Three things, I can remember three things. When Amy asks me to run to the store to pick up a few items, I can usually remember three things. Once she adds the fourth item . . . I have to make a list. Most of the time, I can remember three things. Three things. As I … Continue reading Three (3) Things

How Good are You?
I keep seeing quizzes on Social Media that get you to answer a few questions and based on your answers will tell you things like: What 1980 power ballad was written for you? Which movie star is your doppelganger? When will (How will you) you die? Which cartoon character are you most like? Are you … Continue reading How Good are You?
#bealight
For the last half of 2014 the overriding them at Central Church of Christ was #contagiouschurch. The idea is that we are to be contagious in our attitude. Contagious in our praise. That we are to be contagious to the world, infecting the world around us with Christ and Christianity. This year we are refocusing … Continue reading #bealight

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water." Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."

Adam and Eve provide an example of what I see. Cain follows the example of his parents. We read in Genesis … Continue reading Oh Man!

Paradise. What a word. Maybe when you hear the word paradise you think of a show on Masterpiece Theater about a shop in London. Maybe, as a teen of the 1980's you think of an album by Styx. Maybe you think of the garden of Eden or of Jesus on the cross as He says … Continue reading Paradise Lost
In the Beginning . . . God
"In the beginning, God . . ." And so the Bible begins. I suppose there are a number of ways such a collection of books could begin. Since God's Word contains "all things that pertain to life and godliness" (2Pe 1:3) the Bible could begin, "These are the blessing and curses attached to your obedience … Continue reading In the Beginning . . .

About Preachers and Preaching
As I was thinking about the lessons this Sunday, I remembered a humorous list of poor sermon introductions. I looked through some old files and found a tattered copy. The title in the bulletin clipping is "You Know You're in Trouble When the Preacher Begins With . . . Unaccustomed as I am to public … Continue reading About Preachers and Preaching
