Tell the Story:The Power to Deliver #TellTheStory
We live in a culture filled with people living in bondage. They are enslaved by their addictions. Enslaved by their fears. Enslaved by depression. Enslaved by their disease. Many are in prisons of their own making. But let me tell you something that is even scarier – a statistic that is so dramatic that it…

The Power to Believe #TellThe Story
Everybody wants proof, don’t they? It’s always been that way. I can almost hear Adam those first days as he was walking in the Garden of Eden with God introducing him to all of the new and exotic fruits. “I’m supposed to eat that? Really? You first.” Human beings are skeptical in nature, and sometimes…

God’s Calling #TellTheStory
Have you ever gotten one of those phone calls that changes everything? Maybe for good? Maybe for bad? It could be about a job that you applied for, and the call comes in and the person on the other end of the line tells you that you’ve been hired. Or maybe it’s your doctor, and…

Unsung Heroes and Overcoming Evil
One of my biggest heroes in the world is a midwife in Pensacola, Florida. That’s right – a midwife. Her name is Jenny Allen, and she saved my granddaughter’s life. If it wasn’t for her, our little Lucy would probably be dead right now. God used her in an amazing way to do exactly the…

Lessons on Leadership Learned From the Bottom of a Well Pt. 2 #TellTheStory
Understand, Joseph was different. His philosophy of life is given to us in this passage of scripture. It’s possible that at the beginning of all this, Joseph thought about getting even. Who wouldn’t? Thrown into a well? Sold into slavery? Ending up in prison? Perhaps he had harbored some bitterness for a while. Who wouldn’t?…

There is a story in the Bible about a young man who probably felt a lot like that “old donkey that fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out a way to get him out. Finally, he decided it was probably impossible and the animal…

The WWE Gets Its Start Pt. 2
So, you are probably wondering about the title – where the WWE got its start? I promise that I will get to that in this post. But once again I am amazed at the faithfulness of our covenant-keeping God who is willing to use people like you and me and Jacob (yes, we need to…

The WWE Gets Its Start Pt. 1
I don’t know about you, but I grew up watching “rasslin’” on TV. Dusty Rhodes, the American Dream, was just about everybody’s hero with his bionic elbow. I can remember dishing out a few of those with my friends, and getting a few in return. I mean, you couldn’t very well dish them out without…

Some People Are Afraid of Everything Pt. 2 #TraditionallySouthside
This is part two so that means you need to go back and read part one if you haven’t already done so. Otherwise, this might not make a whole lot of sense. We’re talking about overcoming fear. Some people are chronically afraid. Some people worry. Some people just haven’t learned to trust God like they…

Some People Are Afraid of Everything Pt. 1 #TraditionallySouthside
Would you have ever believed that we would have been in the situation we are in today? Our nation is in a mess – everybody seems to be protesting something. Pro-Trump. Anti-Trump. We love refugees. We hate refugees. Even among Southern Baptists, we can’t agree on which direction we should go which, of course, is…
