Publix: Where Shopping is … Less Tempting
Leah loves Publix. I can’t tell you how many times she has praised the friendliness of the staff and the high quality of food there. In reality, the only thing that keeps Publix from being her only stop in grocery shopping is price. While their prices are competitive and they run good sales, she can get some items more cheaply from other stores. However, I want to praise Publix for something else today. In their checkout aisles, I have noticed that certain magazines are covered by a plastic shield. The magazines (including Cosmopolitan and similar periodicals) are the ones that usually “feature” immodest cover models and racy features. For some time,…

Friday Links Roundup: Time with Daddy Edition
Our ladies are having their annual retreat this weekend. That means I get the kids all to myself for the weekend, from this afternoon through Sunday afternoon. (Yes, I will need your prayers!) I am looking forward to the time with the kids, and I hope we grow closer together by our time. I love my kids, and time with them is very precious. While being with them alone is hard work (just ask Leah, since she does it all the time), it is worth the effort and time. We’re going out tonight, and will hopefully have a little time at home tomorrow to play and laugh. ……oh, and to…

The subject matter is obviously very strong, but we felt this was a needed topic to discuss.] ———————————————————- Today’s list seeks to tackle a very sensitive but important subject.

With the continued growth of the Internet, pornography of any sort is readily available to anyone with just the click of a mouse. It is easy to say, “Pornography is sinful.” However, I want us to think about…

Friday Links Roundup: LONG Day Edition
Today is one of those days that started early and will end late, but that will be filled with great things. I got up at 3:10 this morning to take two preachers to the airport, as they are leaving on a mission trip. So, by 4:15 I was in my office. I took that opportunity (with no distractions) to get some studying and writing done. At 10AM, Dale Jenkins and I will be recording the next episode of iPreach. We are interviewing the three new Bible teachers at Freed-Hardeman: Doug Burleson, Justin Rodgers, and Kirk Brothers. Also Dr. Billy Smith is scheduled to join us. I hope you will listen…

Friday Links Roundup: “Live from Henderson, It’s iPreach!” Edition
For about 18 months, Dale Jenkins and I have cohosted iPreach, the podcast for preachers. We have done about 65 episodes covering many topics to help ministers in their work. Our estimates now are that about 200 people listen to most programs, either live, via the talkshoe.com website, or through iTunes. One thing we have never done, though, is recorded by together! We have never been in the same room when recording the program. Lord willing, that will all change Tuesday night. Freed-Hardeman has granted us the ability to do a live version of iPreach from the FHU Student Center! We will begin about 8:45 Tuesday night, and anyone and…
