Influence, Testimony and Power – Job 38:25-32

Oct 10, 2024 | Wednesday

Job had been struck down with disaster after disaster. He lost his wealth and his health; his children were killed and his wife, in her pain, had turned against him. He has been used by psychologists to illustrate the various stages of grief. At first he was...

Is Anything too Hard for the Lord? – I Samuel 2:1-10

Oct 6, 2024 | Sunday Morning

Like you, I have seen images and heard about what Hurricane Helene has done up and down the East Coast.  But I admit that my heart is still filled with the images and experiences I had in Canada two weeks ago.  Not only have we heard about destruction and devastation,...

Oct 4, 2024 | This Sunday in Baptist History

This is a somewhat backhanded piece of Baptist history, as you will see. Eugenio Kincaid was born into a Presbyterian home in Wetherfield, Connecticut, but in his youth the family moved to Pennsylvania. There, under the preaching of a Baptist evangelist, the young man...

Know Me: I am God – Psalm 46:10

Oct 3, 2024 | Wednesday

Perhaps II John 4 and III John 4 don’t apply to me as directly as they did the Apostle John, but I’ll still use them. The Apostle wrote two separate letters in which he said in one: “I have NO GREATER JOY than to hear that MY children walk in truth.” And earlier he...

Dear Pastor and Brethren We are having a drought here in Oklahoma with temperatures often in the hundreds. Please pray with us for rain as well as for spiritual blessings. Only the Lord can provide these needs for us. On the 4th of the month we had two of Bro. Jose...

When Christ Disregarded His Own Advice – Proverbs 6:1-5

Sep 19, 2024 | This Sunday in Baptist History

Fredrick Rymker was born in Stige, Denmark, on this day in 1819.  He learned the trade of shoemaking, but at the age of twenty he went to sea.  When an accident struck him down, he was fitted with a wooden leg, and from then on looked like the proverbial peg-leg...

Prodigious Providence – Romans 8:28

Sep 19, 2024 | Wednesday

I wonder if the Lord will ever let me know how many times during my life I have quoted this verse of scripture. Has it been a thousand times? Ten thousand times? I know that I have preached from the context of Romans 8:28 several times. And what a wonderful context it...

Walking to Victory – Acts 9:25-31

Sep 15, 2024 | Sunday Evening

Acts 9 is the chapter which describes the salvation of Saul of Tarsus, before he became the Apostle Paul.  As a former champion of the Jews and a leader in the persecution of God’s saints, his conversion to Christ radically changed the religious landscape in Israel. ...

Unbelievable Belief – Galatians 2:20

Sep 15, 2024 | Sunday Morning

I would like to begin with a quote from the well-known preacher, A.W. Tozer. Tozer was a Christian Missionary Alliance pastor. This comment was made most likely about 75 years ago. He wrote – “Something has happened to the doctrine of justification by faith…...
