Words From Our Preacher

Marshall Keeble was preacher of the Gospel who, in his 90 years, baptized over 40,000 people.  A new audio recording of one of his sermons has been digitally enhanced and is available for listening. Brotherhood News has the link. Marriage, divorce and remarriage is one of the thorniest issues to arise in the local church. America has become a nation of serial “marryers.” Often church leaders are called upon to try and sort through the confused relationships and offer an opini

Good morning everyone and thanks for reading. Here is the Wednesday collection of article postings for your reading enjoyment. While I generally agree with the articles I post here I do not necessarily agree with everything on some sites. Use your knowledge, discretion and wisdom as always. Our first post is from Mike Ratliff at Possessing the Treasure. I am unsure of Mike’s religious affiliation although he strongly supports reformed theology which is a form of Calvinism. Ne

Hello again and welcome to our weekly roundup of interesting blog articles from across the ‘net. I hope you find these interesting and encouraging. Always remember that while I do recommend the individual articles I do not necessarily recommend the entire site. Most are fine but use good wisdom and spiritual discernment as always. Dale Sadler is a marriage counselor who has a timely article about so-called emotional affairs. These do not involve physical contact (at least not

Joe Palmer has a group of article on a terribly dangerous item among us. He writes on alcohol and offers some serious considerations for the Christian. Begin with “Why Not Drink” and move on to answer the question, “Does the Bible Forbid Drinking Alcohol.” I think you will appreciate these articles and a couple of other similar articles on the subject. Joe also has a take on insurance – stupid insurance. You will know what he’s talking about and can add a little something to

Yes, we have been slothful in posting our Wednesday blog updates. One of these days I am going to pop for a card for the laptop that will let me access from anywhere. But truthfully, much of my time lately has been spent in places where even a card to access  the internet via cell would not have been helpful! Nevertheless, here’s our catchup edition of the roundup. We have some links on doctrinal issues, encouragement and an important link about an international treaty with t

We missed the roundup last week but are back now with some great articles. First this week is a report from Christians in Honduras. As you know that country is on  the brink of war and internal chaos. Christians are being impacted by the events there. Brotherhood News reports on the Christians there and their situation. Please pray for their safety. Have you ever wondered if faith really makes a difference in daily life? Wayne Jackson at Christian Courier reports on recent re

Welcome to our weekly roundup of excellent posts from Christian bloggers across the internet. We hope you will enjoy our selection this week. Scott McCown at Morning Drive has two articles for your consideration. First, since Father’s Day was Sunday, he offers the Top Ten Verses About Fathers. His top verse is quite instructive for all of us. Second, Scott offers a question from his older brother, Doug and his reply concerning distractions in worship. Doug, by the way, is a f

Once again, something little different for you this week. I am offering a look a Bible study resources on the web. Some you may know, some maybe not. I hope this helps. If I miss something just add it in the comments. Bibles A good Bible search tool is important. When I began preaching we used a concordance; it was a 20 pound book that listed words and where they were found. A typical concordance was limited to a single Bible translation and only one word at a time. Phrases w

Many good posts this week for your consideration. We’ll start with Eddie Parrish‘ site The Fire Within. He’s doing a good job and already has a number of comments which is good for a new site. Be sure and visit him. Steve Higginbotham at PreachingHelp.org has really dressed up his site using a clean, attractive theme. Of course a clean theme without content is useless so Steve has provided us a nice reminder of what money really can and cannot accomplish. Scott McCown continu

Neil Richey writes on a subject that’s important to me. Compromising Soundness for Church Growth makes some excellent observations worth your time. Disturbing Trends is an article by Jeremiah Tatum at the Pulaski Street church. Parents ought pay special attention to this article because it is about your children. Venerable Wayne Jackson address an emerging issue that will sooner or later impact the body of Christ. Known as Open Theism this doctrine is a radical response, albe
