This week we begin the season of Advent by focusing on the thought of hope. Our 2009 Advent theme is “The Songs of Christmas,” and each week we’ll be looking at a song from the gospel of Luke surrounding the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Well, we’re just a few short days from the annual day where we gather together for the purpose of giving thanks. We’ll remember our American traditions, see family and friends we’ve not seen in a while, eat way too much food, and hopefully catch a nap somewhere along the way. Truly Thanksgiving is a glorious day! But more than just being a…
Don’t your children just amaze you sometimes?! Not too long ago, I was having a discussion with my older son Zachariah. He just turned 4-years-old in October. I was up against a deadline and had to get some work done immediately, but he really wanted me to play. I don’t know if any of your children are or were like Zach, but…

At this meeting, SBC president and FBC Woodstock pastor Johnny Hunt and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary president Danny Akin spearheaded a movement they are calling the “Great Commission Resurgence.” The movement is summed up…

I had read the book a few years ago when I was taking Old Testament survey, but it was different then. Then I was reading the book just for familiarity. …
I’m not sure how many of you are familiar the evangelism ministry called Way of the Master led by Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort, but I am learning so much and being challenged in great ways toward better gospel ministry. There’s a good chance that this ministry is broadcast into your living room every week, and you’re not even aware of it.…
Recently I’ve been challenged to think about whether or not Jesus is the only way to salvation. Are there many saviors, or is Jesus the only Savior? Theologically, this question touches the doctrine of the exclusivity of Jesus Christ. Man can certainly come up with his own opinion, but the authority over all truth is the Scripture. Therefore, our beliefs must be…
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been challenged to think about whether or not people are good. Theologically, the question would be best stated this way: what is the moral nature of mankind? Man can certainly come up with his own opinion, but the authority over all truth is the Scripture. Therefore, our beliefs must be formed and based upon the…
