Is There Any Spiritual Authority Outside of a Church and Other than the Lord Jesus Christ?
Once upon a time, some people outside of First Baptist of Hammond warned about Jack Hyles. Hyles had worked his situation to insulate against outside interference. He had established a strong grip of pastoral authority, even when it was obvious to anyone that he was long disqualified from the office. When some attempted intervention with […]

A Door to Door Evangelism Encounter
Read part one. Don’t try to convince yourself that door-to-door means “shoving it down people’s throats,” a sales pitch, or the enemy of evangelizing your circles of influence. It doesn’t. Door-to-door is sowing the seed on every single plot of ground, searching every square inch for the lost coin, sheep, and son, and making […]

Should Christians Celebrate Christmas?
Through my 27+ years of pastoring, the question of the title of this post has arisen from several individuals on different occasions. I think it is a good question. It falls under “prove all things” (1 Thess 5:21). So let’s begin first with the meetings of a church. I’ll approach that with the regulative principle […]
American Idol
Everyone believes in something, either the true God or an idol. The first of God’s ten commandments warns against and forbids idols. Idols are whatever Satan and the world system offers as a replacement to God. The Apostle Paul in Romans 1 says men suppress God out of rebellion. The Apostle Peter in 2 Peter […]

Family Pictures
