Built for us in God’s own heart,She would love us from the start;Watching o’er us like none other,We would cherish our dear mother. In her arms she drew us near,There would chase away each fear.Through her loving, soothing voice,We knew we were hers by choice. From her eyes there shone rare grace,Love was written onContinue reading “Mother, Mother, Mother Dear!”

Nelle Reeves Shuler*
One of the great pleasures of pastoring for 50 years was the joy of entertaining evangelists in our church and home as they held meetings with us, or when they were crisscrossing the U.S. from one meeting to another and needed a place to stay for a night or two. I could mention many—such asContinue reading “Nelle Reeves Shuler*”
Be of Good Cheer!
Solomon said that “A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance,” and “he that hath a merry heart hath a continual feast,” and “A merry heart doeth good like medicine.” (Provs. 15:13,15 and 17:22) In this world of ever-present conflict, confusion, war, sickness, natural disasters, and political bombshells almost daily, a person with a merry heartContinue reading “Be of Good Cheer!”
Christ’s Great Commission
Bill Rice, who founded the Bill Rice Ranch ministry in the early 1950s, related a story of a girl going to China as a missionary. Once, when she was on deputation in a church, someone remarked to her, “You sure must love the Chinese people. The very fact that you would leave your homeland, yourContinue reading “Christ’s Great Commission”
Fundamentalism Today, Part 3: Corporate Worship
Again, “looking out my kitchen window,” here are a few more informal observations of my world, which (as I have noted in my previous “Fundamentalism Today” blogs) is the theology and practice of historic, Biblical fundamentalism. There have been some shifts that are undeniable. To pinpoint some of the obvious ones—with neither advocacy for norContinue reading “Fundamentalism Today, Part 3: Corporate Worship”
The Blight of You Know What
What this post will speak to has no doubt claimed more lives than alcohol, tobacco, cancer, heart disease, war and automobile accidents—all put together. It is more dangerous than a raging river that is out of its banks, or a lightning bolt that is not grounded, or a hungry lion out of its cage. ItContinue reading “The Blight of You Know What”
“Time Out”
Today marks the fourth year since I began posting this blog series, “You and God.” This is post #416. I have covered a wide range of topics bearing upon Christian living and am gratified that a few hundred readers follow these posts and read them regularly. It was a little over two years ago thatContinue reading ““Time Out””
“Father of Mercies, God of all Comfort”
It was a typically cold winter morning, that first week of February, 1981. The children were all settled into their classrooms, and moms and dads were at their workplaces. That’s about where the word typical will have to cease in describing that fatal February morning. At my desk in the office at Thompson Road BaptistContinue reading ““Father of Mercies, God of all Comfort””
Fundamentalism Today (Part 2)
Continuing my “table talk” discussion of the landscape of fundamentalism today, as seen through the eyes of this aged pastor who has been privileged to serve churches in the latter part of the 20th century and the first couple of decades of the 21st century, I want to speak to a few other subjects thatContinue reading “Fundamentalism Today (Part 2)”
Fundamentalism Today
I write this post and the next in a bit of a different mode; consider it “table talk” over a cup of coffee as an old preacher, not far from glory’s shore, shares some candid thoughts. I’ve given considerable thought of late to “fundamentalism.” It is, after all, a movement with which I have identifiedContinue reading “Fundamentalism Today”
