A panoramic view of the valley below the Grand Mesa in Western Colorado where Grand Junction and other cities are located. In the distance you can see the San Juan Mountain Range located in South Western Colorado. If you have ever traveled in any of the western states, you undoubtedly have been overwhelmed by the majestic beauty which is on display. One of the questions which often comes to mind is, "How did all of this happen?" Landscape located within the Arches National Pa

Recently, I have been reading through the book of Genesis. In Genesis chapter 6, we are told that God, because of the great wickedness upon the earth, determined to destroy all of mankind. Genesis 6:5 "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." Genesis 6:7 "And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the cre

Currently, South Charlotte Baptist Church does not have “children’s church” during the Sunday morning church service which means that, if you have children, you will need to prepare your children for the worship service. Our hope is that you would not just endure Sundays, but that you would find joy in worshipping together with your children and the rest of the South Charlotte Baptist Church family. A big piece of that is your child becoming a participant (not just an observe

O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good: for His mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; - Psalm 107:1-2 As I come to the end of another year I am daily reminded of how much thanks I owe to the Lord! In spite of the challenges and difficulties of this past year, I must remember that the Lord is good! It's not just that He does good but that He is good! God cannot be anything other than good! And, be

While I cannot, in this post, fully explain it, the above picture is a wonderful example of the purpose of South Charlotte Baptist Academy and why I am very thankful for the ministry of South Charlotte Baptist Academy! Recently, I came across an old South Charlotte Baptist Church bulletin from July 17, 1983! This bulletin was for the dedication of what we now call the "Kirk Building." (Dr. Walter Kirk was the individual that God used to start South Charlotte Baptist Church. H

The mission field has come to us! As I was headed to church recently, I found myself following right behind this van. I have, on many occasions, made the statement that the mission field has come to us . I have also, at times, made the statement, " You no longer have to fly all the way around the world to go to the mission field ." The above pictures are demonstration of the fact that those statements are true and accurate. Now, we can "lament" the fact that we are now "surro

"Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name." 2 Samuel 22:50 "O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever." 1 Chronicles 16:34 Today was an absolutely wonderful day as Stephenie and I traveled to Grand Junction, CO to visit our daughter, Mollie, and son in law, Nathan, and to see - in person - our granddaughter, Charlotte, for the first time! Stephenie and I arrived at the Charlott

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: (Hebrews 10:24) We had a wonderful time of fellowship, recently, at our "almost annual" Fall Fellowship which we hosted at our home. It provided a time to be able to simply talk, get to know one another, and to encourage one another. Our church family is filled with individuals who come from all walks of life. I think that most would be shocked at the variety of experiences that those within our church fa
