Why Do We Pray?
Much has happened over the last couple weeks that is worth comment, but I will contain my comments to one particular event which happened the last Sunday before Christmas (12/18/11). I had been leading the youth in preparation of a Christmas play/cantata that we were to perform that Sunday. We were about 10 minutes into

Sin is serious
Today as I was reading in the Psalms, something I read brought Isaiah 53 to mind, so I flipped to the passage and continued my reading there. Isaiah 52:13-54:3 is probably my favorite of the many Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament which speaks of how Christ’s atonement brought gentiles

AlbertMohler.com – Must We Believe in the Virgin Birth?
Great article by Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (where I am currently a student). I am reminded of I Corinthians 1:18-28: “For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God…but God has chosen the foolish things of

“They hated me first…”
The title of a USA Today article caught my attention today: “Gays, lesbians call for Salvation Army boycott.” I hope that reading that title shocks you as much as it did me. Who could possibly justify boycotting the Salvation Army?!?! That’s worse that slamming the door on a girl scout! So what’s all the fuss

God is my refuge
Today as I was reading Psalm 59, an obvious truth struck me that I have overlooked so many times in my reading of the Psalms. Oftentimes when I have read psalms of David I have noted in passing that some of his psalms are from times of extreme difficulty, especially

Welcome!
Welcome to my new blog! I hope that you will find this blog helpful. I created it for several reasons, which can be readily deduced from the menu options above. First, as an easy way to keep family back in Arkansas updated on what is going on in our lives. Secondly, I hope that anyone
