“All this has come upon us; but we have not forgotten You, nor have we dealt falsely with Your covenant. Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from Your way” (Psalm 44:17-18). HOLDING TRUE TO OUR COMMITMENT TO GOD IS EASIER AT SOME TIMES THAN AT OTHERS. On some days, the [...]
“Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart” (Luke 18:1). SOMETIMES WHEN GOD APPEARS UNWILLING TO GRANT OUR REQUESTS, THE RESULT IS THAT WE ARE LED TO SEEK HIM MORE FERVENTLY. When our prayers are not instantly answered, we should not jump to foolish conclusions about [...]
“For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection” (Romans 6:5). TO BE A CHRISTIAN IS TO BE A PERSON UNDERGOING A GREAT CHANGE. What we are today is not what we will have become tomorrow — and each day [...]
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). SOME QUESTIONS CALL FOR A SOBER, DELIBERATE CONCENTRATION OF OUR MINDS, AND THE GREATEST OF THESE IS SURELY THAT OF OUR RELATIONSHIP TO GOD. What endeavor could possibly be [...]

Dear friends, Beginning today, I will be seeking to replace the arrangement that I have had for the last six years with the Broadmoor Church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee.

Handwritten Notes Are Valuable
Not long ago, I posted a short piece on Facebook expressing appreciation for an encouraging card that had been signed and sent to me by the ladies of a church in Hueytown AL.
