Give us EARS to Hear

December 4, 2019 by Allen Nelson IV

I am wholeheartedly committed to the priority of the preaching of God’s Word in our regular church gatherings.  True, I am a pastor, so I guess by default I “have” to say that, but even apart from that role, there is a deep conviction running through me that the Word of God itself bears testimony […]

Time to Cut the 20 Minute Sermon

May 16, 2018 by Allen Nelson IV

Our pastor had recently left for another church and I was taking over a lot of the preaching duties in our local congregation. One afternoon the phone rang in my Youth Pastor’s study. The conversation went something like this: “Hello?” A lady from our church on the other line: “Yes, I want to talk to […]

A 9/11 Survivor Tells Her Story

September 11, 2001 is a day many people will never forget. My friend Angela Braxton was in one of the buildings that was crashed into that day and survived the tragedy.

At the time she nearly died from the events of 9/11, she was a non-believer abiding in the wrath of almighty God. But God has different plans for her.

Something to think about!

Arminian Hopelessness: STTA!

Something To Think About! The Arminian doctrine which denies the perseverance of the saints (in order that man’s “free-will” may remain sovereign and autonomous) is detestable to the people of God. A God who would hold you in His bosom against your own will is not a God that the unregenerate mind can worship. Free-willers and […]

Psalm 119:77-80 — May God Supply!

In the second half of the Yodh octave, we continue the series of supplications that David is making of the Lord. In Psalm 119:76, he refers to God’s promise of salvation and his desire for the comfort of God’s. The last four verses of that section build on that theme. God the Merciful Lawgiver Psalms […]

Psalm 119:85-88 — They Have Dug Pitfalls

Insolent Pitfalls! Psalms 119:85  The insolent have dug pitfalls for me; they do not live according to your law. There is a principle which plays out in the life of every true Christian. And that is the world will hate you because they hated your master, Jesus. The Father in Heaven will forgive all manner of sin, […]

No More Holding Back — Kat Armstrong (book review, part 2)

In part 1 of this review, we introduced Kat Armstrong’s No More Holding Back: Emboldening Women to Move Past Barriers, See Their Worth, and Serve God Everywhere. We primarily found that Armstrong advocates an over-realized soteriology of women which interprets Mary Magdalene to be the “second Eve,” thereby meaning that the curse of women being easily […]

Myths and Truths About Foster Care, part 2

In my last post, I went through some myths and truth about foster care and focused a bit on interpersonal issues. This time, I want to look at the big picture and talk a good bit about adoption. Throughout this series, I’ve tried to emphasize the great need for the church to be involved in […]
