Lessons from Twenty-Five Years of Preaching God’s Word
At just 14 years old, I stood before Hardin Baptist Church in my hometown in Kentucky on a Sunday night and preached my first sermon. This year marks twenty-five years since that event—twenty-five years of a life of preaching. To say the least, I hope I’m a better preacher today than I was twenty-five years […]
Prayer Sparks
Every once in a while you stumble across something that is simultaneously simple and extremely impactful; something that alters the way you do things beyond what you would ever expect. Several years ago I had just such an occurrence. I had recently started a new Bible reading plan which had me reading through each book […]
Three Fatal Flaws in the “Gender as Social Construct” Position
Typical Southern Baptists are barraged with the message that gender is a social construct, which means that gender is something subjective and not the result of nature, purpose, or design. They hear this message on television, in movies, in popular songs, in schools, and even in corporate training material. Southern Baptist churches need to educate […]

Sadly, we often make it harder than it needs to be. Far worse, however, is when we adopt a frame of mind that damages our evangelistic attempts. In our current […]
Understanding a Mother’s Heart
25 And the king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other.” 26 Then the woman whose son was alive said to the king, because her great compassion yearned for her son, “Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and surely do not put […]
The Trinity in Scripture
Is the doctrine of the Trinity found in the Scriptures? The answer to this question is vital. If the Trinity is as important as Christians say it is, then it must be scriptural. In a previous article, I noted that the Trinity arises from the very text of Scripture, that it is unique to the […]
Reading the Book of Revelation – An Excerpt
I was deeply influenced many years ago through a conversation I had with a pastor. I was eagerly learning all I could about Revelation and trying to unravel its most complicated visions. I asked this pastor about the vision of a thousand years in chapter 20. Did he hold a premillennial, postmillennial, or amillennial position? […]
