Tomorrow will be your last meeting of the year. This group is the highlight of my week. I love the way these guys stretch me and make me a better preacher.
After the meeting Tina and I will be going to her staff Christmas Party.

Revelation
Beginning in January I am teaching Revelation at Lousiville Bible College. I am very excited for this opportunity. I am looking forward to the challenge of teaching this book in a clear and consice way.
Revelation is one of my favorite books of the bible. However, I do not believe that Revelation was written to help us predict the end of the world.

Tough Day To Be A Falcon
It seems that the Atlanta Falcons can't get a break. First the All Star QB is a thug. Too bad he wasn't aborting babies he would still be playing.
They are 3-13 and now their head coach gets up and walks out before the season is over. Bobby Petrino may be a good coach but on the character meter he is way below zero. Move over Nick Saban and make room on the Liars Bench.

Happy Holidays Merry Christmas and who knows what else
Hello friends. Once again it has been a while but wanted to say whatever non offensive saying I could to you all.
Mike Vick will be in jail for 23 months. Something tells me he might have a long two years. Of course one wonders how things would be different if Jonny Cocharan was still alive.

Vick is Guilty? Who Would have Guessed
Well Vick is Guilty. I can't say that I am shocked. Who would have guessed a Kennel Called "Bad Newz" would be bad news?
However, this has caused me to reflect on our culture. Why is it that Senator KKK Robert Byrd will stand on the floor of the Senate and almost come to tears over Dog Fighting when he sees no problem with killing a baby inside the womb of its mother?
Figure that out and let me know.

Has it Really been Five Months?
Wow it has been 5 months since I last did this. I really need to get better. My good friend Wade Allen was apologizing he hadn't done it in a week.
Well it has been a busy few months. I promise to do much better. Starting August 23 I will beging teaching at Louisville Bible College. Hopefully I will take advantage of the High Speed internet.
We will talk later

National Preaching Summit
Monday and Tuesday me and several of my good preacher friends rode to the National Preaching Summit. As always there were good challenges thrown out to the preachers and there were a couple that convicted me and how I preach.
However, I was a bit disappointed in this years summit and hope next year it raises back to the level of the past.
My preaching class with Mark Scott was GREAT. I now feel better prepared to tackle the book of Matthew. Mark is a great person and communicator as well as a very gifted teacher. I look forward to seeing him at the Ingraham Conference at the End of the Month

The most Toys and Anna
Yesterday while looking at TV I could have sworn another President had passed away. The funeral procession was on CNN, Fox, etc. But it wasn't a president it was Anna Nicole Smith. I must admit I did watch some. Is this where we have come as a country? That a Stripper's funeral is good live as it happens news.
The fame was fleeting and the most attention she got was when she was dead. Is this really what life is about. This week my sermon title is "He who dies with the most toys wins." This is a lie that our whole country has bought into and Anna Nicoles funeral proves it.

Preaching From Matthew
This Week I will be at Lincoln Christian College and Seminary in Lincoln, IL (http://lccs.edu ) taking the class Preaching From Matthew. It will be taught by Mark Scott, Academic Dean at Ozark Christian College http://www.occ.edu . Mark is a great teacher and I am looking forward to hearing what he has to say.
Then next week the preaching group and I are heading off to Indy for the 2007 National Preaching Summit http://www.collegepress.com

Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity
This Sunday begins a new sermon series for my sermon study group. We are dealing with common myths you hear about Christianity. They are:
March 4- He Who Dies With The Most Toys Wins
March 11- If It Feels Good Do It
March 18- All Roads Lead to Heaven
March 25- My Faith is A Private Matter
April 1- I can be a Christian On My Own.
My idea for the series title came from an outstanding book by John Stossel about the lies we are told on a regular basis by the media, politicians, and scientist. Christian Church of Jasper and Central Christian are using the Title Myth busters.

WWW
I just returned from Winter Worship in Pigeon Forge http://barnabasohio.com. Once again it proved to be an uplifting experience.
The Preaching and Singing was great. Art Bush and Steven Foster did a tremendous job leading us in worship and the best sermon of the week was last night as Lee Mason preached a very personal sermon on Heaven.
It was good to see some very good friends and to be spiritually fed. The best part was getting to see my Dad, mom, and Brother.

Vanity Vanity All is Vanity
My Friend Mike Luke got me to thinking tonight about Wealth and beauty and what it really gets you. The tragic death of Anna Nicole Smith shows us that Solomon and Jesus was right.
"Through the '90s and into the new century, Smith was famous for being famous, a pop-culture punchline because of her up-and-down weight, her Marylin Monroe looks, her exaggerated curves, her little-girl voice, her ditzy-blonde persona, and her over-the-top revealing outfits."
That quote (from AOL News) tells us what the world saw in Anna. However, it is good to remember that during the jokes and tales that will follow in the coming days. It seems apparent that the money, curves, her voice, and not even her famous good looks led her to who she really needed, Jesus Christ.
"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"
For as beautiful and sexy as she was, she has lost it all. She gained the whole world and lost her soul and that should be the real lesson of loss we learn from this.

It Is Amazing When The World Figures Out What God Already Knows
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070205/hl_nm/sex_teens_dc
The Above link is a story about researchers that found out that "sex of any kind", (oral or regular intercourse), is harmful to teenagers. Once again we see that there is no such thing as safe sex.
I realize that the people who did this study will fight against Abstinence Programs while telling us about this study but it just goes to show that Abstinence until marriage is the only safe and proper sex.
God knows what he is doing and it is gratifying for me when an ignorant world finally figures it out. Condoms "might" provide safer physical sex but no condom protects a heart.
