Yes, Jesus Died For That Person

By on Friday, January 21st, 2011 | 1 Comment

I was in line, ready to order a sandwich from one of my favorite eating establishments. There were several people in line in front of me. The line was slow moving because of a fellow who kept dominating the place by complaining about his meal. His fries were cold (though they’d been taken right out of […]

As You Wish

By on Wednesday, January 5th, 2011 | 2 Comments

Read Matthew 3:13-17 One of my favorite novels is called The Princess Bride.  About twenty years ago, while I was a student in seminary, the book became the basis of a movie by the same title, directed by Rob Reiner.  It has been my favorite movie since it was released.  My family and I have […]

Is Grace Enough

By on Tuesday, January 4th, 2011 | 1 Comment

Read: Luke 17:5-6 It was a long time ago (a very long time ago, in fact).  Still the words have stayed with me for more than a quarter-century! I was eating dinner with Dr. Don Musser, my favorite professor in college.  Later than evening Dr. Musser would be preaching my ordination sermon at the First Baptist Church of […]

Have A Grace-Filled New Year

By on Saturday, January 1st, 2011 | No Comments

As I write these thoughts, it’s “New Year’s Eve!”  In just a few hours (5 ½ hours as I begin writing these thoughts) 2010 will be history and 2011 will begin. So, have you made any “New Year’s Resolutions?”  I have. This year I plan to stop wasting so much time exercising. Instead, I plan […]

Why Did Jesus Come?

By on Monday, December 27th, 2010 | No Comments

From my friend Steve McVey: Jesus didn’t come into the world so that the Father would change His mind about us. Your Father has never been angry with man and Jesus came to show us that. He came to change our minds about the Father. He told story after story to show us the great […]

The Ugly Side Of Christmas

By on Sunday, December 26th, 2010 | No Comments

Read Matthew 2:16-18 – On this Sunday after Christmas – on what is one of the traditionally low attendance Sunday’s of the year, I have decided to do something that (for obvious reasons) I never do.  I am going to sing a solo.  In fact, I am going to sing one of my favorite holiday […]

This post is from a new friend, Jonathan Stepp, found on his wonderful blog, http://www.theadoptedlife.org Adoption is a powerful idea. It is the idea that someone would receive into his life another person who has no natural claim of blood or kinship. It is the idea that this reception would take place in such a […]

Jesus Does Not Want To Enter Your Life

By on Wednesday, December 8th, 2010 | No Comments

Steve McVey (http://gracewalk.org) posted a blog several months back that I copied and saved.  What Steve had to write is essential to having a clear understanding of the truly revolutionary power of the Gospel. We have the idea that the Gospel is that Jesus enters our lives, saving us.  In reality, the bulk of New Testament teaching paints a […]
