I watched a lot of the confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett. Whatever a person might believe about the politics, it isn’t difficult to believe in the person. I often say that “the loudest sermon a person will ever preach is heard through his or her life.” Last week during the confirmation hearings, the […]
My dad often traveled for his work. My sisters and I were always excited to go to the airport and pick him up. Those were the days, before 9/11, when we could enter an airport and walk to the gate to wait. My sisters and I would look out the airport windows and try to […]
I was almost finished with a blog post when I decided to take a break and check my email. I was surprised to see holiday ads this early. After looking over that day’s selection of stuff I don’t need, I came back to my blog post. I reread it and realized it would never be […]
I was always taught that we aren’t supposed to wish away time. But, in all honesty, I’ve been wishing away October 2020. I’m already constantly using the mute button on my television remote. My next move is the off button. I don’t write a political persuasion blog. Sometimes I want to. I have strong values […]
People used to make jokes about the Dallas Cowboys being “God’s team,” but it’s really “Jerry’s hobby.” I’d like to say that everyone would say last Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys game was incredible. But, we used to pastor in Atlanta, and I’m sure there are a lot of our friends there who would disagree. So, let’s […]
Two events you should know about The Bible study, Foundations of Faith, begins this week. You may view the teaching video here: https://www.janetdenisonbiblestudy.com/. Tomorrow is North Texas Giving Day. Denison Ministries is a donor-based ministry, and your gift would be a blessing to our work. You can give now or tomorrow, and we will use […]
Do you remember when Christians were occasionally accused of having a “holier-than-thou” attitude? Holiness became something we thought we were supposed to avoid in order to make others feel better about themselves. Sadly, holiness is our calling and our great gift. To start with, what is holiness? Most of our discomfort with the word can […]
It’s hard to believe that this coming weekend will mark the “end” of summer 2020. Well, at least officially on the calendar. For those of us who live in Texas, the end of summer is usually sometime around Halloween! So, with another unusual holiday approaching, I want to suggest a great addition to your Labor […]
I began this summer discouraged about the fall, but now I’m excited to see what the Lord has planned. I’ve been teaching Bible study for almost thirty years and this is a first: I’m combining my local Bible studies this year into one virtual format and inviting all of you to join us. We realized […]
I was cruising through Facebook the other day, enjoying the many “I just left my child at college” posts. Then I ran across an ad for a T-shirt that made me grin. Etsy is selling a T-shirt with the Texas flag emblazoned on the back with the words “Don’t California my Texas.” I grinned because […]
