Christ followers, under the power of the Holy Spirit, will tell everyone about Him. (Acts 1:8)
Tears of sorrow turned to tears of joy earlier this month for one Bell County congregation. Mill Creek Baptist Church was destroyed by fire on a snowy February 16, 2015 morning but, thanks to the Mobile (AL) Baptist Builders, a new building is now under construction. On June 4 a team of 120+ volunteers, all... Continue Reading →
I was born into a Southern Baptist home. While I did not fully realize what that meant until much later in life, I am grateful for the legacy of being a Southern Baptist. Though not a perfect denomination in the past or even the present, I excited about the current and future state of our... Continue Reading →
Not long ago, I was invited to preach at a church in a metropolitan area. I arrived on a Sunday morning to a large church facility that was showing some signs of some needed maintenance and renovation. I estimated that the auditorium would seat 700-800 people.

I am a football fan who occasionally dabbles in watching basketball. However, I must admit that there is something exciting about March Madness! Maybe it’s the story of the Cinderella team that no one gives a shot to win, but somehow finds the right combination at the right time. Maybe it’s because of the frenzy... Continue Reading →
They often flee in the middle of the night, taking only what they can carry. They flee because their ethnicity, religion, or politics make it unsafe to remain in the place that has been home. They are refugees. People without a home, without a country. The decision to leave their homeland is not a easy... Continue Reading →
