This past week was the annual National Day of Prayer. The first Thursday of the month of May is as much a holiday as Thanksgiving. The only difference is that no school was shut down, no bank was closed and the commercial world has not found a way to capitalize on the day. Which really…

Join me on Sunday, April 18, 2021, as I begin preaching through the letter from the apostle Paul to the faithful believers in Colossae.
Sin is Always Sin
I’ve been away for a few weeks and wanted to post a short expression of sorrow for the loss of life in Atlanta that happened late last week. We were preparing to travel home from time with family when the news began to break of the eight women who had been shot and killed at…
