    Preached in a church of another denomination for Christian Unity Sunday and Martin Luther King Sunday: we tend to hide our own history and to conceal our witness. But God calls us into a wider ministry.

    I’m not sure how it is among Methodists, but we Baptist folks have a strange custom of hiding when we come to church. We hide. We try to get in and get out without being noticed. I don’t know whether Methodists are infected with this disease, but with Baptists it is an epidemic. We hide. ...read more

There’s this inner-feeling that a preacher gets when he knows that he’s DONE all that he can for a ...read more

We gather to worship to hear God’s Word, give to God’s work, and fellowship with other worshippers - but gathering without songs of praise as part of our worship - how wrong would that be? Church without the singing of praise ...read more

    Based on the Psalm and powerfully illustrated by the clip it teaches how we Christians must "sing our song" (give our testimony)

    The Testimony of the Redeemed Psalm 40:1-3a I have watched that 2 minutes of film about 20 times this week. It makes the hair on my neck stand up. It was not meant to be a Christian film or have a Christian message but I tell you that is as powerful, as convicting, as biblical and as relevant as ...read more

    We get bogged down by responsbilities. The way out is first to act responsibly, second to tell others what God is doing in you, and ultimately to yield to our Savior.

    One afternoon I came by the church to pick up a few things. I parked around the back, and there discovered two of our members, plus our sexton, in major trouble. These men had purchased a heavy-duty safe for the church office, and were intent on moving it inside. The safe had been hauled here on a ...read more
