The End Is Come OR Maybe Not?

So, have you heard? According to one prominent radio broadcaster, Harold Camping, the end is this Saturday. While Mr. Camping is a student of the Bible, sometimes the easiest passages are the ones we most often overlook. For instance, 1 Thessalonians 5: 1-2 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need [...]

Japan Update by Phil & Debbie Melton

Japan has a long history of dealing with both earthquakes and tsunami… [津波--from "tsu" meaning "port" or "harbor" and "nami" meaning "wave.] …but none quite so large or as devastating as the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that followed on March 11.  In general it was less of a wave and more of a spilling over [...]

Finally some good news…

I know it’s a few weeks old, but have you heard the story about Wake Forest baseball coach, Tom Walter and player, Kevin Jordan? When Kevin Jordan was deciding where to play college baseball, the commitment of Wake Forest coach Tom Walter to his players helped sway him toward Winston-Salem. Even before taking his first [...]

Thoughts on Super Bowl Sunday

In just a few hours our country will come to a stand still to be entertained by some of the best commercials to be aired in 2011 and to watch two of the best football teams in the NFL. I too plan on watching the game this evening but as a Christian here are a [...]

Meet the Millennial Generation (part 2)

The mission of the church is the same from generation to generation. Thankfully, our marching orders haven’t changed since the day our Savior uttered them. Matthew 28:19-20  “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  Teaching them to observe [...]

Meet the Millennial Generation (part 1)

Statistics that give us a window into people’s mind and thoughts can be extremely helpful. One helpful study was recently published. While I am convinced that what our country needs is spirit-filled preaching accompanied by men who live holy lives, it is also helpful to understand the generation that we are seeking to reach because [...]

Haiti Hope

“Haiti” and “hope” are not words that seem to go together.  I have never been to Haiti and I cannot begin to imagine what it is like now.  I have a college friend that pastors a church in Haiti and our family is keeping them in prayer.  They have children about the same ages as my children and they [...]

Brit Hume/Tiger Woods Video

If you have not seen this video clip yet, it is worth watching.  Great advice that you rarely hear from the media.

A Word On Michael Jackson

There is only one word that I can think of to express the recent death of pop superstar Michael Jackson – sad.  So very, very sad.  There is a passage in Proverbs that is very fitting to apply to Michael Jackson’s life and death.  It is found in Proverbs 24:30-34 and describes Solomon’s entourage travelling [...]

I Agree! (with Bill Clinton?)

I know, I know. It took my breath away too. Please don’t take away my “conservative, card-carrying, pro-life, pro-Israel” credentials. Obviously it works well for a good headline, but there is a strand of truth that needs to be soberly considered. Recently former President Clinton said in a speech… … [to] an Arab-American audience of [...]
