Back Soon…

Hello friends:

Just a quick note to let you know that I’m not going to be blogging this week. In the wee hours of tomorrow morning I’ll be on my way from Louisiana to Anaheim, California, where I’ll be serving as a messenger from my church to the Southern Baptist Convention.

If you’re attending the Convention, I’d love to meet you. Please feel free to come up and say hi if you see me. I’m also going to try to do a few pop-up meet and greets when I have a few minutes to spare, so keep an eye on my Facebook and Twitter feeds for spur of the moment announcements about where to meet me.

If you’re staying home and need some good content to keep you busy, we’ve got a new episode of A Word Fitly Spoken dropping this week that I think you and your church will find helpful and encouraging, so be sure to catch that.

You can also go “archive diving” here on the blog, and see what you find that’s of interest. Check out the tabs in the blue menu bar at the top of this page, type something into the search bar, or go to the category cloud (in the right sidebar on your computer, or at the bottom of the blog on your phone or tablet) and start clicking away.

If you think about it this week, please pray for me and for the entire SBC. This year’s Convention will be pivotal in many ways. It is my prayer that all of us who are attending will humble ourselves, uphold and submit to the authority rightly-handled Scripture, and seek to glorify God in all we think, say, and do.

See you soon!

A bit of spring cleaning…

It’s been a bit of a week, and I needed to get some things done around the blog, so I spent yesterday tidying up a few things…

On my Speaking Engagements page…

I added an FAQ link for my conference organizers (and anybody who wants to know what I like for breakfast or what kind of microphone I prefer when I speak, I guess). And if you’d like to be a conference organizer, there’s lots of other great info there as well for scheduling me to speak, how to organize a conference on a small budget, etc.

I also added a new conference for April 2023 in Greenwich, Ohio. Not many details yet, but if you’re in the area, you’ll want to check that one out.

At the Popular False Teachers & Unbiblical Trends tab, I added links for a bunch of teachers and ministries that I (and in a couple of cases, others) have written or podcasted about in the past, but hadn’t yet filed up there in my “filing cabinet” where you can have easy access to them. Go check it out! (And if you know of a teacher / ministry / unbiblical trend I have written/podcasted about that I’ve forgotten to list, comment below and let me know so I can add a link.)

That’s it. No big whoop. :0)

The Word on Wednesdays

Hi ladies! I hope you’re looking forward to our next new Bible study as much as I am. I’m in the middle of my second time through the text we’ll be studying, and I can hardly wait to introduce it to you! I think you’ll enjoy it and that it will edify you as you seek to grow in Christ and His Word. (The picture above does not mean we will be studying James. :0) Stay tuned to start soon, and keep an eye on the blog on Wednesdays.

In the meantime, I’ll be posting some Bible study articles and lessons from the archives that I think you’ll find helpful as we make our way toward our next study. (This week’s lesson is actually not from the archives, it’s new, but the Wednesday’s Word study {see below} it’s now part of is from the archives. Apparently, when I originally wrote the WW series, I took a break somewhere in the middle to write my Bible study on the book of 1 John, and I never went back and wrote a stand alone lesson from 1 John for the WW series. So I’ve remedied that with the lesson published today. Clear as mud, right? :0)

Here is this week’s lesson:

Wednesday’s Word

Wednesday is Bible study day here on the blog. In my Wednesday’s Word Bible study series you’ll find miscellaneous, one lesson Bible studies from each book of the Bible. One chapter of Scripture followed by study questions. This sampler series demonstrates that there’s nothing to be afraid of when approaching those “lesser known” books and that every book of the Bible is valuable and worth studying.

Wednesday’s Word ~ 1 John 4

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already…Continue reading..

I’ll be taking a break for a few more weeks getting ready for our new study. I hope you’ll enjoy it and that it will edify you as you seek to grow in Christ and His Word. (The picture above does not mean we will be studying James. :0) Stay tuned, and keep an eye on the blog on Wednesdays.

Wednesday’s Word ~ Habakkuk 2

I will take my stand at my watchpost
    and station myself on the tower,
and look out to see what he will say to me,
    and what I will answer concerning my complaint.

And the Lord answered me… Continue Reading…
