Send us Fan Mail Because a critical spirit is so often confused with a person being a pessimist or even a fatalist, because we equate it with having a negative attitude, we tend to think of a spirit of criticism as a personality quirk and we let it go unchecked. Yet a spirit of criticism can invade and quickly conquer an entire family or church or job site. And the devastation that is left is a sc...

Send us Fan Mail While clay is still wet, it is moldable, and the potter can fashion it in any number of directions. But once that clay dries, it is far more difficult to change. And once it has been through the kiln’s fires, it can only be discarded. Jeremiah learns that God deals similarly with His people. Let’s remain pliable in our Maker’s hands.  

Send us Fan Mail Watching a potter do his work is both fascinating and soothing. What had been just a chunk of clay becomes something recognizable and useful right before your eyes. That clay, throughout that process, may be altered and reshaped a number of times. The potter works it until it becomes just what he has in mind. Obviously, there are numerous spiritual lessons. Let’s examine a few tha...

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Tim tells us often how he was sitting on a log in the north Georgia mountains reading James, chapter 1, when the Holy Spirit of God finally broke through his callousness, and saved him. In just 2 more months, that will have been 40 years ago. In the second half of this message, Pastor Tim tells us his story again, and relays how what God did for him, He’ll do for you.  

Send us Fan Mail The Bible is God’s greatest treasure that we have on this earth. It is the Word of God, the complete revelation of Himself, of us, of our need, and of His solution. There we learn His purpose for us and His purpose for His entire creation. So, why do we treat the Bible with such contemptible familiarity? James encourages us to do more than that, and to see our lives transformed.

Send us Fan Mail To me, one of the most majestic songs in the very lengthy Christian playlist is the song, “Lift High the Lord Our Banner.” It just sounds like a proper, royal, processional song. But it also carries a weighty message. Moses named an alter, Jehovah-Nissi, The Lord is My Banner. I lift that banner high for two reasons: 1) because I am rightly-proud to be His child, and 2) because I...

Send us Fan Mail The flag of the United States is the banner that indicates that we are Americans. In Vacation Bible School, we use the Christian flag as a banner that we are believers. Pennants that baseball teams win are banners to indicate that that team is a champion. A string pennant is a series of banners to let you know that you’ve entered a Used Car Lot. One of God’s names or titles is Jeh...

Send us Fan Mail The directions given to the prophet Hosea by God are some of the strangest you could imagine. God tells his holy-man to marry an unfaithful woman, both of them knowing that she will continue to be unfaithful after the wedding. Sure enough, she fills Hosea’s house with children who are not his. God uses this very scenario to teach His people a lesson they may not learn any other wa...

Send us Fan Mail  Plenty of people feel unloved and unwanted. And some really are. God shows His people in very graphic terms the way that He loves them despite their unfaithfulness toward Him and their rejection of Him. If you feel unwanted and unloved, know that God fully understands that, and He has done everything necessary to draw you close to Himself. He loves you.

Send us Fan Mail When we think about the Greatest Generation, one word that is often used to describe those men and women is the word courage . They faced difficulties subsequent generations only read about. Much of that had to do with war. You and I, friend, are at war, a war for the souls of men and women and boys and girls. One word that describes what this generation of Christians need is cour...

Send us Fan Mail  Hebrews, chapter 11, catalogues Old Testament saints who trusted God and acted accordingly. It called for great courage on their part. After listing 16 such saints by name, the writer of Hebrews reminds us that there are many, many more by saying, “Still others…” It is the group of others that we could easily find ourselves among as we clash courageously with the culture around u...

Send us Fan Mail David the shepherd, David the fugitive, even David the King found himself in trouble often…and usually from his own making.  Most of us can identify with that.  The good news for David was that he sought help from the right source: from God.  When you’re in trouble, where do you turn for help.  This is one of those times we’d say, “Be like David. Ask God for Help.”

Send us Fan Mail Lifeway's Vacation Bible School curriculum this year is titledTwists and Turns.  The verse the children are asked to memorize is Psalm 25:4 - "Show me your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths."  This not just a passage for children; it is also applicable for adults.  As Britt David prepares for VBS, Pastor Tim preaches on this passage for children and adults... and fo...

Send us Fan Mail When we consider our ways, we are forced to consider God’s ways. And when we consider God’s ways, that turns us right around shedding light on our ways that we might consider and change. When the church gets ahold of the message of Haggai, the church will be a dominate force in this wayward world.

Send us Fan Mail The Book of Haggai is a stout and powerful little Book. It’s message is so strong. And though it is an Old Testament Book written by an Old Testament prophet about a historic Old Testament event, It is just as much a message to a New Testament church. It decries our complacency, and it declares our course of action. Repeatedly the prophet quotes the Lord of hosts, saying, “Conside...

Send us Fan Mail Imagine being a major league baseball player, standing in the batter’s box, with a pitcher a mere sixty feet six inches away from you, ready to throw a 100 mph fastball. Aroldis Chapman has thrown the fastest pitch recorded at 105 mph. He has thrown 273 pitches over 103 mph. And he has hit 30 batters. Still want to stand in there? What you do at the plate matters. More so if you’r...

Send us Fan Mail Atlanta Braves starting pitcher, Spencer Strider has burst onto the scene. He surpassed John Smoltz and now holds the franchise record for most strikeouts in a game. He is becoming a modern-day strikeout king. But it is the three swings and misses by the rich, young ruler that makes his the saddest strikeout ever. His failure doesn’t lead to the loss of a mere game; his has eterna...

Send us Fan Mail Adrian Rogers said, “We may not know that God is enough until God is all you have.” Sadly, the only way to learn that lesson is through loss. Yet God proves Himself to be faithful and to be all that we need. Habakkuk learned that lesson, and you can too.  

Send us Fan Mail Habakkuk, though such a small and seemingly hidden Book, is one of the most appropriate Books to speak to our American culture today. What Habakkuk’s people are going through, and what they have done, has been paralleled by our society. But what should make us sigh in exasperation can still allow us to sing in exaltation.  

Send us Fan Mail When Jesus said to Jerusalem that He wanted to draw them close to Himself like a mother-hen wants to gather her chicks close to her, He expressed the heart of every godly mother: to pray protection and guidance on her children. Praise God for the godly mothers who pray with and for their children.

Send us Fan Mail Many of us have enjoyed the privilege and the blessings of having a godly, praying mother. God placed within females the notion toward rearing and nurturing children. That doesn't mean that moms are only interested in the physical necessities and comforts of life; a godly mother knows that the spiritual part of life is equally important. On this Mother's Day, consider a...

Send us Fan Mail Transgenderism is a real and vocal part of today’s culture. Jesus reminds us in His High-Priestly Prayer that though we are in the world, we are not of this world. So how do we represent Jesus in a post-modern, anti-Christian world that embraces a vast departure from a foundational truth?

Send us Fan Mail When we study Genesis, we can’t help but study Creation. When we study Creation, we can’t help but study God making man in His own image. When we study God making man in His own image, we can’t help but see how far we have departed from this Holy God. And that departure is magnified in our setting today.
