Why are we surprised?
I often wonder why we are surprised when the world acts worldly. The scripture clearly tells us that the world will in fact act worldly, yet we seem utterly shocked by the worldliness of the world. Yes, I am in fact playing on words here. The world is going to do what the world does….

Sermon Handout 2-5-2023
Grace leads to Gratitude
Psalm 107:8-9 “Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.” NKJV When my children were growing up they participated in a co-op class on etiquette. That class…
Musings from the deer stand
It seems like we went from one season to another overnight. Seasons. Dictionary definition: Each of the four divisions of the year (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) marked by particular weather patterns and daylight hours, resulting from the earth’s changing position with regard to the sun. a fixed time in the year when a particular…
You were made for more!
Has anyone ever wondered why when a person comes to faith in Christ, believing unto salvation that they just don’t get zapped up into heaven? I often think of the TV show Star Trek and the famous phrase spoken by James T. Kirk: “beam me, Scotty”. Imagine if it were this way. It would make…
Living out a culture of Prayer
Prayer. As Christians, we all say we pray. But I imagine if we were truly honest with ourselves, we probably don’t pray near enough as we ought. We don’t pray near what scripture exhorts us to pray. Our flesh doesn’t want to pray, the enemy of our very souls does not want us to pray….
Have we moved into the Hostile age of Christianity in America?
In this last weekend’s message, I shared some information found in a recent article posted in the MBC Pathways magazine titled “Are Southern Baptists Ready for a World That Despises Christians?” That article can be found here. In my message, I discussed that while the author of the article addressed three different contexts of Christianity…
Revival and the recent Roe v Wade SCOTUS Decision
Christians all across America celebrate today as the Supreme Court of the United States, by a 6 to 3 decision has rescinded the 1973 Roe v Wade court ruling. This victory has been years in the making, years of activism, and years of fervent intercession. Since 1973 there have been over 60 million babies aborted…
The Fathers Yearning
I will admit, I have struggled with being the father of adult children. Fathers Day has taken on new emotions and struggles for a Dad of grown children who has younger children at home. I suspect that in time, as fewer of my children are at home these emotions will grow even stronger. I miss…
Misplaced Hope and Expectancy
This last Sunday I had the privilege of preaching for a church up in northeastern Missouri. I brought a message on Misplaced hope and expectation that I thought many out there might be experiencing today. Right now in America, we are experiencing some uneasy times of product shortages, food scarcity, and exorbitant fuel prices, at…

Modesty – Cancel Culture Takes Another Victim – Matthew West
WARNING: This article may cause you to think. It may cause you to be offended. Disclaimer: I am a Conservative Evangelical. I do not believe the purity culture is inherently toxic. I believe it fell victim to cancel culture in its early form. Yes I recognize that some extreme portions of the purity culture became…
