THOUGHTS ON PRAYER
Recently I tweeted this, “I think we talk too much when we pray. I think we should kneel and listen.” God says in Ecclesiastes 5:2 – “Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on […]
WHAT GOD PROVIDES IS ALL THAT I NEED
God wants us to learn how to face life with joy and confidence. Now, you may be thinking how is this possible when trials, troubles, and heartaches come our way? We must learn to be content in all circumstances in this life. The Apostle Paul said in Philippians 4:19 – “And my God shall supply […]

In his classic book “They Found the Secret”, V. Raymond Edman shares what God is up to in your life when you have this […]
THE DAY GOD CAME INTO ME
A few years ago, I was preaching revival messages at Lyon Baptist Church in Mississippi. This is near my hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi. The Music Director for the revival services was Rev.

MINISTRY IN NICARAGUA
I recently traveled to Nicaragua with Dr. Giles Damron, and a mission’s team from our church at Lakeland First Baptist. This was primarily a medical missions endeavor. Many stood in long lines to receive dental and medical help, and many heard a clear presentation of the gospel and were given literature to help them spiritually; […]
