A few weeks ago, we had a message on the Mediatorship of the Saviour. I took as a primary illustration the historically based movie, “Bridge of Spies.” Something I didn’t share with you that day was a line which came up three or four times during the story. Tom Hanks’...

I don’t know if it is bad or good, but most of us don’t think much about our posture – especially our posture as it relates to others or to God. When I was a kid, a part of our Episcopal worship was using the kneeling cushions when we went to prayer. But then and here...

In a book called “Mountains in the Mist,” Frank Boreham made some interesting comments on this Psalm. He reminded his readers that this is one of the so-called “Penitential Psalms” – songs written by sinners with broken hearts over their transgressions and the shame...

Do you have a standard salutation you share with people just before you depart to go your separate ways? What do you say before you click “End call” on your phone or when you’ve finished preparing your email? If you are like me, you may have a regular form of...

I have read, over and over again, the words of famous people extolling the Bible and its influence on our world. Those quotes have come from American presidents, scientists, scholars in literature, historians, anthropologists and many others. They say such things as,...

I’d like us to have some serious fun for a few minutes. A couple weeks ago I preached a message called “The Gospel According to Ephesians,” in which I went through Paul’s epistle, trying to outline the message of salvation. This morning, I’d like to point to some...

Mom has gone to the grocery store, and one of the things on her shopping list is cantaloup. When she comes to a bin with more than fifty cantaloups, how will she know which is the very best? Some shoppers make their decision based upon the color of the fruit, while...

This evening I’m going to add just a couple thoughts to our consideration of angels this morning. Earlier we noted the existence and importance of angels in the Bible. If there are no angels, then the Lord Jesus cannot be trusted, neither can Paul, Peter, the Old...

I am of the opinion that each of us are tri-part creatures. There are some theologians who insist that man is made up of two parts – physical and spiritual. But I take Paul seriously when he says prayed for his friends in Thessalonica: “And the very God of peace...

We will not always have a message about the Lord’s Supper before we observe the Lord’s Supper. Sometimes it will be a sermon about something entirely different. And then once in a while we may not have a message all – we’ll just say a few words and begin. But this...

Brother Fulton referred to this sort of thing this morning in his lesson. The woman whose son was killed in a car wreck caused by a drunk driver, may ask the question: “If there is a God in heaven, why didn’t He keep my son from that deadly accident? Where is the...

I have a yellowing copy of a 1979 newspaper with a picture of my father receiving a certificate of recognition. The article talks about the fact that Antony Oldfield had been donating whole blood for more than 40 years. During that time, he had given more than 20...

A couple weeks ago I brought a message entitled: “Ours is not a Reformed Baptist Church.” It generated quite a bit of interest beyond the walls of our own building. I don’t know how many have watched it on FaceBook, but nearly a hundred people have listened to it on...

It is said by some that you and I are living in a “post-modern,” “post-CHRISTIAN” society. Notice that I said “post-CHRISTIAN” society and not “post-CHRISTIAN” era – or period of time. These two phrases, especially the second one, are based on some presumptions. One...

A couple weeks ago, the church received the following poorly worded electronic correspondence: “Greetings, You are receiving this email because your email address is listed as a Church Email Address for a church listed on ReformedBaptistChurches.com and we are looking...
