When Tommie turned 16 I went through a bit of a personal battle. One of the privileges I enjoyed was taking my girls where they needed to go. You could call it some good "Daddy-Daughter Time." After a balmy few days we are under ...

The Real Mary Forum …
One of my favorite books to re-read during the Season of Advent is Walter Wangerin's, Preparing for Jesus: Meditations on the Coming of Christ, Advent, Christmas and the Kingdom. I heard Walter preach at the first National Pastor's Convention and was completely enthralled at ...
Darfur Action Weekend … And what did you do?
I recall Dr. Nat Bettis teaching the course, "The Life of Christ" at Oklahoma Baptist University. Dr. Bettis used John Walter Good's, The Jesus of Our Fathers. In order to use this text he had to photocopy, with permission, his own. Later my mentor bought me a copy of Alfred Edersheim's, The ...
Possible? Dsirable? …

My daughter is taking ...
Get your Starbury’s …

Rick used to be employed by the BGCT and if you peruse his blog you will find some comments about the experience. ...
Preparing for Darfur Sunday … November 19
I picked up a copy of Newsweek. The front piece indicates the periodical will contain articles about, "The Politics of Jesus." I have read several of the articles and found it well noted some of we who are younger and may well be ...
Painful, isolated and on the way back …
One of my first preaching opportunities came in Red Rock, Oklahoma. Father Frank, as we affectionately referred to him at the time, needed someone to "fill the pulpit" while he would be away. I have always been grateful for the opportunity and regularly tell ...

Why Publicize Darfur? …
Since our participation in Darfur Action Sunday two weeks ago I have had a few conversations wondering about our interest and suggested involvement. One question revolved around whether or not we are encouraging military action. We are not encouraging military action as a first resort and would only suggest something of a UN Peace ...
