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 The actual title of today’s devotion from the BCL Newsletter is Pietism vs. Piety — What’s the Difference? I must admit that, somewhere in my mind, tucked away in a place likely never to be recovered, I had heard of Pietism before, but this study opened my eyes to another facet of Christianity and … More Devotional – Experience vs. Holiness – 01/14/2026
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
The fictional wall separating “Church and state” became a real issue some 30 or 40 years ago. At that time, however, there was never any mention, nor do I believe a thought of separating American citizens. While we differed in our interpretation of Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Church, we were still Americans and treated … More Study – “Wall of Seperation”- 01/10/2026
We must be exceptionally careful in the matter of comparing Scripture with Scripture. The Bible never contradicts itself. We must never base our doctrine upon one statement only; or to put it in another way, our doctrine must never be so formulated as to be in conflict with any other statement of Scripture or to … More Friday Feature Quote – “Why Doctrine Matters” – 12/26/2025

PREFACE I seem to be reading a lot about God’s Law. In a previous post, “Death of the Law,” the focus was on those who deny that God’s law is relevant today. Today’s devotional will examine Romans 7:7-12, focusing on the Misuse of God’s Law. There are many ways one can misuse or abuse God’s … More Friday Feature Quote -“Misuse of God’s Law” – 12/12/2025
