April 10, 2016 As I’m sure you know, the Christian faith is under attack. I’m not just talking about ISIS and radical Islam, I’m talking about within our own country. While founded on Christian principles, our country is becoming increasingly ungodly and immoral and therefore hostile to the faith – to our beliefs, to […]
MARK 4:21-34
April 3, 2016 Last week, I shared with you a little about my summer between colleges working at a cemetery. But, I left out part of the story. When I first came home to Greenville from a military school in Colorado, I needed to get a summer job since the government was no longer […]
MATTHEW 27:55-66 – The Burial of Christ
March 27, 2016 Many years ago, I was on my way to Bible college to prepare for ministry. During the summer, I worked at Greenville Memorial Gardens, a cemetery on the south side of the city, to make some money for college. The owner wanted me to be a salesman – he thought talking […]
Mark 4 1-9, 13-20 – The Parable of the Sower
March 13, 2016 Tana and I have been married for almost 36 years. During that time, we’ve learned a thing or two about each other. For example, when she has an issue with me, we have to discuss it, well, let’s just say, more than once. Now, from my perspective, I say she […]
MARK 4: 1-2, 10-12
March 13, 2016 I have great news for you this morning, people of Alliance. To you, it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God. You see, not everyone understands those mysteries. There are insiders, and outsiders. Insiders who believe, and therefore understand. Outsiders, who oppose, who refuse to believe, […]
MARK 3:20-21, 31-35
March 6, 2016 If only I could have seen Jesus walking on the earth – been with Him – then I think I would have believed. If only I could have heard His teaching with my own ears, seen His miracles with my own eyes – I think I would have believed – or, […]
MARK 3:20-30
February 28, 2016 It was a Saturday morning when I received the call. I knew it would come, eventually. I had prepared for it the best I could. I had been through school; taken all the pastoral theology, counseling, practicum classes that were supposed to prepare you. But when the call came, I […]
MARK 3:13-19
February 21, 2016 In his book Quiet Talks, S. D. Gordon gives an imaginary account of Jesus’ return to heaven after His ascension. As the angel Gabriel greeted Jesus, he asked, “Master, You died for the world, did you not?” To which Jesus replied, “Yes.” “You must have suffered much,” Gabriel said, and again, […]
WHY DO THE NATIONS RAGE? PSALM 2
February 14, 2016 Acts chapter 4 records the first prayer meeting in the church’s history. We know that the church gathered to pray every day, but in chapter 4, we finally get a glimpse into one of these incredible meetings. Let me set the stage. Peter and John had just been released from […]
MARK 3:7-12
February 7, 2016 You’d have to be asleep to miss that we have entered a particularly raucous political season, eventually leading to the election of the next President of the United States this November. As you likely know, the leading candidates for each party seem to be, for the Democrats, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, […]
