None of us is so smart or seasoned that we do not need to heed wise Biblical counsel: “Every purpose shall be established by counsel; and with good advice make war.” (Provs. 20:18) On a humorous note, I once read “Reason #4 Why Guys Do Not Write Advice Columns: ‘Dear Abe, the other day IContinue reading “The Well Advised“

The Power of the Gospel
Lew Wallace, a Union general in the Civil War, happened to be seated near Col. Robert Ingersoll while on a train. In the course of their trip, the conversation turned to the subject of Christ’s divinity. Ingersoll was an infidel, but Wallace had an open mind regarding the person and divinity of Christ. After theContinue reading “The Power of the Gospel”
Sunday, the Lord’s Day
That’s how most Christians identify the first day of the week. Early churches, which we read of in the book of Acts, met on that day to worship the Lord together. Paul wrote to first-century churches that when they met on the first day of the week, they should set aside an offering. (I Cor.Continue reading “Sunday, the Lord’s Day“
A Testimony to God’s Grace and Power
(When I was senior pastor of Thompson Road Baptist Church, we published a monthly “TRBC Times” newsletter. This is a reprint of an article I wrote for it in July 2004.) For several hours the Friday before Father’s Day, I sat transfixed before the television watching the funeral service for the 40th President of theContinue reading “A Testimony to God’s Grace and Power“
Remembering Kelvin
On February 2, 2021, a dear friend and faithful servant of God was ushered to his home in heaven, having served faithfully His Lord and Savior both at home and abroad. Kelvin was born one month before our nation’s 200th birthday, June 4, 1976. Before he was five years old, Kelvin was diagnosed with aContinue reading “Remembering Kelvin”
A Churchy World or a Worldly Church?
The English pastor and theologian Griffith Thomas was once asked if he thought the world was becoming a little churchy, to which he replied, “It’s true that the world is becoming a little churchy; but the church is becoming immensely worldly.” D. L. Moody, the 19th-century American evangelist, was quoted as saying, “The churches areContinue reading “A Churchy World or a Worldly Church?”
America’s 246th Birthday—Special You and God Edition
This weekend we celebrate America’s 246th birthday! We sing “God Bless America,” and we must say that God has blessed America. With all the monumental problems facing this great land of liberty, the USA is still at the top of the mountain of nations, with no country even running a close second. That is notContinue reading “America’s 246th Birthday—Special You and God Edition“
Building A Christian Home, Part 3
Holding to Solomon’s timeless truth that “through wisdom is an house builded….” (Provs. 24:3) I have set forth in parts 1 and 2 of this study that in the building of a Christian home, one will need wisdom in establishing a right resolve in private and public worship, in family, and in personal disciplines ofContinue reading “Building A Christian Home, Part 3”
Building A Christian Home, Part 2
Living happily ever after is becoming rarer in our riddled world. The ideal marriage too often morphs into an “ordeal,” and couples are too prone to throw in the towel, often neglecting good counsel from family, friends and faith leaders. Tim LaHaye cited a poll years ago that asked 3,009 wives if they would marryContinue reading “Building A Christian Home, Part 2”
Building A Christian Home, Part 1
One of my sons-in-law has done something I have never attempted to do: He has built a house from the foundation up. In fact, he has built many houses, and his workmanship is recognized as superior. I can’t imagine doing that, as I do not have the skills, though I do appreciate the fine workContinue reading “Building A Christian Home, Part 1”
