Faulty Leadership – the Other Side of the Coin (Part 2)

John 10:11-18 (NIV2011) 11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the...

DFW Church Cultural Connection History

My Facebook Introduction to this Article Some years ago, I began a blog about racial issues entitled, “Black Tax and White Benefits.” One of the early blog posts was entitled, “White Church Leaders – Are You Listening?” I followed this post up with several others...

Faulty Leadership – the Other Side of the Coin (Part 1)

Last week I published an article on my teaching website entitled, “Is Your Religion Focused on Christ or the Church?” My bottom-line point was that if it is focused primarily on the church, becoming disillusioned, discouraged and critical is difficult to avoid. If it...

Is Your Religion Focused on Christ or the Church?

The question posed by the title is one of the most important questions that any individual can entertain and it is one that you will answer with your life whether you realize it or not. No one can avoid answering it. We are all in the process of answering it right...

Once Saved, Always Saved?

I have expressed my alarm many times about the current teaching and emphases of American evangelical churches. Honestly, the emphases are in many ways more disturbing than the specific doctrines with which I disagree. Living in the Bible Belt and interreacting with...

God is Our Father

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! (1 John 3:1) God is our Father and those of us in Christ are his specially adopted children – no truth in the Bible is more exciting! The cost of...

Where is God in My Mess?

Handling Injustices and Ill Treatment Spiritually Life is nearly always somewhat messy, right? Sometimes it is so messy that we generalize and just say it’s a mess. I’ve been at that point many times, one recently that I will mention before closing the article. But...

Is the Jewish Nation Still God’s Special Nation?

Introduction In a previous article, “Gentiles and the Law of Moses,” I addressed the increasingly popular Torah pursuant concept that we need Christ plus the Law. Of course, the claim of such adherents is that only Christ saves us, but God never intended his followers...

Gentiles and the Law of Moses

Introduction From time to time, for reasons I do not fully understand, Christians are tempted to combine Judaism with Christianity. Perhaps they get bored with Christianity as they know it and are looking for something new and more exciting. This reason certainly is...

Children of the King or Servants of the King?

Which of those descriptions is true of us as disciples? Both, actually. We are the sons and daughters of God Almighty, Creator of the universe and King of this world and all worlds. But we are also servants of the King, the Master of all creation and of all peoples,...

I recently posted an article on my teaching website entitled, “Is Your Religion Focused on Christ or the Church?” In it, I addressed some concerns I have for individuals within the church. I followed it up with another related article, “Faulty Leadership – the Other Side of the Coin (Part 1).” In that second article, I promised another article, suggested by the title itself. I just posted Part 2 on my website. The last two articles were included because poor leadership makes it much harder to avoid the attitudes and behaviors condemned in the first article. As one of our oldest leaders in the ICOC, I feel the responsibility of pointing out what years of life and ministry have taught me about where our churches are and may be headed. I understand that what I write is one man’s opinion, but it is for sure a seasoned opinion. For that reason, I hope you will read what I write and feel free to contact me if you feel compelled to respond.

Quick Health ReportThanks so much for the encouragement and prayers over the past few days. My two procedures seemed to go well today, although the test results won’t be back for a few days. If something isn’t good, I’ll let you know, but I expect it to be good. The doctor didn’t seem to be overly concerned at what he saw, which was reassuring. So the cancer problem/potential appears to be confined to that other part of my anatomy (a pain in the ____!). I believe that your prayers and mine will take care of that ongoing challenge. Thank you again so much for your love and encouragement. The greatest thing in the world is love, as the Good Book says, and I’m feeling it! I love you! ... See MoreSee Less

Health Update and Prayer RequestA few months back, I mentioned having two surgeries and a concern that I might have cancer. The early report was that I didn’t, but a later report said that I did. The second surgery (both rectal) seems to have removed it, but my surgeon says that I have a definite tendency to develop cancer in that area. This Tuesday I will have an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. I imagine my surgeon wants to see if the cancer has spread. I would appreciate your prayers for a good outcome, and I would also ask you to add my name to your ongoing prayer list, for it likely will remain an ongoing concern. Thank you so much! ...
