$$$ Caleb’s New Car – Not!

Caleb turned sixteen last month and got his driver’s license a couple of weeks later. He is now wanting to drive by himself all of the time. He is even willing to take his sisters to run errands. When we were in Hershey, PA, a couple of weeks ago we came across a 2009 Corvette [...]

How Good Are You at Getting Small

I enjoy listening to sermons through my Ipod while driving around town or early in the morning or late at night. Yesterday I listened to a message that I heard preached a few years ago in Myrtle Beach at the American Association of Christian Schools conference by Attorney David Gibbs. He is the founder and [...]

Great Background Music

Some people may not have noticed the link to online Christian radio on our church website. The link is over on the left near the bottom. This station is streaming music from Ron Hamilton, Sacred Music Services, the Wilds, Mac and Beth Lynch, the Herbster Trio, West Coast Baptist College, Majesty Music and others. Click [...]

Lessons on the Kingdom

This morning we returned to our sermon series on the Gospel of Mark. Mark’s gospel is an action gospel. It contains stories of Jesus moving quickly from one place to the other. The narrative is fast paced. Mark tells us that Jesus taught, but very rarely does he tell us what Jesus taught. In chapter [...]

Abby’s Eleventh Birthday

Abigail turned eleven yesterday (7/17). She wanted to go to the Olive Garden in Raligh for lunch. She and I went by the radio station earlier in the morning and then visited in the hospital before returning home to pick up the rest of the family. We let Caleb drive to Raleigh for us. We [...]

“A Bad Night to Be an Atheist”

I wonder if anyone else was watching the hitting clinic that Josh Hamilton put on at last night’s MLB Homerun Derby. He hit a record twenty-eight homeruns in the first round. The excitement at Yankee Stadium was electric and you could almost feel it through the television set. To make the story even more interesting, [...]

Do You Have Your Ears On – Part 2

We concluded our message this morning on Mark 4:1-20. Last week we saw 1) The Sower’s Responsibility and 2) The Seed’s Reliability. This week we looked at the third point 3) The Soil’s Receptivity. We examined the four types of soil that Jesus described. We learned that the majority of the seed did not bring [...]

Quick Trip to PA – God’s Timing is Incredible

My family joined the Greg Whitley family for a couple of days in Pennsylvania. We drove up on Wednesday afternoon and arrived at the Shady Maple Smorgasbord a little after 5:00 p.m. for their prime rib night. We enjoyed the meal and then shopping in the gift shop and at their grocery store. We then [...]

Email from Missionary Sid Messer

I received the following email from Sid Messer today. We have been praying for his father-in-law for several years now.
It’s been approximately a month now since Mr. Beachell left the hospital to stay with one of his daughters in Greenville, SC where he has been under hospice care. About a week ago he declined dramatically [...]
