An Old Favorite
Jim McGuiggan is a friend, an old friend more than a current friend, but an important friend. Jim taught for a number of years at the Sunset School of Preaching training ministers. During some of those years, I was teaching at the Preston Road School of Preaching, a...
Jerry Jones – A Man of Steel and Velvet
Jerry Jones departed this life on Wednesday, May 13, 2020. He and I were appointed as elders together in Phoenix, Arizona in September of 2004. We became co-laborers together in the church and close friends in all settings. In a short time, I think both of us would...
Justice, Jesus, and the 21st Century Christian Church–by Jim McCartney
In the year 2020 the focus of my biblical studies has been the role of culture, first in understanding the biblical text, and second, in application to the 21st century world in which we live. This is an endeavor of a decade or a lifetime, not a year, but because I...
Is the Coronavirus COVID-19 a Judgment of God?
NOTE: This is the announcement I made on my Facebook page just after posting this article. I think it is important to read before reading the article itself. Here it is: "For the past two weeks, I have been working on an article that I believe God put on my heart. It...

Journaling With God
1 Peter 5:7 – “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” In this verse, Peter gives us a command, one that is absolutely essential for spiritual and emotional health. But he doesn’t tell us exactly how to do it. No doubt some approach comes to your mind...
Do You Get It? by Jim McCartney
“You unbelieving and perverse generation”, Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long will I put up with you?” – Matthew 17: 17 Addressed to Jesus’ disciples who had been following him and listening to him, Jesus expressed frustration that they were...
Women’s Role in the Church – We Are Missing Something! by Linda Brumley
The current conversations about using women in public worship are timely for sure. I personally do not think this is overdue, for I believe that any alteration in long-held practices is best rolled out slowly in the interest of unity so everyone can have time to...
The One Thing Christians Need to Stop Doing Right Now — by Michael Burns
Family, we need to talk. This won’t take long but it is important. I’ll be brief and try to avoid that lecturing tone that no one appreciates. In the early 20th century, Swiss psychologist Hermann Rorschach developed the famous inkblot test, which soared in popularity...
