A message Worth Repeating
Someone once told me, “If a sermon is good enough to be preached once, it’s good enough to be preached twice!” I have found this to be true when it comes to bulletin articles or social media posts as well. Our friend and brother Steve Higginbotham, posted something worthwhile a few years ago regarding …
Another Tool for 2022!
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 God.” As Christians, we know our order is …
Bulletin Article Topics
Do you like “Bulletin Articles?” Well, I do. I always have. Scripturally supported and Bible based articles have always been and continue to be a very effective teaching tool and uplifting. I am appreciative of the opportunity to write weekly articles for our bulletin. Why? Because I hope in some small way, I am …
A New Year: Time To Take Inventory
As we begin a new year, may we “take inventory” of our spiritual lives. Most businesses or organizations (the ones that are successful) will ask three questions in terms of their direction: “Where have we been? Where are we?

You Are Not Alone!
In light of the recent damage and loss caused by tornadoes, I, like you, have watched the news coverage. I heard one elected official say, in an effort to reassure those impacted by the challenges that lay ahead, “You are not alone!” I found comfort and appreciation in this gentlemen’s sentiment. But, let us …
Lest We Drift Away
Man made religions grow due to entertainment worship & an acceptance of feel good philosophy. Once faithful Christians have exchanged truth for fiction. The Hebrew writer says Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away (2:1). Ignoring God’s commands will cause the once faithful to …
“Where Corn Don’t Grow”
A few years ago, a country song entitled, “Where Corn Don’t Grow” was somewhat popular for a little while. The theme of the song is a seventeen year old feels he must chase his dreams away from the family & farm that raised him. He can only be successful in a bigger place, a large …
What does the church have to offer me?
The church continues to offer all of the same benefits it has always offered. We sometimes chase after what the world offers. We invest hours upon hours to ensure we will secure “status” or significance in society. We prepare ourselves and our children for opportunities that will put us in a position to secure a …
