Well done is better than well said.
Most people that are followers of Christ do a great job o saying the right thing. A lot of us know how to play the part and know our lines.
When something bad happens, we say, “All we can do is pray.” When something goes right, we say [...]

Hi Church and greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
Is it just me or does it seem like nearly everything we undertake in life today is complicated? It’s been like this for a while, hasn’t it? Remember the old VCR’s that were programmable, many still use them and do so successfully…for [...]

The other day I observed a woman at Lowes (grocery store) with what I would guess was a three year old girl in her grocery cart. As they passed the cookie section, the child asked for cookies and her mother told her “no.” The little girl immediately began to whine and fuss, and the [...]

A couple of weeks ago my family went through the drive-thru of our favorite chicken restaurant on the way home from the beach. As a pastor’s family, we try to eat as much chicken as possible and rarely have any leftovers.
As we were approaching our home we saw a man on the side of [...]

Hi Church!!
Last Sunday was the unofficial beginning of summer and is historically one of the least well attended Sunday church services. As such, I know a lot of folks weren’t there…like most of my family . You have to admit the beach and the mountains and all the totally neat stuff we [...]

The church’s youth were having a yard sale at a vacant gas station in town to help raise money for their mission trip to Jamaica and I, among others, were going dropping off items for the sale all week in preparation for it.
I drove there one evening for what I thought would be a short [...]

“Do everything without complaining or arguing” (Phil 2:14, NIV)
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.

Byron never felt like he belonged. His family attended a near by church where I served in Henderson, NC and I came to know his family well. He was pleasant enough but he looked a bit different and sometimes seemed unusual to his eight-year-old classmates. There was a reason. Byron was born with Downs [...]
