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…

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.
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…
Why The Name of Yahweh Matters
I am doing beginning a series through Genesis using the LSB, and one of the things that really stuck out to me is the fact that in Genesis 1, we have “In the beginning God [Elohim] created the heavens and the earth….” But in chapter 2, we are introduced to Yahweh God. I had not…
Bring Me ….A Penny?
In Mark 12:15, the King James Bible reads, ”Bring me a penny…..” but it actually wasn’t a penny like we think of a penny. John Broadus, the American Baptist commentator and preacher from the 1800s wrote “‘Penny’ (King James and English revisers) is a very misleading translation, and we must either say “shilling” (6:37),…
No Small Disturbance Concerning The Way
On Wednesday nights, I am preaching through the book of Acts using the King James Version. This is the second time I have done this. The first time was a few years ago in Mansfield Ohio at the church I pastored up there. This time I am pastoring the Sovereign Grace Baptist Church in Hortense…
Expository Preaching
I have not commented on this much before because there is a lot of debate over it, and much controversy. Yet, the more things get muddled and said about preaching and the more preaching I hear the more I realize there is a need to be clear on this. My grandfather (Elder James Hobbs Sr)…
Untouchable Pastors
“Untouchable pastors.” Many of us have seen them, or at least heard them. One of their favorite texts is Psalm 105:15 and 1 Chronicles 16:22, both of which read: “Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” I even heard one pastor claim to be the exclusive mouth piece for God for…
Church Attendance
Pastor D Green 03.09.2019 “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:25) I want us to consider the subject of “Church Attendance.” This message was preached from the pulpit as part of a series I called Neglected Church Truths. I believe this…
Have You Gotten Cold?
D Green04.06.2014 “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” (Matthew 24:12) This winter got really cold in a lot of parts of the country. Up in Mansfield we had temperatures of somewhere near twenty below zero on more than one occasion! Folks, if you have never experienced cold weather like that,…
