2012 |
I love this time of year! March Madness! It’s basketball, basketball, basketball! Even the President is getting into the act of picking which team he thinks will cut down the nets in New Orleans in three weeks. Did you hear? He’s picking… Drum roll please… Yep…the Heels! He’s going with North Carolina Tar Heels. If [...]
I Scared, Daddy

“I scared, Daddy.” Those were the words that I faintly heard Tuesday night spoken to me from the hallway of my home from Andrew, my six-year-old son. Isn’t he a cutie? Well, back to the story. He whispered from the hall, “I scared, Daddy.” We had just put him and Clara to bed and I [...]
Necessities
Posted in Culture War, Elder/Pastor, Missions, Prayer on October 25, 2011 |
Much has been circulating through my mind lately. Truthfully, much like you I’m sure, our minds seem to operate at warp speed most of the time. How much time do we really have to think or pray? Not much I’m afraid. Life’s so busy and the pace so hectic. This afternoon I was driving home [...]
Faith

Faith. What is it? Hebrews 11 says, “Things hoped for yet unseen.” I’ve seen faith exhibited right before my eyes over the last two weeks by a FAITH-ful couple in our church. There names are Jason and Katie Church. Back in January, Jason felt the leading of the Holy Spirit to begin the process of [...]
God’s Will?
Posted in Daily Living, Prayer on February 24, 2011 | 3 Comments »
One of the most asked questions I get as a pastor/elder is: How can I know God’s will for my life? It’s a great question. But, I have learned something over time that may sound odd when I share it with you. I don’t believe the Lord is so much interested in revealing a specialized, [...]
What’s Happened to Our Nation and What Must We Do?
Posted in Culture War, Prayer on October 10, 2010 |
We had homecoming at church today. It was a wonderful time indeed! Many dressed up in “old fashioned” duds that reflected the time period of 1875 when the church was founded. Katy and Kandace, my two girls and my sister’s girls Taylor and Leah played some good “oldies” for us. Like “I’ll Fly Away,” “Swing [...]
Mistaken Interpretations to Hearing God’s Voice
Posted in Family Life, Prayer on May 31, 2010 |
Recently I posted that God speaks in four primary ways: Circumstances (we call these open doors) People (family, friends, teachers, pastors, etc.) Prayer Word of God (The Bible) I shared that most people focus on the last two because they are easy and we “rubber stamp” the third one (prayer) and ask God to bless our [...]
