I was thinking of how many things encourage us to sin. Just about every TV show, book and magazine pushes us farther from God and nearer to a life of destruction. Continue reading
Morning Thought with Pastor Tim

Last night Linda and I attended the Broaddus Elementary Sixth Grade Graduation.
This is another group of kids that Linda had in Pre-K.

Never bored!
Get ready!
It’s the most anticipated time of year for school kids – summer vacation!
Put away the pencils and books; leave the desk behind and homework will be a distant memory.
It sounds idyllic! Continue reading
The only eternal!
In 1898 Hal Aldridge sold his sawmill property at Rockland, Texas, and he built his new mill 11 miles to the east in extreme northwest Jasper County, on the banks of Neches River, where he controlled 300,000,000 feet of standing timber. Aldridge quickly grew to a town of 1,000 persons, and prospects for its future seemed very bright. Continue reading
Another (fake) Gospel
There will always been those that would pervert the Gospel. There are the blatant perversions, like this story from Worldnetdaily.com.
Iran’s Basij Press is claiming a purported Gospel of Barnabas, discovered in 2000, will prove that Islam is the final and righteous religion, causing the collapse worldwide of Christianity. Continue reading

Earthquakes in different places!
When it comes to end-time events, most look at the words of Jesus in this discourse with the disciples.
Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?” Continue reading
The Control of Anger
People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the Lord. Prov 19:3
Last night Linda read me a really ignorant Facebook status comparing religion to something that utterly made no sense.
The person that made the comparison is angry at God about the things that have happened in their life. Continue reading
