10 Jun: Random Thoughts on Political Correctness
Over the past few weeks as I have studied The Revelation of Jesus Christ and John’s First letter to the churches John’s boldness to proclaim the truth has leaped out at me. As I have pondered the boldness of John I have been saddened at how the world – and even some churches and [...]
15 Mar: Preparing for Marching Orders
Well, we finished our recent study on “Questions of a Young Pastor.” I was really excited about this study as it gave me an opportunity to seek out some things that I needed to wrestle with. Some of the questions I answered were: “What is the difference between a church God uses and one He [...]
22 Feb: Where Are We Going At FBC?
In the past four weeks the Lord has truly been working on my heart. A deeper conviction of sin, a more acute of awareness of His holiness, and the hatred He has for apathy are some of the things He is showing me. As I read my Bible I see a loving God who was [...]
08 Feb: Super “Temptation” Sunday
I enjoy football like the next guy. My team didn’t win yesterday but I really enjoyed relaxing and watching a good SuperBowl game and my hat goes off to the New Orleans Saints for playing wonderfully. Maybe next year Peyton!
I enjoyed the game but I can’t say the same for the many commercials that [...]
02-Feb: A New Command
While on earth He was the walking epitome of love. He modeled in person the love the Father has for each of us and how the Father expects us to love one another.

We also mentioned that with any citizenship comes both responsibility and expectation as we live out our commitment and loyalty to our allegiance, which in this case is to Jesus Christ. The challenge was to ask ourselves whether or not [...]

Christmas Eve 2000yrs Ago
I wonder what it must have been like 2000 years ago on the Eve of Jesus’ birth. I am fond of the movie The Nativity because it provides such a realistic account of what it must have been like. Unfortunately, not all the details are correct – i.e. the Wisemen coming the evening [...]
The Advent Conspiracy
Friends,
This Sunday (20th of December) we are going to conclude our series on “Temptations of Christmas’ Past” and talk about the greatest temptation every December – indulgence. Indulgence comes in many forms and fashions and is something that tempts many. Over eating, drinking, spending too much money, and relaxing moral constraints are but a [...]
Christmas Temptations
Christmas season is upon us. In many ways I am excited. I enjoy watching my children get excited over the presents, the tree and all the hoop-la surrounding the big day. However, in many ways I am “bah-humbug” because it seems there is so much pressure and temptation that removes Christ from the scene.
