Exodus 13:14, “So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall say to him, by strength of hand, the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.” “Blessed Assurance,” sometimes referred to as “This Is My Story,” is one…
Actually, we don’t, but we used to. I remember when paneling on the walls was seen as a step up from sheetrock. It’s funny how things run in a cycle. Nowadays, almost everyone has removed the paneling and gone back to sheetrock. What goes around comes around. When the Jews were first freed from…
Daniel 4:29-30, “As Nebuchadnezzar was walking about the royal palace of Babylon, he said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?” There may not be a better example of pride in the Bible than the two verses…
1 Corinthians 10:13, “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” If there…
I love history, and through the years, I have watched numerous documentaries on various subjects. World War II presents us with unimaginable horrors.

Romans 10:13, “For whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.” This verse is among those that are often referred to as the Roman Road of Salvation. It is a powerful verse that shows that everyone can be saved. But the Bible draws a distinction between those who merely call Him…
Psalms 33:9, “God spoke, and it was done.” Some versions read, “God spoke, and it came to be.” My dad was gifted in many ways. Among them, he was a skilled carpenter. Some of his handiwork can still be seen in the churches at Braswell and Union Point that he remodeled when he was…
I’ve never understood what would possess a person to think they have been given inside information about the return of the Lord, when the Bible clearly states that no man knows the day or the hour. I do understand that we all want to know. There are many interpretations of some of the Bible’s…
