God’s Protection
(A few weeks ago, I mentioned in the post “59 and Counting” that my sister was involved in a terrible automobile crash on her way to our wedding in 1965. I was surprised to learn that my “children,” now in their 50’s, had never heard of that incident. So I am going to let myContinue reading “God’s Protection”

One Single Life—Invested
A week ago, in God’s providences, our church, with some friends and family members, gathered to mark and memorialize the life of Vicki Murray, a lifelong member of Thompson Road Baptist Church in Indianapolis. Many who read this will not have known Vicki, but I think those of you who take the time to readContinue reading “One Single Life—Invested”
King Solomon—An Enigma (4th in a series of Kings and Priests)
The Irish writer George Bernard Shaw skeptically wrote, “Kings are not born, they are made by universal hallucination.” That may be true of some of the kings known to mankind throughout the history of nations. Many have ruled despotically, and their kingdoms were corrupt.

Russia, Cuba, China
For almost 250 years, Americans have enjoyed freedom: freedom of speech, worship, work, and the pursuit of happiness. These freedoms are guaranteed to America’s citizens in the US Constitution; and the three branches of government—executive, legislative and judicial—work together to certify that daily life in America can be pursued by its citizens without fear ofContinue reading “Russia, Cuba, China”
The Power of Your Witness
Just before Jesus ascended back into the heavens, forty days after His resurrection from the tomb, He instructed a handful of His disciples: “Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you, and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and untoContinue reading “The Power of Your Witness”
Only A Sinner, Saved by Grace!
(The following is a testimony of God’s saving grace shared by our nephew, Aaron Bridges, who now pastors in Western North Carolina. Aaron is the son of Ellen’s sister, June, and June’s husband, Ed): “I am so thankful that God called me to preach the Word and allows me to serve in any capacity inContinue reading “Only A Sinner, Saved by Grace!”
59 and Counting
Since yesterday marked the 59th anniversary of our wedding date, I would like to reflect a bit on the past six decades of our journey as husband and wife, and as a “team” in ministry. I hope you will indulge me the few minutes it will take you to read the following. Ellen and IContinue reading “59 and Counting”
A Man After God’s Own Heart (“Kings and Priests—Then and Now” Series)
What would you think if I introduced you to a man of whom I said the following: “He has been married to at least eight women. He has several children, including one who is a murderer, one a rapist, one a seditionist, and one a womanizer. He has a history filled with tragedy. On oneContinue reading “A Man After God’s Own Heart (“Kings and Priests—Then and Now” Series)”
