The Desires of the Mind

Preacher Dad — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 19:28:48 +0000

Eph. 2:3 – “…among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind…” (ESV, emphasis added) What would you say are the desires of the mind? We all pretty much understand the desires of the body, or “flesh” in the KJV. (Or at […]

Fighting Condemnation

Preacher Dad — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 21:34:33 +0000

One of the most difficult and prevalent challenges facing the 21st century Christian is fighting condemnation. Sometimes confused with judgement, condemnation is something that we often do to ourselves, and sometimes cast at others. The former is, in my view, more common. Let me share some Scriptural truth with you on the matter. John 3:17-20 […]

“For such a time as this”

Preacher Dad — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 16:31:07 +0000

What is a Christian's duty in government? Influencing and even guiding governments to be more righteous, wise, or otherwise beneficial to the whole of a given society is an honorable pursuit for any Believer. To borrow a phrase from the Pledge of Allegiance, to preserve “liberty and justice for all” is certainly a good work which would please God.

A Story about Christian Love…

Preacher Dad — Thu, 19 Nov 2015 16:52:31 +0000

So I was sitting in my living room the other night, enjoying a hot drink and watching my children play on the floor while my wife was reading a book, when I heard a knock on the door. I rose to answer the door, even though it is unusual to have visitors unannounced late in […]

S.H.I.E.L.D. – for real!

Preacher Dad — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 02:07:42 +0000

This is remarkable. Not only is the Congress finally getting busy on something important (not that I expect much from them you understand), someone up there actually thought to call it “The Shield Act”. 🙂 “SHIELD”, as in, the top secret government program of “Avengers” fame. Now our government actually, really, in real life, has […]

Isaiah 59 – Part 1

Preacher Dad — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:49:19 +0000

Friends, if we want our Father in heaven to heal our land, repentance comes first. "If my people...will humble themselves...and turn from their wicked ways...then I will hear from heaven and heal their land." (2 Chr. 7:14) This is not earning grace or favor from God, or even earning deliverance. That is because repentance is not a work. It is giving up. Simply admitting that God is right, and I am wrong. It is forsaking sin and turning to him. That is not a work of our flesh, it is the work of the Holy Spirit.
But you might say, "Hey preacher, that is right! Everyone else needs to turn back to God. But I am a Christian, and I love the Lord. Surely I don't need repentance. I'm doing pretty well. I'm not as bad as some. I'm better than most." My dear Christian friends, who are called by the name of Christ, we need to take a good hard look at our own lives and see how we are contributing to the overall apostasy of the Church. Let's continue...

A Leader God Honors – Part 3

Preacher Dad — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:28:59 +0000

And the conclusion of a lengthy sermon. Yeah, I don’t think this one qualifies as a “sermonette”. A little too long for that. :o) Application to Men So how do we apply these lessons in our lives today? How does a man living in this day and age put into practice these principles illustrated in […]

A Leader God Honors – Part 2

Preacher Dad — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 20:20:46 +0000

God wrought a mighty victory through Jonathan and his armor bearer that day. For a young man in his twenties and his armor bearer to kill twenty hardened soldiers by themselves is an amazing feat all by itself. But then the Lord brought a great earthquake and noise, and ultimately Israel routed the Philistines in a mighty victory. God even blessed the fearful Israelites and the disobedient Saul through Jonathan's courage and faith.

King Saul serves as an example of failure in leadership. This is helpful to us because sometimes being a success means knowing what behaviors to avoid.
