The other night at worship, my son, John Austin, asked Sheryl, "Mom, why does everybody call daddy, Brother Mitchell?" As Sheryl did her best to explain to him how we are all brothers and sisters in Christ and that we are all God’s children, John Austin’s brain was working. When she was through

Who am I no one. Take me out of the role of pastor and I am just another guy. I am 54 balding and gaining weight which describes a lot of men in this world. On my own I am a no buddy. But with Christ I am a pastor of a church. I have a voice to be invited to TV shows and I have your respect

A sinner needs a Saviour—not a teacher or encourager, or perfect Guide to teach to do better next time.
Once after a missionary trip, we decided to swim on a

There is the old saying “When in Rome.” The idea of course is that if you are a particular area or with a group of people you act like they do. If you are with a sophisticated people you act sophisticated. If you are Red Necks you act like a Red Neck. If you are among Pagans then act like one.

Let's say you where caught speeding down this highway in front of the church. You were doing 100 mph, obviously slightly out of the acceptable speeding window. You go to court and just as the judge is about to throw the book at you, someone steps forward and says, "I will pay
