Help Needed
This was just submitted to to the Twin Falls Times-News for the Faith Corner column I write for on a regular basis. Look for it on Saturday in the Times-News. Help Neededby Paul Thompson Like most everywhere across the Magic Valley, there are “Help Needed” signs. They are in windows and on sidewalks. Some of…
Support for Utah/Idaho Southern Baptist Resolution on Abolishing Abortion
The following is a “mostly ready for print” resolution I intend to submit for consideration of the messengers of the Utah/Idaho Southern Baptist Convention on the subject of abolishing abortion. I’m looking for co-signers. If you are, or know someone who is, a pastor or member of a Southern Baptist Church in the Utah/Idaho Southern…
The Other Side of the Window
In a rare moment, I brought my guitar into the public gathering last night (9/12/2021). The evening gathering was focused on some reflection from that providential September day in 2001 when the nation was asking questions and looking to God for an answer, at least for a few days. I was a much younger pastor…
Faith Corner Column
It has been communicated to me with a strong warning that any of my columns that are not favorable to LGBTQ+ issues will no longer be published in the Twin Falls Times-News. Fair enough.

Defend This…
Tell me again why you don’t think this current generation is under attack to normalize sexual perversions. Today, I picked Renee up to go eat pizza for lunch. I know, I’m a romantic and take my wife to fancy places for fancy food. Pizza, by itself, is not a moral or ethical matter for me.…
Unprotected Babies
Scheduled to be published in the Twin Falls Times-News Faith Corner soon. ———————————————– What if an enemy of the city of Twin Falls wanted to fly their flag at City Hall? This past week in the city of Twin Falls, Idaho five babies were stopped from having a live birth. While that happened, hardly anyone…
Understanding the Nature of Misinterpretation
Guest post from Mark King After reading the newspaper article by the local Methodist pastor, I wanted to write a rebuttal that could be added into the editorial section. It was to be an effort to counter the blatant misinterpretation of God’s Word. Thankfully, I remembered that for those outside the grace of God, His…
