12 comments

Recently, I put together a study for my church covering the Lord’s Prayer.  It is something we will we doing this spring at Wednesday night prayer meeting and Bible study.  I figure if we’re going to have prayer meeting, it is probably good to talk about prayer! This is the introduction and part one… Introduction [...]

Lord, Move Us!

It was our second day in Asia. The night before, I had experienced my first “English Corner” – an opportunity to meet students, speak to them in English, and share with them my culture, my experiences, and most of all, my faith in Christ. In our initial English corner, I was the first one Ellen [...]

Remember Who You Are

God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Numbers 23:19 Flee. Run. Hide. Seek. Turn. Emerge. Rinse and repeat? For too many people, life has become an extended game of playground freeze [...]

We have ADS on this site?

9 comments

In the wake of the latest set of arguments about whether Calvinists have been here, are being here, or evermore shall be here, I was reading a few blog posts on the issue. Naturally, I read here, since I am supposedly a contributor here and will get co-blamed for anything that happens at this site. [...]

The Life We Can’t Erase

  And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” – Revelation 21:5 I wish — though I don’t believe in wishes — that I could take a number two pencil and write down on a blue-lined piece of three-hole-punched notebook paper the moments of my life, label it [...]

Open Letter to T.D. Jakes

122 comments

This was originally posted at Modern March Bishop Jakes, Let me first commend you on your acceptance to join the furnace that is the Elephant Room. You have taken a lot of heat over the years from pastors and theologians of all ilks, and you have handled it rather gracefully just as you did today. [...]

A Pattern for Prayer, Courtesy of O.S. Hawkins

20 comments

As much as I love what E.M. Bounds wrote about the need for prayer, I have three faults with his writings on the subject. First, chapters tend to repeat the same ideas. He ends up saying the same thing over and over without actually advancing beyond his main idea for many pages. Second, he fails [...]

And Still We Try to Reason Why

9 comments

It’s okay to question why. It’s okay to even cry. Don’t ever hesitate to try. God will answer; He won’t lie. There’s no answer He won’t know. There’s no place He will not go. There’s no path He will not show. God will answer; He loves you so. No question lies within your mind. That [...]

Back on the New Year’s Resolutions post, I told Dave I’d try to write more for Voices. Well, more than my recent stream of goofy and non-serious comments. I might dig up something controversial to help with the blog traffic, but for now the most controversial I’ll get is gun ownership and responsible wildlife management. [...]

Musings on Resolutions (updated)

6 comments

This post is modified from one that appeared two years ago on sbcIMPACT.   “Being sensible that I am unable to do anything without God’s help, I do humbly entreat him by his grace to enable me to keep these resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to his will, for Christ’s sake.” Thus begins [...]

“Pleased as man with men to dwell”

This line from the song “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” is one of my favorites from all Christmas songs. This line, from a later verse of the song, speaks of Christ in a rather poetic (and memorable) fashion that makes the ear tingle and the heart raise. I think one of the reasons why hymns [...]

New Years Resolutions

2 comments

Happy New Year! Have you ever noticed how, right after the holidays, all the fitness centers start advertising on television to cash in on all those who make New Year’s resolutions to get fit? For some reason the start of a new year inspires the world much more than just the start of a new [...]
