February 4, 2018 The world is a mess. Our country is a mess. I would be hard-pressed to name a time of more political animosity and unrest in our nation’s history. Starting at the top – the President gave his State of the Union address on Tuesday. As is normal, one side of the […]
HEBREWS 2:1-4
January 28, 2018 When I was in high school, a few years ago – yes, we had high school and it wasn’t a one-room school house – like everyone else, I bought a senior ring. As I recall, it was about a hundred bucks. Not that much today, I suppose, but then as a […]
HEBREWS 1:5-14
January 21, 2018 When you think of angels, what comes to mind? Maybe it’s your little grandchild, who at times can be a cute, fat little cherub, and other times you think, wasn’t Satan a fallen angel? That’s a special little sin nature in that one. What comes to mind when you think of […]
HEBREWS 1:1-4
January 14, 2018 2017 is in the history books. For some of you, it was a good year – a memorable year. Perhaps you became a Christian. Someone else for whom you had prayed a long time came to faith in Christ – and for that person, it was nothing less than miraculous. You […]
HEBREWS Intro
January 7, 2018 The parable of the blind men and the elephant can be traced back 2500 years. The story suggests six blind men came upon an elephant – an animal they had never encountered before. They tried to determine what it was by touching it. But, each man only touched part of the […]
MARK 16:9-20
December 17, 2017 There are some churches of Appalachia, mostly north of us in Kentucky and West Virginia, that are called snake-handling churches. Primarily of the Pentecostal persuasion, the pastor and others handle venomous snakes – typically rattlesnakes – as a form of worship and faith during their services. Here’s a couple pictures – […]
MARK 16:1-8
December 10, 2017 Critics of Christianity would have you believe it was all a hoax. Conspiracy theories have abounded for 2000 years as to what really happened on that first Easter Sunday. In fact, the first spin on the story began that very day – we call it the “stolen body theory.” Only Matthew […]
MARK 15:40-47
December 3, 2017 I’ve shared before that the summer before Bible college, I worked at a cemetery – Greenville Memorial Gardens in Greenville, SC. My job was primarily grounds maintenance; mow the grass, trim the bushes, weed eat grave markers; but I also prepared for burials. My first week, we had an interment at […]
MARK 15:33-39
November 26, 2017 Most of us can remember from our high school speech class or debate club selecting an issue and then being assigned to argue the for or against position. Perennial favorites, even since I was in school a very long time ago included, and still include, abortion, gun control, legalized marijuana and […]
MARK 15:16-41
November 19, 2017 We face many challenges dealing with the cross. The first is familiarity, which can breed contempt or even boredom. We read the book, saw the movie, bought the tee shirt. We hear the story many times a year – usually during communion, and at least once a year at Easter. And […]
