Good Old Days Really Were Not All That Good

Yesterday Dr. Elmer Towns stopped by and sat in my office.  It was an honor that I am not worthy of.  Mr. Sunday School sitting in my office.  It caused me to take a trip back to the times when I had used his material in trying my hardest to get my church and Sunday [...]

They’re Tearing Down Tim Reily’s Bar

As a follow up to the last blog about the sentimental value of old buildings I remembered my favorite episode of the TV series NIGHT GALLERY.  This was my favorite show when I was in the sixth and seventh grade.  It was hosted by Rod Serling and had stories very similar to those you might [...]

Old Buildings

As I sit in my office today I can see a gas station being torn down right outside my window.  In between lightning, rain, and other such normal Florida summer sights, I see a large machine simply tearing down the building that has been standing since I was a student here (1990).  There is something [...]

The Words Your Minister Hates to Hear

He came up to me this morning, before the service and said the words that ministers hate.  “I don’t mean to be critical, but . . .” I have heard this all too many times and know what is coming.  Usually if a person doesn’t want to be critical, they don’t have to say it.  [...]

Close Up of the Prodigal’s Father

A good friend of mine at the church will be celebrating his 80th birthday on Wednesday.  Bill is not only 80 years old but he is coming by on his birthday to give me some lessons on how to make the pictures on my website look a little better.  For all of you who are [...]

The Prodigal Son

As those of you that know me from Coral Ridge or from Knox Seminary realize, my favorite gospel is that called Matthew.  I must admit, despite my love for the gospel of Matthew, that one of my favorite parables is found only in Luke’s gospel.  To help you hear it fresh, here is a different [...]

Apologetics Class Fall at Knox Seminary

I would like to invite you to the upcoming apologetics class that will take place at Knox Seminary this Fall and tell you a little about my interest in this course since this will be the first time I have taught it. I have been fascinated in the apologetic venture since my own crisis of [...]
