    Decision Time

    This message was preached for my present church’s 40th Anniversary and it calls us to ’cross the Jordan’ and move into the "Land of Promise."

    Decision-Time Deuteronomy 30:11-20 * My personal intent for today’s message was to entitle this “From the Wilderness to the Promised Land” and draw a parallel between the COI and HBC. However, God had other ideas, not about this message or the parallel, but about the title. * In context, 40 years ...read more

I’m not going to be doing any recapping today, simply to say that ...read more

    You know when you ask—nay, beg—God to do something or give something to you… Have you ever the request denied, and found out that what God refused, what you desired so badly, ultimately would have been harmful to you? Not everything we desire is wholly aligned with God’s ...read more

Unable to decide, Reagan didn't answer, so the cobbler gave him a few days. Several days later the cobbler saw Reagan on the ...read more
