I’m currently preaching through the little epistle of 2 John and I take the Word literally…I believe the reference to “…. the elect lady and her children…” in 2 John 1 should be understood in a normal, plain sense referring to a particular woman and her children rather than interpreted in a non-literal sense.. In…

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!
Webster Saw The Need In the 1830s
Noah Webster (1758-1843), known as the “Father of American Scholarship and Education,” is perhaps most famous in most Christian circles these days for his 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language. If you don’t have a copy of that dictionary, you really should get one. What a lot of Christians don’t know is he was…
The Older Brother of Luke 15
Luke 15 has been on my mind because as we read it often we get lost in the (manmade) divisions. I say “we” because I have done the same in my study and my preaching. This is how the text begins: “Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were coming near Him to listen…
LSB Handy Size Inside Column Reference Red Letter
As most of my friends and my family knows, I am a fan of the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) translation and the Inside Column Reference (ICR) Bible is my favorite format. The ICR has become my primary preaching Bible, even though I own many other Bibles. Enter the Handy Size Inside Column Reference Red Letter….
Finishing Well Wherever You Are
What a year it has been. Seems like one right after another I have heard of someone who impacted my life dying. John MacArthur was 85. Charlie Kirk was 31. Voddie Baucham was 56. They all died this year and they all impacted my life in one way or another. I never preached with any…
Pastor John MacArthur: Gone But Not Forgotten
“I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and teaching. For the time will come when they…
The Declaration of Independence
When was the last time you read the Declaration of Independence in its entirety? On this July 4, take time to read it and let us all thank God for the brave men of that generation, and thank Him for what we have still. There’s a reason we call today Independence Day. Here is the…
Evangelism Lessons from the New Testament
Reading through the New Testament, we find some great practical lessons about evangelism in a corrupt society. As I was reading through it again this year, I decided to write some of these down. May God get the glory! First, Whether Jew or Greek – the message is the same. “For I am not ashamed…
Theologians from the Past Believed In A Future Conversion of National/Ethnic Israel
When anything happens in Israel, I do enjoy learning the eschatology of my friends and followers on social media…. even when it is something I disagree with. This time around, it seems like the volume is way up and I’m not sure whether some of y’all are angrier with the Jews or the dispensationalists. No…
Preaching the Text From Different Angles
There are an often many different angles to preach a text and still be obedient to the text. That’s how we preachers never exhaust the Bible when we preach (or we would exhaust our hearers!). Take the first book of the Bible, Genesis. I’m currently preaching through it on Wednesday nights. It’s a foundational book….
