If you died tonight, would you know without any doubt, that you would be in Heaven? You are not saved by going to church. You are not saved by being a part of a certain denomination. You are not saved because you hold an office in the church. You are not saved by works.…
You watch a preacher long enough, he will disappoint you. You attend a church long enough, it will let you down in some way. You serve in a ministry for some time, you will get hurt. All of these are true but it does not mean you quit, get bitter or leave. It does mean…
My son, Jake, loves preachers. 💪🏻 Honestly… Rebecca and I have tried to protect our kids from the politics and stupidity in the pulpit and just love men who love the Word. Tonight he went with our young adults to Anderson, SC, and heard one of the best.
The longer I pastor, the less concerned I am with anything beyond tending to my own holiness, my marriage and family, and the steady-state work of shepherding the flock. When I was younger my aspirations were wider. Turns out, “faithfulness in the little” is actually the biggest…

WE’RE GOING HOME! 🙌 No rehab. No ICU. Just HOME. God answered. Faith deepened. Grace sustained. To our doctors, nurses, family, friends—thank you. We won’t forget the miracle. God did what only He can do. To Him be the glory. #DontForgetTheMiracle
Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on…
Lots of travels this week to several different states to preach to teens but over 400 teens heard the Word preached and 12 believed the gospel for salvation! God is good! 🙌🏻
We’re at the 48-hour mark—thankful God has sustained Lawson’s life. He’s showing signs of little progress, and we’re praising God for every miracle. Still sedated, still critical, but hopeful. Thank you for every prayer, call, and visit. More details on Facebook #PrayForLawson
Praise the Lord! Aaron and Julia trusted Christ for salvation tonight during the youth meeting where I am preaching in Georgia. Rejoice with us!
