Christ followers, under the power of the Holy Spirit, will tell everyone about Him. (Acts 1:8)
"I try to fit you in the wall inside my mind. I try to keep you safely in between the lines. I try to put you in the box that I've designed. I try to pull you down so we are eye to eye. When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world? ... Continue Reading →
Southern Baptists have a long history of demonstrating compassion to those affected by crisis and loss.

In Louisville, for example, there are now over one hundred languages represented in the metro school system. Thousands of students are coming from abroad to study at our American universities. The international community is evident in many of... Continue Reading →
Several years ago, I came home from work complaining about how hungry I was. My wife was fixing dinner and the girls were working on homework at the kitchen table.
