It’s Always a Trick
This week my wife and I had the opportunity to take a much needed anniversary vacation trip. We have had the joy of enjoying many of the wonderful and delightful pleasures that the Lord has given to His humans. The great outdoors, good food, rest, and relaxation. As I reflected upon the fun we have […]
75th Anniversary Homecoming
Today I had the wonderful delight to preach at the church I pastored for 14 years in Graysville, TN. It was such a great day, and I loved getting to see all of the folks again! I have a link below to the video. The quality is a bit rough, but I wanted to post […]
The Sacred Desk
This morning I have the joy to, with the Lord’s blessing, go up to Wayside Baptist where I pastored for many years. The Pastor, Bro John Dalton, has invited me up to speak in one of the services for Homecoming. I am truly excited. As I have been preparing for this, my mind has asked […]
Represent Him Well
The other day my wife had a minor operation done. We went to the new Erlanger East hospital to have it done. Her doctor, a Christian woman, did a great job. We were in and out in a matter of a few hours. Afterward my wife had no post-surgery eating restrictions. So, we immediately turned […]
Heaven and Hell
I know of only one bad thing about heaven: Some people won’t be there. I know of only one good thing about hell: Some people won’t be there.
He Never Stops
One of the most encouraging things about the nature of Almighty God, is that He is active. Yes, He rests, but even in resting He is doing something. But, He never turns off, goes to sleep, or ceases to care. He doesn’t take a vacation from being God. Anytime I’m discouraged, or feel like I […]
An Illustration of Revival
At church this morning I praised the Lord to see an in-person choir once again. It has been a long time since I have had that experience. And it was so fitting in my mind to see this on Resurrection Sunday. But, I will not at this time start a discussion about covid and when […]
Social Media Spirituality
Take a look at my post on the Devotional from Mark 9:38: https://www.lognewant.com/2016/01/mark-938.html?m=1 The disciples didn’t want to let just anyone speak for Christ. But it was wrong for them to stop this individual. However, Jesus did set a standard that we should be careful to observe. He said those who are not against Him […]
Commanded to Preach
The preaching of the gospel is a command. We don’t do it because it is effective, or because it is relevant, or because it is timely for our generation. All of these things are true. But, we do it for only one reason. Jesus told us to.
Growing Interest
This whole process is new to me. I’ve never had a ministry I had to promote quite the same way as this. But, I am committed to not marketing. Too often we fall into the marketing trap in ministry. Instead, I want to inform and promote interest by offering a benefit to those I am […]
