I was in Eighth Grade a co-captain of the Middle School Basketball team at Escambia Christian School. Not to brag, but I was not a bad player.

What I Believe about the Church
What I Believe about the Church We are added to the church when we obey the gospel – Act 2:47. We obey the gospel when we by faith put on Christ – Gal 3:26-27. All that put on Christ are Christians and a part of Christ’s Church – Mat 16:18. The Church is not an … Continue reading What I Believe about the Church
Every Where You Go
Yesterday on the way home from a funeral of a wonderful Christian mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, servant, and friend, I passed by a marquee sign near a church of some variety.

Part of the nation of Judah's problem was that they refused to repent, "Run to and fro through the streets … Continue reading The Christian’s Greatest … Part II

I would travel with my youth group to youth days and youth rallies at churches in South Alabama and Northwest Florida. One sermon title I remember was, "The Dirty Little 'D' Word" -- the word - … Continue reading Our Duty to Each Other

For the last quarter of a century my occupation and vocation are the same. I am a minister, a preacher, a Christian who shares what he learns from his study with an audience of people - what we typically call the church. I try to regularly preach through the Bible - both Old and New … Continue reading Who is Jesus? Really?!?
