Ever notice how bad news travels fast while good news barely makes the rounds? Case in point: when George H.W. Bush was president, he once collapsed at a state dinner in Japan.

The Doctrine of Doubtful Things
Here is a very partial list of things that have caused—at some time or another, in one place or another—division or offence between brothers in Christ. Some may be areas wherein you have definite convictions; others may not: Most of the above will seem archaic to today’s readers. The list could be updated to 2026,Continue reading “The Doctrine of Doubtful Things”
Indifference—then and now
Led of the Holy Spirt of God, four Gospel writers give us the soul-shaking account of history’s darkest deed—the murder of the Holy Son of God—in fewer total words than you might find in the preface of the average book published today.

Last Testimony
Over the course of a half-century of pastoring, I have had the privilege of officiating several hundred memorial services.

Many of us are taking medicine for what ails us, but how about ingesting something into your spirit occasionally that does “good like a medicine?” That is, something that makes your heart merry? Well, I offer such today. You may have seen these “bulletin bloopers” before, but they are funny no matter how many timesContinue reading “Some Good Medicine”
Resources for Preaching
Recently I read an article by the late Dr. Robert Delnay that first appeared in Faith Baptist Theological Seminary’s July/August 1999 issue. Dr DeInay became the founding dean of Faith Baptist Seminary, in Iowa, in 1986, and he was an eminent professor of history and homiletics at Faith and other institutions for decades. I wasContinue reading “Resources for Preaching”

Beware the Scorner
There is a person that the wise king Solomon said a great deal about in warning his son to watch out for and beware of. That person is mentioned in the first verse of David’s Psalms: “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly…nor sitteth in the seat of theContinue reading “Beware the Scorner”
