Today, a landmark case before the U.S. Supreme Court may be a revealing day at the lowest level of interest even though it is in the highest court in our land. Yet, I will find my hope here today: “God takes His stand in His own congregation; He judges in the midst of the rulers .…
Divorce and Remarriage
Yesterday at Eastside Baptist Church, Twin Falls, Idaho. 1 Corinthians 7:10-24 We know that the bible has instruction about divorce, but does the bible have anything to say about remarriage? It does and it is not a very comfortable answer. The matter of a widow or widower is a bit more simple and understandable, but…

Even if the Path is Hard
Jesus said in Matthew 16:24 “Those who would come after Me must deny themselves and follow Me.” B.B. McKinney pinned these words in 1937. “It may be thro’ the shadows dim, or o’er the stormy sea, I take the cross and follow him wherever he leadeth me.” I am still striving, even today, to know what…
the Foolishness of Preaching
Living in a day such as ours, preaching seems like such a silly thing to do when there are far more winsome ways (in our eyes) to win souls. Will the word of God be changed for us? May it not be so. “Dear brethren, if we are going to win souls, we must go…
