Last Sunday after church my friend John David said, “Let me know when you’re through with this new series so I can come back when it’s over.” He was kidding me about making him uncomfortable with the message. I’ve have to admit, I was just as uncomfortable as anyone. Somehow last weeks message, “Jesus will [...]

I’m excited about the next six weeks of lessons I’ll be doing. The series is called “Comfortable.” Jesus never called his followers to be comfortable or to take up their easy chair, but to take up their cross. Like it or not, crosses are not comfortable and their purpose is for dying. If you’re in [...]

Long before Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria and the girls of Wisteria Lane was this lady. She was the first desperate housewife. The bible doesn’t tell us her name, just that she was Potiphar’s wife. When she laid eyes on Joseph (not the pool boy, but a servant in Potiphar’s house) she saw a young man [...]

It’s been a crazy two days for Childress county. The tired folks that did all the counting came up with three different final numbers three different times. Finally yesterday afternoon they officially said going wet passed by seven votes. Tuesday night it was 47 votes then early Wednesday morning it was 2 votes, now it’s [...]

Yesterday I did my 300th post on this blog. I’m about a month away from this blog’s one year anniversary. I’m still amazed that in the 11 months this blog has been going, I’ve had just over 67,000 visitors to this site. While looking back at some of my 300 different posts yesterday I found [...]

I got spammed yesterday. Fifty-seven times someone posted on the comment sections of my blog a link for “cheap Canadian Viagra.” It took me a couple of hours to delete all of them. I had to turn on the “word verification” for comments. I don’t know about you, but I hate doing word verification just [...]

I am PUMPED. I cannot believe what I’m going to get to do. It’s still almost “unbelievable” in my mind. It all got started when I wrote a silly post called, “10 Things I Wish my Wife Would Whisper in my Ear,” and then I asked my wife to have a follow up called, “10 [...]

Having a great time at the RRFE. Heard a great lesson on “Growing Spiritually in Marriage.” I’ll share some of the notes with you later. You’ve probably heard enough preaching today, bit if you didn’t, here’s a link to last weeks sermon for those who follow the weekly sermons. What it takes to be a [...]

God must have a sense of humor. Why else would He put polar opposites in families. Let me give you some examples on how families are often so different just from some past events in the Morgan family… Family Vacations – This summer we’re talking about where we want to go on vacation. Lea would [...]

(This is part of last weeks sermon: Life is a Highway, Chose Your Lane Carefully) Last summer going through the metropolis of Dallas, Texas we had lots of choices on what road we’d take. If we picked the right lane, we could get exactly where we wanted to go, but if we chose the wrong [...]

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3 A man bought a brand new Ferrari. He wanted to get a blessing for it, so he went to see his priest. “Father O’Malley, can I have [...]

Is it just me or does it seem that we’ve lost our sense of just how awesome God is? I think the church and our nation has forgotten just how unbelievably awesome God is. We somehow need to rediscover what an awesome God we have. How will we ever be willing to jump and trust [...]

Can you imagine running up $10,000 of debt on a credit card that charged 21% interest? Not a good thing. And if I charged this $10,000 of debt on a Dillard’s card, they’d want me to pay it. There would be a bill come with an amount due. If instead of paying the bill, I [...]

Yesterday (Sunday) was a blast. It was both exciting and fun. Yes, church can be both exciting and fun. The building was packed, there were lots of visitors, lots of necks to hug and I love preaching about our good God. I love my Childress church family. Lea and Parker got to go to the [...]

SUNDAY’S SERMON (What the Cross Means to Me) I’ve carried a cross in my pocket for a long time. It doesn’t bring me luck. It’s not there to identify me as a Christian, nor does it protect me from harm. But what it does is remind me of some things. Every time I stick my [...]

Kids are eager for things like… Christmas Birthdays The End of School Adults are eager for things like… A Vacation A New Job Marriage or a New Baby How many times have we said, “Boy, I am so eager for the Lord’s return,” or “I wish I could go to heaven right now.” Those aren’t [...]

(Part of yesterday’s lesson) You get a raise or a job promotion by earning it. You make the team by earning a spot on the team. You get a passing grade in school by earning it. Working hard to earn something is great in our society. But when it comes to Christianity, you don’t earn [...]

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.” ~ James 1:2-3 When hard times come have you every questioned your faith? I have. In fact in my lifetime, my faith has been under fire more than once. I’ve asked [...]

I really enjoyed preaching yesterday about memorial stones. In Joshua 3 and 4 we are told the story of when the Israelites were about to cross the Jordan River into their new promised land, Canaan. God stopped the flow of the Jordan so that the Israelites could cross the river on dry land. As they [...]

Kassidy, my friend… Here’s Sunday’s sermon you asked for. You’ll be proud, I’ve finally learned to post them myself. Thanks for all you’ve done to help. You’re the best!PS – Make sure you have a pillow close by while listening to it … it’ll make you sleepy

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” Acts 2:42 (sermon link) Sunday I talked about how the early church was a “devoted” church. One of my points is that “church” to them was not a fad, it was a committment. Fads have come [...]
