Our Mission, Our Response Pt. 5 #TraditionallySouthside
Okay, then. How do we put all of this together. If we are going to impact our culture in such a way that we see this nation return to its Christian heritage, we need a spiritual awakening that will exceed the Great Awakenings of the past centuries. That means that the Church must experience revival,…

Our Mission, Our Response Pt. 4 #TraditionallySouthside
I feel like the guy you used to see as a caricature on television shows and in cartoons. You remember him, don’t you? He wore the sandwich sign that said, “The end is near.” Everyone either ridiculed him or ignored him. Don’t misunderstand. No one has ridiculed me to my face. I have faced no…

Our Mission, Our Response Pt. 3 #TraditionallySouthside
Earthquakes, famines, diseases. Wars and rumors of wars. Jesus called these birth pangs – the beginning of sorrows. Christians will be hated because of our stand for Christ. “Many will be offended,” He said. Sound familiar? You can’t even drink a cup of coffee these days with someone being offended by the way you do…

Our Mission, Our Response Pt. 2 #TraditionallySouthside
With everything that is going on in our world today, with Supreme Court Decisions that are ungodly and unconstitutional, with threats being made to the tax-exempt status of the church, with the pressure of people from inside the church and outside to accept and condone sinful behavior, how is the church supposed to respond? Factor…

Happy Independence Day!
Hope you enjoy the weekend, but don’t forget to honor and thank our Heavenly Father for giving us these great gifts. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed BY THEIR CREATOR with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”…

Be Bold
I had a long conversation last night following prayer meeting with a young man that I respect and admire a great deal. My estimation of him skyrocketed during our conversation. I can’t give you lots of details but I will say that he is an expectant father and a committed Christian. He was calling because…

The Saddest Day Ever
It’s our fault. I have said this many times before, and I will say it many times again. Sadly, but without hesitation. I know that Leroy Jethro Gibbs (NCIS for those of you who have lived in a cave for the last 12 years) says that you should never apologize because it is a sign…

A Dog in this Fight!
Yesterday, I shared with you why I feel so strongly about the issue of same-sex marriage. I focused more on the individual aspect – the need to reach lost people with the gospel of Jesus Christ regardless of their sin. Please understand, if you wrongly call me a “hater” because I stand on God’s Word…

I Like to be Liked
I like to be liked. Don’t you? I hate conflict because conflict causes people not to like each other even though we should all be mature enough to disagree without being disagreeable. Sadly, that is not the case most of the time. When we disagree with each other, we become offended that someone has the…
