This is the actual picture used in our hometown newspapers of Clovis, New Mexico and Trinidad, Colorado. This photo…
Visited by Evil
This morning at Eastside Baptist Church, Twin Falls, Idaho. A look at Malachi 2:17. You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, “How have we wearied Him?” In that you say, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and He delights in them,” or, “Where is the…
This Past Week
This past week at theBridge: Monday, December 10: Do You Love Me: I’ve been told in various settings that there are no dumb questions and no wrong answers. I’ve lived long enough to prove both of those statements wrong. I am still trying to master the art of asking good questions.Here are a few of the good questions… (continue…
And They Were In Terrible Distress – (updated)
And they were in terrible distress. Judges 2:15 (ESV) Early this morning, like many of you, I heard the reporting of a shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut. There is little to say about this and offer up much of a thought. I have been in prayer and of a deeply troubled spirit. I’m in…

The Gates of Hell Will Not Prevail
I’m not in the habit of reading any of Anton LaVey’s writings. Nor would I recommend them to anyone. In some research for sermon preparation I did read Wikipedia’s bio of LaVey in search of what I understood to be The Nine Satanic statements. They are everything opposed to righteousness or godliness. LaVey, claims that “Satan…
Do You Love Me?
I’ve been told in various settings that there are no dumb questions and no wrong answers. I’ve lived long enough to prove both of those statements wrong. I am still trying to master the art of asking good questions. Here are a few of the good questions… “If a man dies, will he live again?” (Job…
Significant Scripture
Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass. (1 Thess 5:24 NASB) This is one of many places in Scripture where we hear of God being faithful and completing His promises. His faithfulness binds Him to finish what he begins. That which God says is that which God does.…
