Hello to you on this Wednesday! It’s been a while since I’ve put out a Wednesday Is for Worship, but I’m excited about getting back into the groove. I’m always blessed by the songs featured here, and I pray that you are too. Today I want to share with you a song that is so encouraging. We undoubtedly live in times…
CONNECT people to Christ and POUR into their lives His teaching so they'll OVERFLOW for the glory of God

Helen Keller once said, “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched—they must be felt with the heart.” We certainly live in a culture and day where the heart has been elevated to preeminence. How many times have we heard someone give the advice, “Just follow your heart!”? That’s the wisdom of the age, but…
Over the summer, I want to draw attention to some of my preaching heroes. Not only do I commend them to you, but I also want to give you an example of their pulpit ministry. ___________________ George Whitefield, who lived December 27, 1714 – September 30, 1770, is one of the greatest preachers in Christian history. Although he was an English Anglican preacher, he…
This Wednesday I’m in the middle of Vacation Bible School week, and we’re thoroughly enjoying Group’s Kingdom Rock. One of the reasons that we always do Group’s VBS material is their great music, which is geared more toward actual worship than other VBS music seems to be. They do a great job of introducing our kids to contemporary and historic hymns of…

On this Wednesday, what are you in need of? The list very well may be long, but at the top must be the Lord. He is what you need more than anything else. He created you, He’s sustaining you, and He’s made a way for you to be saved. Even those who right now either reject that they have a need of…
Did anybody ever sign your yearbook with, “Don’t ever change!”? That was pretty common in my neck of the woods, but what terrible advice! I once heard a man say that the only folks that don’t like to be changed are babies. Change can certainly be a bad thing, but when we change as God would have us to change, in fact,…
Most folks outside of Westside Baptist Church in Daytona Beach, FL, where Bob Hadley pastors, probably don’t know who Bob Hadley is. That’s not a put down because most folks outside of West Main Baptist Church in Alexandria, TN, where I pastor, don’t know who Ben Simpson is. Bob Hadley and I are like the great majority of pastors in the world:…
Good Wednesday to you! I pray that the coming of summer just around the corner has you amazed by the common grace of God. I know it has done so for me! Today I want to share one of the tenderest songs sung from the heart of a worshiper to Jesus. It’s an old one, but my goodness, it captures the heart…
Although we just closed up the season of Eastertide with last Sunday being Pentecost Sunday, I want to do one more resurrection song. Of course, since every Sunday is a reminder of Jesus’ resurrection, these songs never go out of “season”! Today’s worship song is a dandy! The arrangement, the accompaniment, the words themselves, and the content of the lyrics are joy-filled…
