What Are You Bringing Those Starving For God?
May 31, 2009
“In the days of Nero there was great shortness of food in the city of Rome, although there was abundance of corn to be purchased in Alexandria. A certain man who owned a vessel… noticed many hungry people straining their eyes toward the sea, watching for the vessels that were to come from Alexandria with [...]
Can You Believe This? Youth Pastor
April 23, 2009
Last night after church we stopped at a Krystal’s for some of their square burgers. Krystal’s has had a “Hall of Fame” going on for quite a while. In it they portray the story of a person who loves to eat Krystal burgers.
Guess what one of the Krystal boxes actually said!

Quotes – Charles Spurgeon
April 21, 2009
“I do believe that we slander Christ
when we think that we are to draw the people
by something else but the preaching of Christ crucified.”

Sound Doctrine, Sound Words – Phil Johnson
March 11, 2009
Sound Doctrine, Sound Words (Part 1)
This morning I want to look at two verses in Titus 2—verses 7-8. This is an admonition from Paul to Titus, his friend, partner, protege, and true son in the faith. Titus is one of the unsung heroes of the early church—a young pastor whose faithful support and constant behind-the-scenes [...]
What’s In Your Library?
February 17, 2009
The Preacher’s Library By Jay Adams
You used to be able to tell a lot about a preacher—and about his preaching—simply by walking into his library. If it was filled with catchy titles, how-to manuals, frothy experience-oriented fluff, as well as second-rate commentaries, you could know that isn’t the place to hang your hat as a church [...]
How Should We Get a Crowd for the Gospel? – Jim Elliff
February 13, 2009
The title expresses one of the two main questions concerning evangelism that are before us at this time in our history. The other question is, “What is the gospel?” That question has been discussed in relation to the Lordship controversy some years earlier, the current New Perspective issue, and the ongoing Calvinism/Arminianism debate. A lot [...]
Don Fortner in Alabama
February 9, 2009
I learned just yesterday that Pastor Don Fortner will be preaching in Sylacauga, Alabama this upcoming weekend. I would have enjoyed getting to hear him since he is not going to be too far away from us. However, my daughter will be at UA for orchestra all-state that same weekend.
I have enjoyed listening to Pastor [...]
Al Mohler’s “He Is Not Silent”
January 7, 2009
From Al Mohler’s He Is Not Silent
“The audacious claim of Christian preaching is that the faithful declaration of the Word of God, spoken through the preacher’s voice, is even more powerful than anything music or image can deliver.”
“If we do not come face-to-face with our sin as individuals and as a congregation, we [...]
John MacArthur on Preaching
January 6, 2009
“One of the clearest lessons we can learn from church history is that strong biblical preaching is absolutely vital to the health and vitality of the church. From the birth of the New Testament church until today, every significant phase of authentic revival, reformation, missionary expansion, or robust church growth has also been an era [...]
Our Visit to Grace Life Church – Jeff Noblit’s Church
November 25, 2008
We visited Grace Life Church this past Sunday. Several people have asked for me to tell them all about the services.
Isaiah was nice enough to introduce me to a friend that attends Grace Life Church. We were able to meet Brother Ed and his wife just before the services started. Thank you, Isaiah and Brother [...]
A Vacation to go to Church ?
November 21, 2008
We visited a small, local church Wednesday night because time didn’t allow for us to get to the churches we prefer to attend but that are a long drive for us. During the sermon, the preacher complained about people taking vacations and not going to church. My husband gave me a funny look at that [...]

The Ten Indictments
November 2, 2008
Several people have suggested I listen to Paul Washer’s sermon The Ten Indictments. Many have probably already heard it. I haven’t had the opportunity to listen to it yet but my husband has. He was nice enough to print it out for me which is my preferred way to “listen” to a sermon. So I’ve [...]
Harsh Language in the Pulpit
October 8, 2008
John Piper 2007 – At the Passion07 breakout session you used language that seemed inappropriate to some. Will you explain why you did that?
I think if I had it to do over, I would not say it. On the one hand, I don’t like fanning the flames of those who think it is hip and [...]
The Funeral Message for an Unbeliever
June 26, 2008
I have been to so many funerals where the pastor essentially told everyone that they would all see the departed when they get to heaven, with no Gospel given. The church today has deceived so many into thinking they are saved because they said a little prayer when nine at VBS.
Please don’t be a part [...]

Too Much Preaching?
June 11, 2008
A Family member has accused me of “preaching too much.” Is it possible to preach too much or to be too concerned for another’s Salvation? What is funny is I see this person 3 – 4 times a year at most and usually in large family gatherings. I have not said anything similar to “preaching” [...]
