Allen Webster, who is quite widely known as the editor of House to House/Heart to Heart has brought together a great study. One series of tracts published by HTH is on the subject of the seven things God hates, listed in Proverbs 6. Now, much of the material from those tracts has been placed into book form. Make no mistake, though; even though based upon tracts, there is “meat” in this book. Written in 13 chapters, Webster makes very modern-day, practical applications of each of the “seven.” In fact, when it comes to “hands that shed innocent blood,” three chapters are filled with information. As you might expect, two of…

Now that we are somewhat settled, I hope you have noticed that our blog is being updated more often. I am trying to update the blog at least 2-3 times each week with articles and family updates. Also, it is time (insert royal trumpet blast here) for the return of the Friday Links Roundup! This will, again, be a regular feature. Let me again say how much I appreciate those who blog. I have about 40-45 blogs in my feed reader. Some are rarely updates, but some write daily. Admittedly, I don’t read every single word of every blog, but it is still a great resource to fill my mind…

Now that I have a cool phone, I am beginning to compile a list of podcasts to which I listen. I listen in the car (which is quite a bit with visits to make and a 12-15 minute drive to my study), and some at night while I’m getting ready for bed. I even listened yesterday while mowing the yard. Trying to find good podcasts is a fun search. Right now, I basically have two categories: (1) podcasts of sermons by authors I enjoy (e.g., Charles Swindoll), and (2) short podcasts on certain topics I need to brush up on (e.g., The Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips). I also…

The Song of Solomon might be the most unique book found in the Bible. Not just the content of the book, but also the way it is presented make this a unique and thrilling read. Due to those same factors, though, the book is often misunderstood or simply confusing. Greg Neill has written a brief study of this book designed to walk the reader through the major sections of Solomon’s poem. Subtitled “God’s Guidebook to Happily Ever After,” Song of Solomon is written for an adult study of the Bible; whether it is a Bible class or an individual study. Published by Peaceful House, Song of Solomon, in my opinion,…

We don’t post things like this often, but this absolutely frightens both Leah and me. Please watch this carefully. New Age philosophy is more pervasive than many of us think. This isn’t the only case of it in pop culture, but this video should serve as a wake-up call for many who think it isn’t affecting our society’s thoughts at all.

Just a quick note that the website for the Lebanon Road church of Christ has been added to the blogroll on the right. It is my understanding that some great things are in store in the near future for the site; including updated pictures–and maybe some new features. I’ll try to keep you updated here with major changes, as well. Here’s the site: http://www.lebanonroadchurchofchrist.org/

Another great Sunday! We had 322 in attendance, and 286 were present for Bible class. Those numbers are down just a bit, but they are still quite good. We had many visitors on our first Sunday, so it wasn’t a big shock that our attendance was down some, but we aren’t going to rest on our laurels! We are going to work and grow here at Lebanon Road. It was a joy to begin teaching a Bible class. I am teaching the “Young” Adults (35-50) in the fellowship hall. We are taking a look at Nehemiah under the title “A Mind to Work.” Our goal in the class is to…

Now that I finally have internet again (on a computer…I’ve been “interneting” from my phone for over a week), I thought I’d share some pictures of the move. First, just to show that moving is hard, here are the kids on the way from Haleyville to Nashville: Next, here’s a picture of us on the front porch of our new house in Hermitage: Finally, a couple of pictures of the Lebanon Road building: We are truly enjoying things here, and we hope things continue to go well. (Friday links roundup should resume next week.)

What a great first Sunday! It has been awhile since I posted anything, but we have been busy (and a little out of the “tech loop”). We are now safely in Nasville, working with the Lebanon Road church of Christ. God blessed us with almost seven years in Haleyville. We will be eternally grateful for our time with the good 9th Avenue church. Now, God has blessed us with another good congregation with which to worship and work. Lebanon Road sure knows how to say, “Hello.” On Sunday https://www.nettcasinos.org/casino-anmeldelser, our attendance was 357, and 289 were present for Bible classes. That is a great starting point, but we pray that…
