The Lack of Grieving
Over the past several weeks, there has been much in the news that reveals the depravity of the human condition apart from Christ. As I write this note, several videos have been released regarding the horrors of what Planned Parenthood (an oxymoron of the first order) has been doing in regards to its death industry. We have seen people, on camera, discuss how they…
Uncovered Sin
VBS
It’s finally that time of year again: VBS! Each summer our church has the great opportunity to share the Gospel with kids of all ages. Many of us have very good memories of VBS from our childhood years. I was blessed to have Miss Debbie as the VBS director at the church I grew up in. Miss Debbie had a heart for children and loved seeing them grow in their knowledge…
The Heavens Declare
I have had a fascination with space for as long as I can remember. Any chance to see a National Geographic article on some new astronomical discovery was a treat. The possibility that in my lifetime ordinary people will have the chance to fly into space makes me a little giddy. As I consider the grandeur and expanse of the universe, I am kept in awe of the God who not…
The Travesty of Planned Parenthood
In recent days, a series of undercover videos have been released which appear to show that Planned Parenthood has been in the business of harvesting the remains of aborted babies for parts to sell to biomedical research companies, in violation of federal and state laws. The most recent video, the fourth, was perhaps the most horrific one yet, with the VP of Planned…
God’s Beautiful Creation
Forgiveness
In the aftermath of the fatal shooting at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC, the families and friends of the victims faced many emotions: grief, anger, disbelief, and horror, among many others. People around the nation and the world shared in those emotions, as well. Once the perpetrator of these horrendous acts was apprehended, we saw a person whose personality and…
Wow!
Wow! I’m not sure that I can adequately express the gratitude and honor I feel in response to Faith Baptist Church’s call issued on Sunday, June 28 to me as the Senior Pastor. I wanted to take this opportunity to say, “Thank you,” to each and every one of you for the confidence you have in me to lead you and this church in the days ahead. It goes without saying that we…
The Pain of Charleston
This past week, all of our hearts were saddened when we heard about the shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME) in Charleston, South Carolina. This historically black church has a rich, and tragic, history going back to the early 1800s. One of its early pastors planned a slave revolt, which was discovered by authorities and resulted in this pastor’s…
Greetings from Salt Lake City!
Greetings from Salt Lake City! One of the things that always strikes me about this city is how wonderful it looks. The streets are so clean, the people are generally so pleasant, and yet, there is a spiritual darkness that lays over this city that is almost palpable. It reminds me of how Jesus described the Pharisees: whitewashed tombs. They look nice on the outside,…
