Michael Shepherd
Michael Shepherd, from the Westside church of Christ in Pensacola, Florida feed us well last night as he discussed the perfect redemption of God. Michael spent most of his time in Isaiah 53 and emphasized that Jesus suffered for us at Calvary. We had a fine number in our adult class and many in our […]
Wednesday Blog Roundup – June 24, 2009
Welcome to our weekly roundup of excellent posts from Christian bloggers across the internet. We hope you will enjoy our selection this week. Scott McCown at Morning Drive has two articles for your consideration. First, since Father’s Day was Sunday, he offers the Top Ten Verses About Fathers. His top verse is quite instructive for […]
Pornography and Pedophilia
This article will make some people angry. Some will accuse me of fear-mongering and others will claim I am just trying to sensationalize a minor problem. For others it’s just a case of making a mountain out of a mole hill. But for a few readers, you will know just how true this article is. […]
I Am A Christian Because of Fulfilled Prophecies
The tabloids always carry end of the year predictions. Usually beginning just after Christmas you can read what will happen in the coming 2 months. At least, that is the claim. Truthfully any claims that do happen to come true are so vague that anyone could have created them. When something does come true the […]
What GM Teaches Us About Sin
General Motors filed for bankruptcy protection on June 1, 2009. Shortly thereafter we received a letter from GM sent to all owners of GM products.

Will Murder Change ProLife Debate
It’s been a couple of weeks since abortion provider George Tiller was gunned down while serving as an usher in church. As we have mentioned before George Tiller should not have been killed. He was a man caught up in an evil way of life to be sure. Why the Lutheran church was using him […]
Preacher’s Study Gets A New Look
I’ve changed the look of Preacher’s Study in order to make it more pleasing to the eye and easier to read. The previous layout required entirely too much work to make little changes. The new “Thesis” theme that you see here is top of the line and cutting edge for behind the scenes operations. You […]
Niceville, Florida
Thanks to Joe Palmer and the good people at the Niceville church of Christ. I was invited to speak there tonight on the subject of Surrendering to God. The story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5 was the text. As before I was treated very well. As an “extra” we witnessed the new birth of […]
