I try to post a blog four days a week. Some days, like today, I have so much running through my mind - or very little for that matter - that I am not focused on a single thought or lesson. Today, I am thinking about the wonderful devotional thought the freshman (Jackson B) from Tide4Christ … Continue reading I Don’t Know What to Say

Why Baptism Isn’t Something You Do
In Acts 2:37 the people interrupt the preacher (Peter) and ask a simple question. Simple yet profound, "Brothers, what shall we do?" Those gathered on that day, after hearing the Apostles speaking in each audience member's own languages (BTW there were more dialects and languages than there were apostles), and after being reminded of their … Continue reading Why Baptism Isn’t Something You Do
When God Brings You Yo It
I what sound like good phrases every day. A few of them follow: If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. Everything happens for a reason. God had to break me so I could learn to rely on Him. As meaningful as these phrases sound they are NOT biblical. In fact, … Continue reading When God Brings You Yo It
The Victory of Faith pt 3
Today we conclude our look at victorious faith. If you missed the first two posts here are Part One and Part Two. 1Pe 3:12 God hears us when we pray. When we come in need – He hears. As we seek to do His will – He provides. In the times when our hearts are broken – … Continue reading The Victory of Faith pt 3
The Victory of Faith pt 2
Yesterday we began a look at victorious faith. You can see that post HERE. We continue our thoughts this morning as we turn to the Old Testament Nehemiah and company returned from Babylon to rebuild Jerusalem’s wall and found themselves surrounded by an enemy bent on keeping them from completing their task. Without the wall they were … Continue reading The Victory of Faith pt 2
The Victory of Faith
Faith is the Victory, the old standard hymn repeats that phrase. In all honesty, I like that song and have for as long as I can remember. Maybe because you cannot sing a song of victory and stay sad. Afterall, there is no such thing as a sore-winner (A poor-sport, yes, but I have never heard anyone … Continue reading The Victory of Faith

Yesterday afternoon I began mentoring one of the young participants who is building a PowerPoint / Keynote / Prezi style presentation. She is planning to build a presentation … Continue reading Our Refuge
Teaching the Next Generaton
Saturday, thanks to a friend, I had two tickets to the Home Opener at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Andrew was in town for the weekend do we had a father and son day as we watched Alabama take on Middle Tennessee. We were not the only father-son duo there. Sitting a row behind us was a dad … Continue reading Teaching the Next Generaton
Summertime
The school year is almost over. I can hear the students and teachers sigh relief and I think I heard some shouts of joyful celebration. As you look for things to do this summer, as you take vacations, don't forget about God. As a child of God remember that Christ is your life (Colossians 3:1-4) … Continue reading Summertime
Prayer, Power, and God
In last week's post on prayer I quoted this statement, "I do not believe in the poser of prayer, I believe in the power of God who answers prayer." People of faith pray. They pray because they love and trust God. A person of prayer prays as if everything depends upon God and works for … Continue reading Prayer, Power, and God
