Do I Need Help?

1 comment

Something I’ve always been taught, and even seen in my own life, is that it’s so easy to see the mistakes, wrongs and shortcomings in others while missing those of our own. If we do notice an area of our own lives that needs attention, we tend to reason our way past it without making [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

No comments

Ah, the smell of turkey, dressing, pecan pie, sweet potatoes, gravy and all sorts of other side dishes filling the air… Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, football, time with family and friends, football, eating until we can’t possibly eat any more, football, black Friday shopping, football, leftovers for days, and more football. That must be what Thanksgiving [...]

Great And Marvelous

From Revelation chapter 15: 3: And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. 4: Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for [...]

No, no, not the kind you’re thinking. Not the kind where people say the Bible is just a bunch of stories that man came up with and put together to fool all of us ‘poor’ Christians into believing something that isn’t true. Most all of you that know me know where I stand on the [...]

Philippians 3:13-14: Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Ever since the attacks on our country [...]

Colossians 3:23 is pretty clear: And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; It tells us that whatsoever we do, we should do it as to the Lord. Whatsoever? Everything? Yes! So, Becky and I are going to pick up a few groceries today, along with a few [...]

It’s Christmas!

No comments

Everybody is waking up this morning excited about the gifts they’ll give, and the ones they’ll receive. I want to remind everyone once again to remember the ultimate gift in Jesus Christ! Without Him, nothing in this life would have any meaning. Eternal life would be only a myth. We would have nothing to live [...]

Last night Fellowship Baptist Church had its annual Christmas Program. We got a bit of a late start, but we had a great group of young people and adults as well who worked hard to make sure it was a success. The Lord’s working was evident throughout. There were times during practices it seemed like [...]

Remember Christmas

1 comment

It’s December, and everything Christmas is in full swing. Shopping, dinners, programs, decorations and so much more, it seems like we’ll never make it through the holiday. But wait. What IS Christmas? It has nothing to do with gifts, dinners, sales or any of that stuff. This world has so commercialized Christmas, and it’s hard [...]

It seems that most of my posts thus far on this blog have had something to do with church or Christianity in one way or another. I’m finding more and more that as I get older, that is my life. My job is a necessity to provide an income and thus take care of our [...]
