Cuba has long been a place plagued with political instability – due in part to its lack of a gospel ministry.  During the insurrection of 1868, when Cuba first sought independence from Spain, three ladies made their way from Cuba to Mississippi.  There they were met...

Pleadings – Philippians 4:2-3

Feb 12, 2026 | Wednesday

Let’s say that your left knee has started giving you some pain, but… you ignore it as best you can. Over time it becomes bad enough that you have to start taking take over-the-counter pain medicine. But it is not getting any better. Furthermore, the pain in your...

January 2026 Report

Feb 11, 2026 | Timothy Parrow

Dear Pastor and Brethren:  Mission Activity               This month our Sunday attendances were very low, mostly due to various health issues among the congregation. We did have a visitor, Mark Hastings, but he has not returned. Apparently he has a charismatic...

The Tender Exhortation – Philippians 4:1

Feb 8, 2026 | Sunday Evening

Paul loved the church in Philippi. He seemed to be closer to this group of people than to most of the other congregations of Christians. We can see his affection beginning in the first chapter and extending throughout. “I thank by God upon every remembrance of you.”...

The Bivocational Christian – Philippians 3:20-21

Feb 5, 2026 | Wednesday

There has been a term flying around Evangelical Christianity for many years, which many of you have heard. From the very beginning, there have been pastors and evangelists who have been “bivocational.” It is not a Biblical WORD, and in some ways it is not a Biblical...

Enemies of the Cross – Philippians 3:16-19

The Civil War was one of the most horrendous periods in American history, but God can, and does, bring good things out of bad.  While many thousands of lives were lost, there were also thousands of soldiers on both sides of the conflict who threw themselves on the...

God Shall Reveal – Philippians 3:12-15

Jan 29, 2026 | Wednesday

As I said in a previous message, Paul’s words in this scripture sound somewhat contradictory. But of course they aren’t. The Holy Spirit, in inspiring the Word of God, cannot give His prophets mutually opposing facts. But that doesn’t mean that we, the readers of...
