When Tomorrow Begins Without Me
I attended a funeral for one of my first cousins on a cold afternoon a few years ago. The preacher who officiated the funeral also offered remarks at the graveside. As he began talking at the cemetery he said, “I wonder what the weather will be like on the day of my funeral. I have …
I Want to Start A Conversation That Will Bring People To Christ, Do You?
Let’s add another tool to your toolbox… Our words can enrage or encourage. Our words matter! God, in His wisdom, saw that words are the mode for which humanity would learn about the relationship He desires to have with us. Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of …
Is Life Fair?
This past Friday night, our high school football team’s season ended like it has ended over the last several years, with a defeat. When you lose a game during the playoffs, your season is finished. It has been the pattern over the years the opponent who hands us the loss during the playoffs are usually …

The Old Clothesline
My daddy was a man of many talents. He thawed frozen water pipes under the house during the winter, repaired bicycles, house fans, was a great cook and even overhauled a car engine in our driveway. When I was old enough, my job was to always hold the flashlight, carry the toolbox, or just talk …
A Challenge Is An Opportunity
All facets of life have been modified or adapted to meet safety guidelines and to be cautious in relation to the Coronavirus. We know these changes have brought challenges. However, we know each time a challenge is present, an opportunity is evident. Churches across the world and churches in our region have had to develop …
In God We Trust
Much has been made of legislation in Kentucky requiring public schools to post the phrase, “In God We Trust.” Some schools have totally embraced this law by very clearly and boldly making these words visible while other schools have done all they can to barely meet the requirement of displaying these four words. I am …
Why Should We Answer Questions About Our Faith?
Recently, I had two co-workers initiate several conversations about “religion” and Christians. These conversations seemed to happen frequently and were abrasive at first. I attempted to listen and absorb their comments as they would make comments about “church.” As the comments continued over the course of several days, I decided it would be best to …
Missing Our Loved Ones
Not an hour fades from the clock that does not find us thinking about, missing, or longing to be with our friends, neighbors, family members, or spouse that has already passed away. We know the void we have is a result of the deep love we shared. We are confident in the expectation of comfort …
