Billy Graham was once asked, “If you could eliminate one single problem on planet earth … just one … what would it be?” He replied, “I would eliminate the problem of prejudice.” Prejudice is a problem that is old as the human race. And each one of us have been prejudice at some time in [...]
We are studying the Book of James at our church. And James tells us some very important things about faith. It’s a great book, only five chapters, and I would recommend that you sit down and read it this week. If you read a chapter a day, you can read the book in a week. [...]
Warning! This article contains the name “Jesus” and might be offensive to some who read it.” O.K., now that you have been warned, I will continue by asking the question, “What happened to America?” Where did we go wrong? I remember starting the day in school by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and then saying [...]
I really like the scripture Romans 8:28 that says: “We know that all things work together for good, to those who love the Lord.” But if we stop and think about that for a minute…do all things work together for good? Or, to ask it another way, are all things good? Of course not. Not [...]

Billy came running home and yelled to his dad, “Daddy, Johnny’s father has a list of all the other fathers he can beat up and your name is at the top of the list.” “It is, huh?” replied his dad. “Where does Johnny’s dad live?” “About four houses down on the left.” So Billy’s dad [...]
If you are familiar with the book of Nehemiah, and I asked you what the teaching of the book was, you’d probably respond, “Nehemiah and the re-building of the wall around Jerusalem.” Most people would. But it’s not. Nehemiah is about God building a people — God’s people. For almost 200 years, God’s word, God’s [...]
I have been preaching through the Book of Nehemiah on Sunday morning. It’s about God’s appointed man at God’s appointed time doing God’s appointed work — the work of re-building the wall around Jerusalem.
