The one who truly fights the good fight, who truly finishes the course, who truly keeps the faith is the one who simply loves and longs for the glorious sight of seeing Jesus face-to-face.
Some Thoughts on Legacy
My Grandmother and Generational Mercy
“Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.” Proverbs 31:28 Nancy White entered into the joy of her Savior’s rest on the evening of July 31st, 2023. Her death was relatively sudden and unexpected. Her 96 descendants grieve our loss and will come together in a couple of... Continue Reading →
Faith like a Child
“But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.” (Luke 18:16-17, KJV) Introduction What... Continue Reading →
Strangers and Pilgrims
A fundamental question that every person on this earth is seeking an answer to this: Where do I belong? Where is my home? Where do I fit in? This is one reason why the LGBT movement gained so much popularity in such a short amount of time; it provided a “home” to multitudes of young... Continue Reading →

A Doctrine of Tribulation
For your consideration. As most of you know, I am an enthusiastic reader of history and have been since I learned to read at the ripe old age of five years old. As a pastor, this enthusiasm for history has been directed at church history. Of course, any study of church history must begin with... Continue Reading →
Imprecatory Prayer?
Recently I had a phone conversation with a friend concerning a statement made on social media. As usual the religious overtures of a theological post made more than a few eyebrows rise and caused some hostile responses to be made towards the one sharing it. This in-turn led to my friend posting a very similar... Continue Reading →
Thankful for All Things
“In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1Th 5:18)." Giving thanks in all things is something that is tremendously difficult for people to do. I, myself, have to be reminded of the fact that the posture of the follower of Christ Jesus is to be one... Continue Reading →
