A question came up after church on Wednesday night a few weeks ago, and it had to do with the Legacy Standard Bible that we are using in our studies in Genesis. I love the LSB but I come from a very strict KJVO background and as I was unable to answer the question because…

Husband, father, pastor. There are a lot of ways to describe me. Raised along the Ohio River, but became a man in the mountains of New Mexico. Now I live in Brunswick Georgia. It's my prayer that God will use this for His glory!
Thank God for the “Celebrity Preachers”
As I write this, the news of Josh Buice’s fall is still hitting hard. What sad news! I only met him once and our time together, while brief, was not bad at all. In fact, he was very cordial to me and my family. It was at G3 Conference 2023. My youngest son (10 years…
It’s Not Just The Big Preachers That Fall
Every time there is anything that happens with a famous preacher, the blame is placed on conferences or “celebrity culture” (whatever that is) or social media. But such blame misses the mark. At the root of it all, the issue is the flesh: “Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality,…
An Update To The Church’s Webpage
I recently updated our church websites and social media page. It was long overdue. For a long time, we had some nice pictures of the building and few (if any) pictures of the actual church. That might be a little confusing to you, but the church is not the building. When people search for a…
Punctuation and Your Bible
I love punctuation. You should too. Everyone should love punctuation. It clarifies what is written and may even save lives. For instance, the following sentence has the same words but much different meanings and very different consequences: Let’s eat kids! Let’s eat, kids! One comma makes all the difference in the world! I love punctuation…
Yahweh: The Name of God by RC Sproul
The above video came up in my YouTube feed today. I am posting it here to share with others.
Genesis and This Generation: A Lesson From Athens
As I preach through Genesis on Wednesday night, I can’t help but think about its evangelistic impact. I also consider its apologetic impact on our culture. As I look around our city and our country, I am reminded this is not the same country. It is different from the one my grandfather grew up in…
The Necessity of Modern Translation
“For if the trumpet produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle? So also you, unless you utter by the tongue a word that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of sounds in the…
Yahweh Elohim, Yahweh God
In the KJV I grew up reading, Genesis 2:4 reads “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,” (Genesis 2:4, KJV) And most English translations are very similar, following a very old tradition of translating…
Paul, Division, Discipline, and the Corinthian Church
I’m currently preaching through 1 Corinthians on Sunday mornings here at Sovereign Grace Baptist Church. As has been my habit for many years, I like to start at chapter 1, verse 1 and go through the entire book verse by verse. The technical term for this type of preaching is sequential exposition. It’s the way…
