The Friday Morning Men’s Bible Study is wrapping up our study of John Piper’s book, “Don’t Waste Your Life.”  It has been an eye-opening, faith-defining study for a lot of us and has led to a deeper desire to walk in a manner worthy of our calling in Jesus Christ.  On Friday the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago while I was preparing the sermon that I was to preach that Sunday, I did something that I do not often do.   I wrote the end of the sermon first.  I was reflecting on the words of Isaiah in his incredible 53rd chapter:  
Surely he has [...]]]></description>

So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia. But thanks be to God, who in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Someone asked me when I came to WSBC what my favorite hymn was.  At the time it was “Be Thou  My Vision,” but now, without a doubt it has become “Before the Throne of God Above.”  When I read these words, I cannot help but be overcome with the greatness of God’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday, June 24, we looked at the church as the pillar and the buttress of truth as Paul described it in 1 Timothy 3:14-16.  That symbolism was not be lost on Timothy and the church in Ephesus. The centerpiece of the city was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the [...]]]></description>

One of the many questions that I am asked frequently is, “What does it mean that you are a Reformed Baptist?” I thought I would take a moment and answer that question.
