A few weeks ago my facebook friend and preaching colleague, Doy Moyer, posted a wonderful piece about grace.
His article was based on God’s response to Paul “my grace is sufficient for you.” This was His answer to Paul’s sincere plea for the removal of his “thorn in the flesh” (2 Cor. 12:7-10).
Doy observed that God’s grace would provide Paul what he needed to accomplish His will. Indeed, as Doy points out, “The sufficiency of the Lord’s grace is difficult to grasp, yet it is a concept that the child of God must accept.” Continue reading

Like other preachers, writers and bloggers, we have at times addressed the problems of social media, including platforms like facebook.
Too often social media is abused and misused by wasting time surfing through its endless posts. Or engaging in heated arguments, hurling unkind and ugly retorts. Posting immodest pictures. Or just being trivial and frivolous.

This question raised today reminds me of the old joke about the politician who was asked by a reporter his position on a particular issue.
“Well, there are two ways to look at it,” he responded. Then launched into a lengthy explanation of both views, giving both the pros and cons of the respective positions. He concluded by saying he had friends on both sides of the question.
“But what’s your position?” the reporter pressed. Continue reading
In a facebook post yesterday my friend and preaching colleague, Doy Moyer opined that “Changing hearts is greater than changing laws, for when hearts are changed for the good, the laws won’t even be necessary.”
In the aftermath of continued gun violence in general and another school shooting in particular, cries are coming to “do something!” There is pressure on lawmakers to pass more gun laws to “keep this from ever happening again.” Continue reading
