I have been away from my computer over the last two weeks. We spent a week visiting friends and family in Dallas, Houston, and Lake Charles. I've been working with a friend from church this week. So my blogging time has been absent.
I hope to pick things up within the next two weeks or so.
Until then please stay tethered to God and His grace and by all means stay tethered to the gospel and live the gospel each day.
Please visit the links to the left and these brothers will help usher your soul to God in word.
God Bless!

Preached James 4.4-6 Tonight...
I preached James 4.4-6 tonight at church. After preaching this passage tonight, I read this quote from Francis Schaeffer on Ray Ortlund's blog. Very interesting...
“The Old Testament says that if God’s people turn away in spiritual adultery, it will not be long until the following generations are engaged in physical adultery, for the two things go hand in hand. . . . Our generation proves this with overwhelming force. Let there be spiritual adultery and it will not be long until physical adultery sprouts like toadstools in the land. In the 1930s liberalism took over almost all the churches in the United States, and in the 1960s our generation is sick with promiscuous sex. It is the same in Britain and other countries. These things are not unrelated; they are cause and effect.”
Francis A. Schaeffer, The Church at the End of the Twentieth Century (Downers Grove, 1970), pages 123-124.

Transformed & Transforming By The Power Of The Gospel
"Christ died for the impure sins of impure people so that we may live as new people testifying to the transforming power of the gospel."

You've Been Set Free...To Be Free!
“Telling a slave to be free is to add insult to injury. But telling a liberated slave to be free is an invitation to enjoy his new freedom and privilege.”
