I am praying that all my families, friends, and readers have not been overly impacted by the winter storm that has moved through the US. Here in my area of Mississippi, we had lots of rain, some freezing rain, and more rain, along with high winds and very cold temperatures. The outside temperature this morning … More Saturday Study and Sunday Sermon- “CIVIL” – 01/25 – 26/2026
COMMENT What is “Christian Joy” and how does one obtain it, are questions that have been asked repeatedly throughout the history of the church. I think, even more so, in the last 60-70 years. The Western world has become increasingly self-obsessed, more what’s in it for me. Pulpits have preached a message of love, pushing … More Friday Feature Quote “Joy” – 01/23/2026
Today’s devotional and study is from the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. I have used their materials often because I agree with their view most of the time. Today is no exception. While this article focuses on the importance of Creeds, I think it could be expanded to include Catechisms and Confessions as well. Why … More Devotion/Study – “THREE C’s” – 01/22/2026
COMMENT As I glanced over the Beautiful Christian Life January monthly newsletter (attached), I tried to remember the last time I seriously thought about Holiness. I often think of it in the context of God’s sovereignty, but rarely the Holiness of God as its own doctrine or how it applies to you and me. Oh, … More Sunday Sermon Series – “Holiness” – 01/18/2026
I will not comment at length, but it is important to note that there are many views on what constitutes the “Gifts of the Holy Spirit.” A quick Google search for an image showed a majority of seven gifts, followed by nine, and some with lists so long I did not bother to count. I … More Devotional – “Gifts” – 01/13/2026
I never thought, 20 or so years ago, when I first read some of Edwards’ works, that I would have much in common with him. The older I get, however, and as this drawing shows, we actually have something very much in common. Oh, for certain, I am not claiming to be the great preacher … More Monday Humor (+) – 01/12/2026
“There are but two families in the world, and to one of the two every man and woman belongs,” Boston writes. “One is Satan’s family, the other God’s.” All humans are born into the family of Satan because we are all born as sinners. God’s effectual calling draws sinners out of Satan’s family and brings … More Friday Feature Quote – ” Adoption Key to Prayer” – 01/09/2026
GENESIS 3 COMMENTS As 2025 comes to a close, I think it is a good reminder to reflect on our failures as men and women to do good consistently. This is not a condemnation, a judgment, but an observation that holds true for me as well as for the rest of mankind. To understand today’s … More Study -All Sin all the Time – 12/31/2025
FSMandFSMWO prays your hearts are filled with the joy and peace that only comes from our risen Savior, whose birth we celebrate this Christmas. MacArthur’s quote is especially relevant today. Folks either focus on what is in front of them (Manger) and overlook the impact (birth of Creator), or they are so focused on what … More Christmas 2025
Some of my daily followers may have noted my absence the past couple of weeks. I have been battling some minor medical issues that are not life-threatening, are annoying, and require outpatient procedures and bed rest. Through it all, I have had much to be thankful for, a great group of medical staff, friends, and … More Devotion- “Give Thanks” – 11/29/25
