The Death of the Good Samaritan January 15th, 2010

In a country that continues to lose its moral bearings, is it any wonder that it is increasingly more difficult to distinguish between those who really need help and those who do not? In the years I lived and worked in Chattanooga, I cannot begin to recount all of the times that I was …

God Helps the Bad Guys? January 7th, 2010

To fully grasp the comments below you should probably read 2 Kings 3. However, if you choose not to, here is a brief synopsis. In 2 Kings 3, the “good guys” (Jehoram, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, and the king of Edom) are about to totally wipe out the “bad guys …

Which Worship Model? January 7th, 2010

Remembering a Great Man January 7th, 2010

Horace Doss was buried today in an Alabama countryside. He was a beloved husband, father, granddaddy, and great-granddaddy. Cancer overtook him suddenly, and he died on August 25, 2009 at 1:30 PM. Surrounded by his children and their spouses, he opened his eyes wide, looked around the room one …

Drop the Stones? January 7th, 2010

I have to confess that I’ve found the media coverage of the deaths of Michael Jackson and Steve McNair a bit difficult to swallow at times. Basically I’m being told to overlook any of the glaring flaws either of them had, and simply focus on their contributions to society. Implicit in this …

Capturing the Carol January 7th, 2010

For a recent book study at St. Mark, we read and discussed Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol. With Advent just a couple of weeks away, I wondered how reading this tale might influence our thinking, and impact our Christmas celebrations. Time will tell, I suppose, but it …

Eucharist & Evangelism January 7th, 2010

This is an insightful and challenging quote taken from Laurence Hull Stookey’s Eucharist: Christ’s Feast With the Church.It is tragically ironic that for many earnest contemporary Christians, heaven is dismissed as something that distracts us from reshaping life …

Perspective January 7th, 2010

This quote is taken from a sermon Charles Spurgeon preached on Psalm 90:17: Establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. Do not have any fear of failure, beloved; if you really worked for God, you have worked for a cause …

God Opposes the Righteous? January 7th, 2010

In his commentary on 1&2 Kings, Peter Leithart makes the following observation in relation to 2 Kings 14, and the conflict between Amaziah, king of Judah …

Story Time January 7th, 2010

From time to time I hope to share some of the stories we’ve been reading to our boys. Deborah and I are always on the lookout for more good books to read to them (and enjoy ourselves). I hope you’ll share some of your favorites too. Here are a few that have stood out of late.
