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
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

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 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

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
“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
COMMENT I know very little about Mr. McConaughey other than he stars in films. I do, however, agree with his quote, which is germane to today’s Devotional/Study.
