If I were to get you a gift card to your favorite restaurant, where would that be? And what would you order? Mine would be Outback, and I would order that big, ol’ bone-in ribeye cooked medium, with steak fries, and a great big blooming onion. Oh, my goodness, that meal is so good it’ll…

I hope all you mommas had a wonderful Mother’s Day! Where would we be without our mommas? What did you do over the weekend to bless your momma? Proverbs 10:1 tells us a great way to bless both our mom and our dad, and here’s the best part: it doesn’t cost a thing. It says,…

One of the tougher passages of Scripture is found in 1 John 5:16–17, “If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say…

One year back about 15 years ago when I was pastor at a church in Tennessee, the Lord led me to organize our people to knock on the door of every house in our city. The city of Alexandria only has about 1,000 people in it. So, we just had a few hundred homes to…
