Nepal or Bust Pt. 4 #TraditionallySouthside
It has been a difficult transition – returning from Nepal to the United States. I’m just being honest. Perhaps it is the jetlag. Maybe it is returning to “normal” whatever that is. As the old song goes, somewhat paraphrased, “I left my heart in Kathmandu.” As difficult as it was to climb the small mountains…

Nepal or Bust Pt. 3 #TraditionallySouthside
Okay, it wasn’t bad, but we didn’t get to do a lot of ministry on Sunday. First let me correct a misconception. I said that the Bed and Breakfast was a typical Nepali house. You have to understand that there are two different typical houses in Nepal – those owned by the very rich and…

Nepal or Bust Pt. 2 #TraditionallySouthside
It was a fairly short flight from Abu Dhabi to Kathmandu. We had been warned that it was monsoon season, and when we arrived, the rain had been falling. Ironically, our team members from Whitesburg Baptist Church in Huntsville had asked their people to pray that God would shut the heavens while we were there.…

Nepal or Bust #TraditionallySouthside
And so it began. On Friday August 21, we headed to Nepal to do “psycho-social” work – counseling women and children who had been traumatized by the earthquakes. I say earthquakes because they had two major quakes and almost 400 aftershocks measuring 4.0 and higher. Thousands of people died. Homes made of mud and bricks…

Infinitely Valuable #TraditionallySouthside
Did you know that you are a person of infinite worth? You are. I know that to be the truth. I know we preachers often tell you how bad people are — that we are wicked and sinful and totally worthless. And we are. The Bible tells us that because of our sin, we deserve…

Totally Truthful #TraditionallySouthside
I had an interesting experience last week. I was invited to lead a Bible study with an amazing group of people. I guess we had about 40 in attendance. They were extremely inquisitive, raising their hands to ask a variety of questions, sharing numerous needs, and singing favorite songs. Yes, one lady told me that…

Have You Done Enough? #TraditionallySouthside
Have you ever stopped to think about your future? No, I’m not getting back onto the last days biblical prophecies just yet. I’m talking about what is going to happen to you in the coming days if Jesus doesn’t return. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this lately for a couple of reasons.…

Awesomely Ashley
August 25 How about a change of pace? We have been focusing on the last days for a while now, and we will get back to that soon. But today is a very special day. Our youngest daughter, Ashley Andrews, is celebrating her 30th birthday today. Sadly, we are not able to be with her…

Tribulation Time Pt. 5 #TraditionallySouthside
But all is not lost. Look at Mt. 24:13, keeping in mind that we are talking about a time following the rapture of the church that goes through the seven years of tribulation. Even as evil is raging unbridled across this world, Jesus promised a reward to those who persevere. He says, “He who endures…

Tribulation Time Pt. 4 #TraditionallySouthside
During the Tribulation, Jesus said, lawlessness will abound and the love of many will grow cold. Those who give themselves over to this lawlessness will reject everything. Many will hold onto the name of Christian, but just like many church members today, they have a profession of faith but not a possession of faith. They…
