Last year I wrote a couple of posts about the Christian Baptist Association (What is Christian Baptist? here & here). This is the association of churches that I have my ordination through and pastor. There was a time when I was a member of another group of Churches in the local area, but, the Lord ledContinue reading “Why Christian Baptist? Four Reasons.”

What is Christian Baptist?
I have lost count of how many times someone has asked me to repeat myself when we are telling them the name of the denomination I am ordained through and pastor. It is, The Ohio Valley Association of Christian Baptist Churches of God. That is a mouth full. You can find the website byContinue reading “What is Christian Baptist?”
Why do we lack discernment?
When Jesus was asked to speak about the end times, one of the signs He gave was the deception of God’s people (Mt. 24:24). Other passages warn us of false prophets (2 Thess. 2:3; 2 Tim. 4:1, 3-42 Pet. 2:2, 12-13), Satan (2 Thess. 2:9-12), and personal deception (1 Cor. 6:9-10; Gal. 6:6-8). How doesContinue reading “Why do we lack discernment?”

If one thing is clear from the pastoral epistles (I, II Timothy and Titus), the burden to be learners. Perhaps the most straightforward command is found in II Timothy 2:15-16, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, but shun profane andContinue reading “The need for learning pastors.”

Understanding directions is not a difficult task but having a personal guide in the car sure makes things a lot easier and helps to take the stress out of travel. The same is said for our spiritual life. We know that we are not a tourist lookingContinue reading “Our Faithful Guide”
Going to Church: Why do we gather?
In a recent presentation by Barna Research and Pepperdine University, it was shared that Church attendance is a decreasing expectation (watch here; find it at the 48:30 mark). Changes in family dynamics, more distractions, and a lack of commitment to a local congregation have all contributed to this new reality. As Church leaders, this isContinue reading “Going to Church: Why do we gather?”
Half of My Life: Seven Insights
I accepted the call to the ministry when I was 16 years old. At 15, I entered started home school and was amazed by the Bible teaching that I received. An impression was made on my life.
