Approximately ten days ago flooding of "near biblical proportions" occurred in Eastern Tennessee and North Carolina. Of course areas of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida are also suffering from the incredible damage left in the wake of Hurricane Helene. We feel very blessed to have been spared from any of the devastation where we live, but [...]

Most would agree that we live in a dark world at a dark time in human history; however, we also live during a time in history when the greatest source of light available to humankind is readily available. Matthew 4:16 says: "The people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the [...]

It is a sad commentary on the state of humankind that another attempt to murder President Trump has been met with so little concern by so many. Two months after the first attempt, we know next to nothing about the who, why, and how. If the powers that be have their way, the same will be true with [...]

Before we jump into our continuing conversation from last week concerning the value of our Christian Community in general and Life Groups in particular, I wanted to encourage you to download the new Church App (if you have not done so already). With the app, you can stay current with all that is happening at AGCC this […]

It is a lovely day in Tennessee. I have been enjoying a cup of coffee and watching about a dozen hummingbirds that have discovered our front porch feeders. They are incredible creatures, playful, without fear of our presence, and were certainly designed to thrive within their community. As I was observing the antics of these […]

Happy Labor Day. I trust you will take advantage of this day and rest. Perhaps you are concluding a nice long weekend. In 1894 President Grover Cleveland signed into law a day to celebrate all those who work for a living. God created us to work, to cultivate "the garden" and when we do we [...]

Last week we began a discussion on the importance of having an ever maturing Worldview based upon the Word of God. In these days in which we find ourselves, we know that the Lord's Return is imminent; we can not ignore the signs. As the Lord provides daily opportunities for us to provide comfort to [...]

Good Morning from Decatur Tennessee. If you ever find yourself in this part of the country we would love to provide a little room and board. An Apologist is one who can articulate the following: 1. What they believe 2. Why they believe it 3. Can defend said belief within the Market Place of Ideas. Everyone develops [...]

Last week we began to unpack a bullet point Biblical Worldview apologetic specific to the forthcoming election season. It is critical that we are always ready to articulate a reason for the Hope that is in us (1 Peter 3:15). A Biblical apologetic that is clearly in partnership with our Worldview is inclusive of clearly demonstrating that our Hope is [...]

We just returned yesterday from our time in California with our AGCC family. We feel greatly loved and truly humbled by the experience. As I reflect upon the twelve years of ministry at Auburn Grace, I KNOW just how unique the environment is; the opportunity to work in such a community was incredibly fulfilling and the highlight of 42 years [...]
