A year ago this month I began a series of sermons in Galatians using the Legacy Standard Bible. That might not seem like much to write about to many people, but up to that point I had only preached from the King James Bible. I used to be a “King James Only” preacher and many…
“These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling. They will put you out of the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God. These things they will do because they did not know the Father or…
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…
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…
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” (Philippians 4:6 , KJV) What is this talking about?

Yesterday, I preached from Galatians 5:1-6 using the Legacy Standard Bible, and the title of my sermon was “Severed from Christ.” This comes from verse 4: “You have been severed from Christ, you who are being justified by law; you have fallen from grace!” (Galatians 5:4) Here’s something I did not bring out in my…
Recently I have been preaching a series of sermons on the subject of the history of the Bible. It was a lot easier when I didn’t study and preached one sermon that said: “King James good, all others bad!” This series is not an in depth series, but I trust it is a blessing to…
The Second London Baptist Confession of Faith, usually referred to as the 1689 Confession was not King James Only. Here is Article One, Paragraph 8: The Old Testament in Hebrew (which was the native language of the people of God of old),14 and the New Testament in Greek (which at the time of the writing of…
Lately, some well meaning (I hope) Landmark Baptists have been bad mouthing the Second London Confession of Faith due to its connection with the Reformed Baptists. This is zeal without knowledge, because few (if any) of the churches in America can trace themselves very far back without finding churches that held to this great confession….
