For AG Washburn, the call of God to go was just that: one to go. He surrendered to ministry later in life after a career in the military and then as a lawyer.  But in the 1890's while in his 40's he finally listened to God's call on his life.  After pastoring some in western […]

We know that feeling of testing the limits and finding out who is really in charge. But when it comes to the Christian life we push limits all the time, thinking that we are in control of our life, our family, or the church. But today's scripture reveals that Jesus has all the authority, and […]

You might know that there is a word for different types of groups of animals. Some are familiar to us. A bunch of cows are a herd. Some are less familiar. A collection of owls is a parliament. A herd of rhinos is called a crash. Whales are a pod, a collection of gerbils is […]

Why should you be part of a church? In the book of 1 Peter we are told that every Christian has a special place in the family of God. We are placed by Christ, we are precious in Christ, and we are only have two options in responding to Christ. Sunday Morning Worship at FBC […]

Charles Coulson was 38 when he joined the Nixon white house as a special counsel. He became known as someone who would do anything and everything to advance his side.  Nixon himself said that he made him the “political point man” for “imagintive dirty tricks.” That’s how he wound up in prison after the fallout […]

Have you ever been to Hitchita Oklahoma?  You probably haven’t.  I never had when a friend invited me to preach my first real sermon there.  So we drove out to Hitchita.  We drove, and drove, and drove.  It sits right in between Grayson and Elm Grove if that helps.  If that doesn’t it’s right between […]

On New Years Eve 1961 WA Criswell stood up to preach.  That in itself wasn’t unusual. Criswell served as pastor of FBC Dallas for 50 years, preaching thousands of sermons both there and all over the world. But on this night he started preaching about 7:30 pm and preached all through the night until New […]

Beginning on September 7, 1940, and for a total of 57 consecutive nights, London was bombed.  What came to be called the Blitz caused lots of damage in London and surrounding areas.  During World War 2 the Luftwaffe Air Forces of Germany were wreaking havoc on the allied forces, and US and others were desperate […]

If you travel to the Himalayas, way north in India, you’ll find the Gangotri Glacier. It’s one of the larges in the Himalayas. It’s solid ice, 19 miles long and almost 2 miles wide.  The end of that glacier is a place called Gomukh. From there the river Bhagirathi flows, and as it flows it’s […]

Luke 3:15-22 Nobody had ever seen anyone like him.  They didn’t know what to do with him.  Some saw him as a just a novel curiosity.  Something to be amused at. Others just thought him crazy.  Who would talk like that, eat like that, dress like that?  Most people go out of their way to […]

I know two words that can strike fear and dread in most people: Waiting room. Nobody likes to wait.  Doesn’t matter where it is, at the doctors office, at work, at school, at home. We spend our lives hurrying from one appointment to another, just so someone can tell us “Please have a seat they […]

The Fall Genesis 3 420 feet.  About 40 stories.  That’s how tall the Top Thrill Dragster was when it opened in 2003.  It was the tallest roller coaster in the world.  But it wasn’t just tall, it was fast. The fastest in the world.  Instead of climbing up a steep incline to start like most […]

Genesis 1:1-3 Not all stories are created equally.  Any good newsman would know that. So when this man pitched a new show to his employer, they were all for it.  Beginning in the 1970’s his broadcast went out six days a week for more than 30 years.  Each week he told a familiar story, and […]

I Corinthians 12 Nose and Hand were sitting in the church pew talking. The morning service, led by Ear and Mouth, had just ended, and Hand was telling Nose that he and his family had decided to look for a different church. “Really?” Nose responded to Hand’s news. “Why?” “Oh, I don’t know,” Hand said, […]
