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 [...]

Our God created us to bear fruit. He refers to this fruit as The Fruit of the Spirit. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit the Apostle Paul records for us in Galatians 5:22 what we would look like if we allowed this fruit to ripen in our lives (we would look like Christ). INTENTIONAL men of God know that we are [...]

Last week we began a conversation on our God being a PROVIDER; based on Psalm 23. This beautiful passage, penned by King David, demonstrates one of the reasons why David was referred to as "A man after God's own heart". We see in this Psalm a picture of the heart of David. His trust in [...]

I am sitting on my front porch in Tennessee thanking the Lord for His provision. Yes, it is hot and humid, but not nearly as hot as you folks have been. Not to rub it in, but I can still run my air conditioning because it is much less expensive to do so. We are [...]

Greetings from the Bible Belt. I hope and pray you had a wonderful 4th of July with family and friends celebrating all that is still good about America. We had a safe journey across this great country and enjoyed our own 4th with family. God certainly did shed His grace upon us. Take a moment [...]
