In Part I of Thou Shalt Be Faithful and Prompt, we uncovered the slack, care-free, and selfish lifestyle that has been developed in the life of those that are chronically absent and tardy. Here in this follow-up article, let’s deal with how to overcome this lifestyle.
1. Overcoming this character flaw requires admittance of [...]

Proverbs 20:6 states, “Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?“ My kids, my wife, the long drive, something came up, we got “sick,” etc….These are just a few of the scores of excuses that are used by those that are chronically late or absent. [...]

I came across this article at www.persecution.com. This video had a major impact on me. We take our freedom for granted. These people disobey their laws in order to gather together as a church; we can’t get Americans to show up for Bible classes and church services. Do not take the [...]

Calvinism is sweeping the globe at a rapid pace. While it’s definitely not a fresh, new issue, it seems to have been given a resurrection within the last ten years.

Committed to the Cause is the theme of this year’s fall program at Liberty Baptist Church. God allowed me the privilege of heading up this program for my dad. Many challenges presented themselves after the original planning meeting back in May. One of the main challenges was to promote an excellent program within [...]

As my mind is flooded with gift possibilities for my dad on this Father’s Day (a tie, a tie, or a gift card….for a tie), I cannot prevent the thoughts of those less-fortunate than I. Scores of children have not had the privilege of growing up in the home of their birth father as [...]

Each year around this time, our ministries here at Liberty take great pride in seeing the successes of the year. This year, we graduate 22 seniors in the Class of ‘09…15 from our church. What a great group of kids.
As I ponder the different directions these young people will take, I [...]

As we went over in Part 1 of Parental Monitoring, technology is here to stay. It has taken the world, and especially the Christian home, by storm. Once again, let me say that I am not against technology. In fact, just today I was online for quite a while tweeting and responding [...]
