Lessons from Jack
My son, Jackson, just recently crossed the one-year mark. What an exciting, exhausting, and informative year it has been! It is safe to say his mother and I have learned much from watching our first child grow…
Because He Lives
This weekend, we will celebrate Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday. Unfortunately, the world and false religions have distorted the truths surrounding this event. Satan loves when biblical facts become twisted into falsehoods to deceive and confuse the lost. It is vital that we, as the saved, understand the truths of what was done for mankind by Jesus, from the Cross to the empty tomb. For this week’s One More Thing…, here are a few things to consider as we remember and celebrate this Resurrection Sunday:
The Career Grand Slam
While I enjoyed watching golf recently, I considered the following question: How many Christians have won not just a “Major tournament” but have completed a “career Grand Slam?” This may sound like an odd question, but let me explain the context…

His lifeless body—enrobed in blue jeans, a sweatshirt, and tennis shoes—is currently on display in a shrine at a Catholic church in Italy…
Even If You Stand Alone
This week’s newsletter has quite a few “One More Things” in it. I feel as though our American history has so many connections from story to story. When we are willing to look, we can learn some vital lessons from our patriot forebearers.
Should Eagles Listen to Chickens?
There will always be voices—some loud, some subtle—trying to shape your direction. In a world full of opinions, it is easy to be pulled in a hundred different ways. If you are not careful, you can find yourself listening to the wrong people and drifting…
Grace and Peace Be Multiplied
Great things are happening at the Immanuel Baptist Church! As we put an emphasis on “going and growing,” it is evident that the Holy Spirit is working through the faithfulness of His people. We are reminded on a daily basis that this world is in need of the Gospel…
