We are probably all familiar with the warnings of James concerning the tongue in chapter 3 of his epistle:
But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in […]

I took this picture on my way out of Atlanta last week. It is (or was) a local church that calls itself (I’m not kidding) “The Family Church” (formerly the First Baptist Church of Sugar Hill, which might actually still be the official name). My wife and I have been trying to figure out exactly […]

I haven’t made a post in a while because I haven’t been able to. We completed the move last week, but DSL wasn’t connected until yesterday (horror — a week without internet!). Sure I could have found a wi-fi hotspot and blogged, but I haven’t had the time (I’ve barely unpacked boxes of books, for […]

A major move can be an intimidating thing. My wife and I are getting ready to move next week from the Atlanta area to Louisville, KY. It is for reasons of which I am very thankful (the Lord has provided a church for me to pastor), but it is also very sad to move away […]

I recently wrote a post about a prison inmate in the South Carolina who was suing Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick for “63,000,000,000 billion dollars.” Well, it seems that the inmate, Jonathan Lee Riches, is at it again. This time he’s suing Barry Bonds, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, and (I’m not making this up) Hank […]

I just returned from a called presbytery meeting in Memphis, Tennessee (I was essentially the “purpose” of the meeting, accepting a call to a church in that presbytery). I did a lot of driving in the last 48 hours (probably 16 hours or so), so that gave me a lot of time to listen to […]

Having grown up in Georgia (and currently living in Atlanta, at least for the next week), I sometimes root for the Falcons (even though I don’t really follow pro football). Naturally, the Michael Vick dogfighting debacle is a bit disheartening. This story, however, takes the milkbone. An inmate in South Carolina (you hear that, Trey?) […]

In an online travel guide for the Old English District in South Carolina, I found the following entry. It was of particular interest since the church described is an important one for the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (the Synod of the Carolinas was formed at “The Old Brick Church” in Winnsboro in 1803). The entry […]

I was sitting in a local tire and brake place this afternoon, waiting as they corrected a very minor problem with my truck, and reading an old copy of Sports Illustrated (the March 27, 2007/Baseball Preview edition). In the magazine, I saw a quote by John Amaechi, a former center in the NBA, who recently […]

As wonderful as the Internet is as an information, it can also be the source of much misinformation (but, then so can any form of media, I suppose). If anyone doubts me, I just hold up the movie “Loose Change” as an example, and dare I say Wikipedia?

Apparently, one of the targets for […]
