Today — Thanksgiving Day –we can thank God for the intangibles: Joy, Faith, Hope, Love. One of my favorite places in the world is Notre Dame in Paris, which, to me, is much more beautiful on the outside than on the inside. The interior is dim and lined with never-ending tourists. Bu...

In the providence of God, in the very year I began pastoring The Donelson Fellowship, Dr. W. A. Criswell published a book called Criswell’s Guidebook for Pastors. That red-jacketed book had a formative effect on me and my work. ...

When I was starting out in pastoral work, I looked upto Dr. W. A. Criswell, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, as a model. Criswell was in a class by himself. He’d been the leading pastor among Southern Baptists for over fifty years, and he was known for his exposition of Scripture. ...

In Sunday’s sermon at TDF, we’re coming to Psalm 23:5, which says: “You anoint my head with oil.” Here’s an excerpt. For the whole message, click here: One day when I was checking on our sheep, I was alarmed to find that the horse had taken a serious bite out of Ethel’s ear. I didn’t s...

The next time you think you have an excuse why God can’t use you, consider the following: Noah was a drunkard, Abraham was too old, Isaac was a daydreamer, Jacob was a liar, Leah was ugly, Joseph was abused, Moses was a murderer, Gideon was afraid, Samson had long hair, Rahab was a prostitute, T...

When I got up this morning, I faced a deadline on a major article for the Billy Graham Association; and to be honest, I hadn’t even started it. It had to be done today. Desperate measures were required. ...

Today’s sermon at The Donelson Fellowship is from Psalm 23:4, where we find the name of an intriguing slice of geography – The Valley of the Shadow of Death. Think about that title. It is not the Valley of Death — not Death Valley. There’s a Death Valley in California, but not in Psalm 23. In bib...

I’ve visited Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, and it’s a beautiful spot with quaint chapels, prayer gardens, and the fabulous painting of the crucifixion of Christ displayed in a churchlike theater on the crest of the hill (it’s the largest oil painting in the world, and worth a visit). But ...

Consider this: Because God is infinite, we always underestimate Him. Logically speaking, it is an unavoidable inevitability. The Lord has no boundaries or barriers, no limits or restrictions. He is endless in direction and duration, in space and time...

There’s an article today in an Australian newspaper about the growing presence of born-again Christians in France. Seems the evangelical population is having a resurgence, and that sends some pundits into spasms. ...

(Preaching) may be slow work; it often is; it is a long-term policy. But my whole contention is that it works, that it pays, and that it is honoured, and must be, because it is God’s own method. ...

The other day I pulled a book off the shelf of my library that I hadn’t opened for over 35 years. When I’d first read it as a college student, it’d made a big impression on me. Now, over three decades later, I find it no less insightful. It’s...

Here are the notes from last Sunday night’s sermon: Introduction: We tend to anguish about three things: (1) our past, with its flaws and failures; (2) our present, with its difficulties and danger; and (3) our future, with its uncertainties about life and certainties about death. ...
