More people attend church on Easter Sunday than any other day. The only exception is Mother’s Day. Every year when spring arrives many churches present special Easter programs highlighting the death and resurrection of Jesus. It’s also a family tradition for many to color Easter eggs, hide them on the lawn, and have their children […]
As you go through life and come in contact with many people, eventually you will be faced with the compassionate idea of trying to get someone to do something you feel is best for them. The Bible says in Hebrews 13:16, “Don’t forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices […]
One of my congregants called me one day and said, “Pastor, I need to talk to you. I’m in trouble.” It sounded serious so I asked them, “What’s the trouble?” “I think if I died today I might not make it to Heaven. How can I know I’m forgiven and God will not hold what […]

It was 1992 and the speaker was Dr. Morris Chapman, former Executive Director of the Southern Baptist Convention. As he was finishing the sermon he closed his Bible and said, “Folks, let me be very clear. The […]
If you’ve sensed unrest in your spirit about how you’re spending your time, perhaps you’re living subject to the prince of this world (the devil). Maybe you don’t intend on it, but it’s happening any way. Life lived casually for yourself will often lead to missteps. You’ll have particular troubles and you’ll wonder why. Troubles […]
Appreciating nature and working with it has always appealed to me. My Mom and both Grandmothers liked to work in their yards and flower beds too. All three of them knew how to cultivate the soil and give the plants what they needed. Not only in the spring time, but even in the winter, there […]
