"I hate myself and want to die"

Whoa, not me. Not literally anyway. It’s the title of a song written and released by the 90’s rock band Nirvana. Their lead singer reportedly would answer “How are you doing” questions with this line. Kurt Cobain went on to commit suicide in 1994 by shooting himself in the head with [...]

To KJV or not to KJV

There is a quarrel that looks more like a battlefield among some Christians and even entire regions of Christians against others over what particular translation of the Bible is the correct one. Which one is the inspired one? Which one is most accurate, or according to some completely word for word accurate? [...]

They Said It (update)

Check the links under “They Said it (Things from people much smarter than me). One link is from my former pastor during Seminary. He’s only about 34 but he’s a brilliant communicator. The other is by one of my favorite Southern Baptist Convention employees, Ed Stetzer. Both offer links to [...]

Ends and Beginnings

I haven’t posted in about a 5 or 6 days now and the reason is that much has happened in between then and now. Our church has lost 2 faithful and priceless men in exactly a weeks time. Both left the tent of their earthly bodies and went to be with Christ. [...]

Marriage. Have I Not Paid Attention?

30 Year Olds in College Clothes

The last post was sort of metaphorical, scriptural, type musings based on God’s word. This one is sort of more personal, embarrassing, and close to home. I’m now officially 30 years old. Yes, November 17th makes me a man no longer in his 20’s. It’s also official that I am now [...]

Wolves Wearing Sheep Clothes

Every church has them. They always have from the very beginning. They come in unnoticed at first. Possibly b/c we’re not watching out for them. Possibly b/c we’re not aware they’re out there wanting to come in. If we’d just pay a little attention we’d notice they smell different, they [...]
