I must confess that computer-generated action hero movies are not my cup of tea. I’ve watched a few, trying to figure out what all the hoopla is about. Alas, it seems that I’m just too old to “get it.”
Luckily, I have found a new Netflix series that is somewhat intriguing called Criminal: UK. The premise is simple: trained interrogators use every trick in the book to coax their suspects into a…

"Pass the Bread, Please"
“Pass the Bread, Please”
From 1984 to 1989, I lived in Brownwood, Texas. Brownwood is famous for two things: football coach Gordon Wood and Underwood’s Bar-B-Que. Many Sundays after church, folks would head to Underwood’s. Now, their barbeque is not good. But their sides were to die for, especially Mama Underwood’s fresh hot rolls.
Any time a fresh batch of rolls came out of the oven, a designated employee went around to…

Accepting God's Call
Accepting God’s Call
I wish I had a dollar for every time someone saw me sweeping up after potluck and said, “Hey preacher, I believe you finally found your calling!” Some Sundays encouragement is in short supply. But they do have a point, don’t they? We are called by God to be and do. And most of the time, it’s not that we don’t hear God’s call, but that we refuse God’s call.
This week, we will continue our study of…

Attitudes of the Heart
Attitudes of the Heart
Back in the day when I worked for the big radio network in Los Angeles, I officed next to a wonderful Christian man named Andy. Andy and I got along great and often talked about matters of the Christian faith. But shortly after I arrived at the network, Andy’s wife asked him for a divorce. She had met someone else, they had fallen in love, and she wanted out. It was a very bitter divorce. As Andy…

A Well-Spring of Justice
It’s interesting how much we preach against the sins of which we are not guilty. We consider them BIG sins—adultery, murder, homosexuality. As long as the preacher preaches against sins of which I’m not guilty, I can sit comfortably in the pew and shout “Amen!”
But when the preacher starts in on MY sins, I get uncomfortable in a hurry. I squirm in my seat and wonder if everyone in the room is…

King Jesus: The Final Word
King Jesus: The Final Word
Starting this Sunday, we are suspending our discipleship series for the summer. On June 2, we will begin a series of “stand-alone” sermons in support of our Wednesday night Bible class.
This Sunday morning’s sermon will be a “teaser” for the Sunday morning Bible Class series (which also begins June 2) entitled “Left, Right, and Christ.” As you’ve noticed, I don’t typically preach about social and…

Trash? Or Treasure?
Matthew 13 contains the third of five sermons from Jesus in this gospel. In this sermon, Jesus teaches eight parables about the Kingdom of the Heavens. Last week, we tackled the first parable, the Parable of the Soils. This Sunday, we will tackle the other seven.
The last parable of chapter 13 is a rarely-studied parable—probably because it is somewhat strange and ambiguous. Jesus asks the…

Seeing, Hearing, Knowing ... and Longing for More
Seeing, Hearing, Knowing … and Longing for More
For me, knowledge is often like managing a sheet-cake sized serving of Jell-O. It’s hard to get a good handle on it. I think I have it under control, only to find it oozing through my fingers. In other words, the more I know … the more I realize that I don’t know much at all.
I used to think that I had a pretty good handle on the teachings of Jesus. But for about the last 20 years, when I study…

Move-In Ready
Back in the early 1960’s, it seems that everybody smoked cigarettes. Smoking was thought to be a harmless activity that was somehow sexy and cool. But as the research trickled in, we discovered that cigarette smoke was anything but harmless. It was a known cause of lung cancer. I remember the fuss over the government-imposed warning labels that were added to each pack.
My dad smoked up until…
