St. Patrick's Day is not just a holiday about Irish stuff. It isn't just a day for remembering we have that green suit jacket in the closet, or having an excuse for pinching our party-pooping friends. (You know who you are!) It's a day for remembering the "missionary mindset" that...

It has come to my attention that some of the Christian leaders that I admire have a certain belief that is unbiblical. Not that I'm surprised by that. Certainly I don't expect to agree with anyone all the time. But this particular position is so completely unsupported by Scripture,...

This is remarkable. Not only is the Congress finally getting busy on something important (not that I expect much from them you understand), someone up there actually thought to call it “The Shield Act”. 🙂 “SHIELD”, as in, the top secret government program of “Avengers” fame. Now our government...

“Man’s primary purpose is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.” – Westminster Shorter Catechism We read this tonight during family worship, and while I do not agree with everything in the Westminster Catechism, this first statement is certainly solidly biblical and has been a great help to...

No, I’m not referring to the magazine “TIME”. I have not noticed very much that is “precious” coming from that lot. I am thinking of that flighty little commodity that we all have, but it never seems to be enough. We all have the same amount, but some of...

Here is a link to another post about “Adrianisms.” Encouraging thoughts to me on a day-to-day basis.  Little things like this can keep us going can’t they?...

I got a book last Christmas called “Adrianisms: the Wit and Wisdom of Adrian Rogers.” It has had so many wonderful sayings, most of them original to the late Rev. Rogers. I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. I think I could write a blog on almost every one....

“To boldly go where no man has gone before!” These lines from the original Star Trek television series speak of exploration and adventure. But “boldly going into dangerous places” was a thought that occurred to me during our service on Sunday. In Hebrews 10:16-22 the writer speaks of the...

At the suggestion of a beautiful woman (which don't always pan out, but this was an exceptionally beautiful woman, so it's fine) I have decided to start a new series called "Thoughts from Sunday....on Monday." In this series I will give brief thoughts from my experiences on the previous...

What a thought! A pre-incarnate Jesus Christ, with his Father, looking down from heaven upon the whole span of time. Observing this wretched earth, full of sin and in desperate need of salvation, he seeks a person to "intercede" on behalf of the humans he loves so dearly. Finding...

This ain’t easy! Not just writing blog posts, and hopefully maintaining and increasing readership through outstanding (yeah right) content. In attempting to write a book it requires a great deal of personal discipline and creativity. This takes time and effort. Time is a precious commodity around our house. Using...

For those of you that follow this blog but not my other one, A Preacher’s Ponderings, here is a link so you can help me with the book I want to write. Thanks! The Writing Bug...

Friends, if we want our Father in heaven to heal our land, repentance comes first. "If my people...will humble themselves...and turn from their wicked ways...then I will hear from heaven and heal their land." (2 Chr. 7:14) This is not earning grace or favor from God, or even earning...

So tonight, in an incident with my 4 year old son, I had a snapshot of my life with the Lord over the last three years or so. We had some ice cream to give the children as dessert, but we require them to clean their plates before dessert is served....
