The Way God Works In Your Life

What America Needs Most from You and the Church

Happy 250th Anniversary to our great United States of America. As we celebrate today and throughout this year in America, we are marking 250 years since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.  This is why I want to share our 100th podcast episode with you on the 250th Anniversary of America. My topic on our 100th podcast episode is the following: WHAT AMERICA NEEDS MOST FROM YOU AND THE CHURCH. I am very excited to share about this subject today because this podcast calls each of us to be all that God wants us to be as followers of Christ and as Americans.  Less than one week ago, I preached about this subject, and I wanted to share it with you now. Listen, consider what is said, and let all of us act upon it in the right way. Here we go. Podcast 100: WHAT AMERICA NEEDS MOST FROM YOU AND THE CHURCH.

Where Are You? Assessing Your 1st 6-Months of 2026

We have had a strong and encouraging response to last week’s podcast, WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE. If you missed it, please listen to it soon and share it with others. People really do want to have a more positive attitude. Let’s share it with many people so each of us can have a chance to experience a positive change in attitude.  How is your week going? Last week, I spent all of Tuesday and much of Tuesday night in Fort Smith, Arkansas, assisting the Grand Avenue Baptist Church. It was a very productive day, and we are seeing some good things happen. As some of you know, I am assisting this church by preaching on most Sundays when not scheduled elsewhere, and I am also giving time to help provide leadership for their church each week. So, I spend most Tuesdays in Fort Smith from morning through the early evening meetings. Please pray for us. Pray for them to get a pastor soon.

What You Need To Know To Change Your Attitude

In life, it is quite easy to develop a poor attitude. Spending your life online will give you a poor attitude. Listening to nothing but news programs will strain your attitude. Developing a skeptical mindset, a critical spirit, and a cynical, sarcastic tone will sink your attitude into the abyss of a bad attitude. This will lead you to carry the weight of the world on your back and to develop the habit of blaming others for everything in life. Then all of a sudden, you adopt a victim mentality: Everyone is beating you up. God has a better way.

7 Takeaways from the 2026 Southern Baptist Convention

Today, I am going to really do a 180 on you, because I am going to talk to you today about some 7 TAKEAWAYS FROM THE 2026 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION.

Summer Is A Time To Grow Personally

The summer season is completely different from the other seasons of the year. At times, it seems summer slows life down, so you can breathe, take some personal time, and renew yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. At the same time, summer can be very busy, filled with extra activities, days of travel, and perhaps even many different experiences. Parents with kids at home still have to navigate personal schedules, plus camps, perhaps Vacation Bible School, and other special opportunities children are afforded today.
