Timelines, Pt. 4 #TraditionallySouthside
The first 3 ½ years of the Tribulation will be bad, but those who suffer through it need to know that it is only going to get worse. Half of the world’s population – 3.65 billion people will already be dead, but many more will die. It is at this point that the Antichrist will…

Timelines, Pt. 3 #TraditionallySouthside
As we continue to look at the timeline for the last days, remember that some of these events will happen concurrently and some consecutively. The order is a little subjective and may or may not be completely accurate, but every one of these events has been prophesied and have not been completely fulfilled. That means…

Timelines, Pt. 2 #TraditionallySouthside
As we continue along this timeline of the last days, I want to explain something to you. Many people wonder why I believe that the rapture is the next item on God’s prophetic timeline. They ask me why I believe that the church of the Lord Jesus Christ won’t be here for the Tribulation. My…

A Timeline of the Last Days #TraditionallySouthside
To my readers — especially those of you who attend Southside — the next few days on this blog will be focused on what I believe is coming soon. These words come from sermons I have preached over the last several weeks based on my studies of the Bible for a lot of years. Please…

Confused Christians #TraditionallySouthside

There has been a lot of talk lately about end-times prophecies and the last days. In fact, I’ve been doing a lot of the talking. At Southside, I am preaching a series of messages focused on Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 24 and how it relates to the last days. We have also been doing a…

Family! #TraditionallySouthside
Family is almost everything, isn’t it? I mean, it isn’t salvation, but it is through family that we should learn about salvation, so that’s where the almost comes in. Family is where we learn what true love is. The nurture of fathers and mothers start us on the path of understanding that love is more…

My Word! #TraditionallySouthside
Words are powerful. They can be used as tools to build a brighter future or as medicines that heal broken hearts. Sadly, they can also be used as weapons that destroy a life or a family. The irony is that while most of us would never take a gun and fire it carelessly into a…

Parents are Liars (Not Really) #TraditionallySouthside
(Disclaimer – I don’t really believe that all parents are liars. It just seems that I get more readers if the title of my blog is more provocative. If I knew how to make a smiley face 🙂 I would put one here.) Parents often lie to their children. I know that is a shocking…

Sandpaper Seasons (inspired by A. Willis, adapted by S. Hayes) guest blogger
Sandpaper. It is…well, brown and abrasive; not too appealing. I have used it on many occasions to complete home improvement projects. I’ve even become well-acquainted with the different types of “grit” they come in, depending on how coarse or fine I needed the sandpaper to be. Sandpaper was originally called “glass paper” because it actually…
