Get a spiritual-health checkup
In the past month, I have been preaching in my church on the topic "The Healthy Church." Most pastors and Christians would like for their churches to grow, but often we ask the wrong questions when it comes to seeing that happen.
God's love proven with Son's blood
The love of God is seen in the giving of Jesus to die for the sins of man. John recorded, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved" (John 3:16, 17).
Obeying law of love means application
Jesus made it clear of what the greatest rules of life to follow were. When asked what the greatest commandments from God were, he answered, in Mark 12, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength," and "Love your neighbor as yourself." The Apostle Paul elevated this idea of love in 1 Corinthians 13 when he went as far ...
Be prepared for when God calls
The Bible says, "It is appointed unto man, once to die, and then the judgment." And immediately some reader is thinking, "Why is he starting there? I turn to this column for a bit of uplift, and I get this?"
Obey God no matter what world thinks
What are Christians supposed to do when they are surrounded by those who refuse to hold to God's teachings?
Walking in the footsteps of Jesus
Last November, I was blessed to take my first pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Although I have been in the ministry for nearly 20 years, I had never gone to Israel.
Make your legacy one of generosity
Last week, I wrote about New Year's resolutions, filling the void within and changing lives for the better. From many years of counseling on many topics, I know about relationship and self-esteem issues.
What if life begins sooner than later?
This week marked the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a decision that made abortions legal. Since that decision, more than 54 million fetuses have been aborted, according to the National Right to Life Committee.
Religious round table set for Hinesville
Members of Africa on Fire and the Coastal Georgia School of Missions will sponsor a round table from 9 a.m.-noon Friday, Feb. 1, at the Temple of Praise Church Ministries, 406C S. Main St. in Hinesville.
Do not lose sight of what God expects of you
Some misunderstand God's promise of eternal life. They know - and are right - that God cares for every soul. However, they lose sight of the fact that God's promise is conditional.
Find a mission to give your time to
There are primarily three areas of missions: local, home and foreign. Local missions reach out to those within our geographic region. Home missions include other ministries to those out of our local geographic area, but still within the United States. Foreign missions are ministries to those outside of our own country.
Speaking in love can make a difference in life
"When you get to the fork in the road, take it." "Nobody ever goes there because it's always too crowded." "We made too many wrong mistakes." "A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore."
Turning to God, get the new year off right
As a new year begins, some wonder about the future. They are concerned about jobs, investments, family and a host of other things. There is nothing wrong with thinking about such things, as long as they do not enslave us to them, to the point that they are all we think about. If we allow that to happen, we will not have a "happy new year." At the beginning of the year it is a ...
Be remembered for good things
Just this week we've had to put away the old calendar for a new one; can you believe it's already 2013?
Confrontation can be key in shaping us
I had a wonderful conversation with an old friend this week. We had not spoken in 20 years. Gary is a very unique individual. The first time I met him was to interview him to become the music minister in the church I was serving as pastor. It was only a part-time position. His full-time job was as an attorney. Gary was great at both jobs, and we worked well together. But I have to ...

Heed wise words of the Master
Jesus said, "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day" (John 12:48). Knowing how much depends on obeying his word, a study of the Bible should be important to everyone.

God shows wack back to salvation
God created man to worship and love him. He had prepared a place for man to dwell, providing all of man's needs. (Genesis 1, 2). In doing this, God allowed for his creation, man, to be able to decide to obey him or to follow another way (Joshua 24:15).
