Behold…
“Behold” is not one of those words we use everyday. The only person who might use that word regularly would be someone like a magician dramatically declaring, “Behold!” after some card trick. We do find “behold” on the pages of our Bibles, depending upon translations, of course. One of the first to come to mind Continue reading

$3 Worth of God…
A number of years ago, I stumbled upon a poem. Whether this the original version or not, I’m not sure, but it’s close. It is found in a book by Wilbur Rees entitled “Three Dollars Worth of God.” I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please.Not enough to explode my soul or disturb Continue reading

Hard-Headed & Hard-Hearted…
This morning in my devotional reading in Ezekiel, I came across God’s declaration about people of Israel. In Ezekiel 3:7, God says of them that they have “a hard forehead and a stubborn heart.” In short, they were hard-headed and hard-hearted. When Ezekiel went to them with God’s Word, he should be surprised if they Continue reading

A Disciple Named Ananias…
This past Sunday, we continued our journey through the book of Acts. Our focus was on Acts 9:10-19, where a man named Ananias received a vision from God to go to a man named Saul, lay hands on him, pray for him, and be God’s agent through with this Saul would be made able to Continue reading

… because it was bitter
As we read through God’s Word, we sometimes come to stories that seem a bit odd, and here is one of them from Exodus 15 – 22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. 23 When they came to Marah, Continue reading

As we take the first steps moving out of our homes and back into some kind of normalcy, we need wisdom, courage, and humility.

The Power of WITH…
I don’t typically geek out over prepositions. Prepositions are a part of speech we use every day. Of…In…Over…Through…After… the list goes on and on. But after a conversation I had yesterday, it struck me just how powerful the preposition “with” can be. “With” carries with it connotations of togetherness. “I am not completing this task Continue reading

Living in Obscurity…
I’ve pastored four churches in my life. None of them have been megachurches. None of them have had a regular attendance of more than 250 in worship each week. I’ve mostly pastored in small towns. The exception to that was a church outside of Savannah, but it was in a smaller community. In other words, Continue reading

Don’t Do Satan’s Work for Him…
I have been tempted so often to completely do away with Facebook. The good of Facebook is that it allows me to keep up with people I might otherwise lose track of. It allows me to reacquaint myself with friends all the way back from high school. It reminds me of birthdays and anniversaries and Continue reading
