I Kissed a Girl and I Liked It
(This article is from David Courington, a friend and preacher from Polishing the Pulpit – JBE) The song entitled “I Kissed A Girl And I Liked It” is number one this week on Billboard’s Pop chart. While lyrics like “I kissed a girl and I liked it. The taste of her cherry chapstick. I kissed […]
ICYC: Better Than Ever
I make my living with words but today I find it difficult to express just how great Indian Creek Youth Camp really was this year. Clark Sims begins planning this week at least 6-8 months in advance. He has handpicked a staff of assistants and counselors that is second to none. At 252 campers, this […]
Notice to Readers
I will be out of pocket this week with our children at camp and will have little time to write. Posting will be sporadic this week and will depend on when I can get to the computer. We will return to normal next week. Since all comments are moderated, none will show until I am […]
Monday Memo – Noah
Have you ever noticed how God has a way of using ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things? It is one of the great themes of Bible to study how God can take an average man or woman and place them on the steps of greatness. When they are faithful, they become heroes. Consider Noah. We […]
Essential Evangelism
Jesus did not instruct his followers to “hold the fort” until he returns. Jesus told us to take the offense and expand the kingdom on earth. The Great Commission makes clear that we are to “Go…and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son and the […]

Butler, 1868 in Millennial Harbinger I can scant think […]
Summer on the Eastern Shore

At the same time, we conduct our Summer Series for the adults with speakers from around the area. This summer the adults are studying The Wisdom of Solomon: […]
Attack of the Pink Monkeys
We leave Daphne for the backwoods of Walker County, Alabama on Saturday. We’ll be spending a week at Indian Creek Youth Camp with almost 200 young people from across the southeast. At present, 24 are scheduled to go from Eastern Shore. See at right, our 2007 group had a wonderful time and have looked forward […]
To The Point
Sometimes, it’s hard to boil down an Biblical concept into simple terms. In fact it seems that some people have made the Bible so complicated that others find nothing but confusion as they turn to Scripture. The subjects of salvation and condemnation are so often turned on their head that we may become powerless to […]
