The bad news is that there is no good man, only bad men. The good news is that there is a Good God. That Good God left heaven to enter the world as a Good Man and live among bad men so that He, the Good Man, could die for the sins of all the bad men according to the Good God’s good plan. Now, through faith in the Good Man, bad men can become good men just like the Good Man. Therefore, the

So, does Jesus love you? If He can love me, He can love you. God so loved the WORLD. That's you, too. If He can love Judas, the one who betrayed Him, He can love you. If He can love Paul the Apostle, the who persecuted the Lord's church and had one of His followers killed (Stephen), then He can love you. If He can love Jacob (liar), Moses (murderer), David (adulterer and murderer), and

It has been a couple of months since my last post. My apologies. I will post more frequently. I enjoy this and it is good therapy. Today, I would just like to focus on a truth that is very simple, yet very profound. It is something kids learn early and adults learn often. Jesus loves me. As the old song says, Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so. Amen.JESUS love me!The

As we celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ this year, I would like to remind everyone, in a lighthearted way, that Jesus is the reason for the season. Many times we lose site of that fact with all of the attention to CHRISTmas shopping, CHRISTmas parties, family CHRISTmas, and the fact that we allow Santa Claus to rob Jesus of the glory Jesus is due. Please remember CHRISTmas is all

The question of the day is what does the Bible say about homosexuality. Or, more specifically, does God condemn homosexuality? Read the following verses and answer the question for yourself.In Genesis 19:1-13 God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for their wickedness, including the sin of homosexuality as we will see later.Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is

Let's get right to the point. Global Warming is the biggest lie since scientists claimed the theory of evolution was real science. It's right up there with "ye shall not surely die", "I'm from the IRS and I am here to help", and "I created the internet."GLOBAL WARMING AND ITS EFFECTSGlobal Warming, according to the EPA website, is "a term used to describe a gradual increase in the earth’s

I have started a series of lessons on Wednesdays entitled Today's Topics. The idea being that we as believers ought to know what the Bible says about issues like tattoos, alcohol, global warming, abortion, racism, homosexuality and gay marriage, and aliens and UFO's. Many people will try to tell you that the Bible is not relevant and does not address these issues. However, God's Word endures

"There's no place like home. There's no place like home." Truer words were never spoken. It is great to be back home. It is great to be able to sleep in my bed on my pillows, eat my food in my kitchen, and prop my feet up on my couch to watch my TV in my living room. It is great to get my clothes out of my closet or my dresser instead of a suitcase. Don't get me wrong, the traveling was fun

I've been to Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri.  If you say that real fast and put some music to it you can make a lot of money (or so I've heard).I am currently (11:50 a.m. 8/2/08) sitting in a hotel in St. Charles, MO (suburb of St. Louis).  We are packing (again) and headed to the Branson area to stay for a couple of weeks.  We are having

Today's entry may upset the apple cart, but that is not my intention.  My intention is simply to cause us to stop and think about something that is alarming in modern day Christianity.  I have noticed an exponential increase in different kinds of ministries "for Christ".  For example, I recently read of Bikers for Christ, Horsemen for Christ, Cowboy Churches, Racers for Christ, etc.It seems to me

The answer to that question is yes, no, and maybe. Please let me explain.If that question is being asked by someone looking for answers to life's problems, the answer is a resounding YES! God is out there. But the one true God, the God of the Bible, is much closer than "out there." God came near in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ. God left "out there" to come down here to identify with

There is a bumper sticker that reads, "to err is human, to forgive is out of the question." Unfortunately, that is how most people view forgiveness. As a result of people failing to forgive, parent-child relationships are broken, marriages fall apart, and churches struggle with unity. Realizing that we are all sinners and imperfect, we can understand that forgiveness is essential in any

Psalm 56:9 “When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.”God is for me. Let this great truth sink in. Meditate deeply on this thought. Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent God is for you – He is on your side. Beloved, let this thought rule over you today – if you stand with God, God stands with you.The God who is higher than the highest mountain -

On Wednesday evenings at Texas Avenue Baptist Church I try to answer questions from the members. These questions are given to me in advance. I will use this blog to post the questions and answers on a regular basis. If you have questions about the Bible, spiritual issues, or your walk with God, please feel free to send me your question and I will attempt to answer your question from the Bible.Q.
