Can you still run like you did when you were young? Physically, my body says "No" but what about spiritually? Not running from God but running to Him. Today, I want to show you some passages featuring the word "flee" . 1 Corinthians 6:18–20 (ESV) — 18 Flee from sexual immorality . Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom

Suppose your friend asked you what people were saying about whether or not he would be the right person for the promotion? You might answer something like "Most people agree that you are ready" or "you may face some serious opposition from some of the other people in the office". Either way, you have answered the question based upon how you think other people will respond but what if your friend asked you "Do you think that I am the right person for the promotion?", now you a

January 10, 1999 was the day that the congregation of Rolling Fork Baptist Church voted to make me their pastor. Soon after I started preaching there each Sunday, I told them that I would like to offer our Sunday morning messages on cassette tapes to give away to anyone who missed that Sunday or that just wanted to hear that message. I mentioned it and our congregation took action. The funds needed to begin that ministry were donated that day and we began to record our sermon

Today, I am going to show you two perspectives from this idea and both of them are wrong. The first perspective will be from someone who is truly born again and is genuinely concerned about pleasing God. We know that we will sin from time to time because we were not paying attention or were unwilling to fight against the temptation. This person may think "I don't want to sin but if I do, it's ok because God will forgive me." The reason that I say that this is wrong is because

I have seen several examples this week that prove "Warning! Not All "Christians" Are Christians" is an accurate title for this post. You may think that I am being judgmental but I point you to the scriptures. In Matthew 7:16, Jesus, when describing the false prophets, said " You will recognize them by their fruits ." Then He said verses in 17-20 " So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a d

Last night, Chris Godbey was leading us through a passage in Proverbs and there was a section in that passage that really stood out to me. I hope that you will take the time to read this and see if you are guilty of it as well. Here is the good news of that section... Proverbs 1:23 (ESV) — 23 If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you . God was telling the Israelites to repent of their sins and turn back to God and i

Sometimes the Bible says that we are supposed to do something that seems difficult or appears to be the exact opposite of what we think we should do. Such is the case in this passage. Luke 5:1–11 (ESV) — 1 On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3 Getting into one of the boats, which was Sim
