Saying “No” for a Reason
There is an old principle that I have heard, I suppose, for my entire life, but it has never really sunk in until recently. Or, maybe, to put it a better way, I knew the principle but did not live it out in practice. I’ll share what that principle is in a moment. But, first, a couple of personal anecdotes that provide the backdrop to this article. I was asked a short time ago to take part in something I had done before. Most wouldn’t consider it a big thing, and it would have probably only taken a couple of hours each week on average (something like that, anyway). It…

Behind Every Door
Some who read this will know that my family and I lived in Dexter, Missouri for eleven years. During those eleven years it was my privilege to preach for the church of Christ there, it was also my honor to work with one of the finest men I have ever known.

Dale was supported by the church…
