I interrupt today’s blog about the seniors of Hewitt- Trussville High School rolling the streets of Trussville to comment on Jerry Falwell’s death. Say what you want about Jerry Falwell—positive or negative—he was an influential man. Perhaps the greatest measure of his influence would be measured when he swayed much of the American public to …
I know I probably should not blog about this, but here I go anyway. Did any of you see the roll job the Hewitt Trussville Class of 2007 pulled off Sunday night and Monday morning in front of the high school and for two miles past the school on Trussville Clay Road? I know this …
For the church to be a more effective witness in the world, we must treat the vow and covenant of marriage with much greater respect. That is why I concluded my message Sunday morning with a list of principles for marriage. Take a look at these principles again today and ask yourself how marriage measures …

All three women are so much the same, and yet in other ways they are quite different. While watching these three beautiful women interact with …

How many of you watched the Nightline Face Off last night between the atheists and Christians? I usually do not stay up that late, but since I arrived home after the news I decided to remain awake long enough to watch it. For those of you who did not see it, you can click here …
I am still dwelling on salvation this week. Allow me to preach for a minute about salvation. The many CrossPointers who read this blog should be familiar with these thoughts. Salvation is all of God and none of us. We are not saved by what we DO for God; we are saved by what Christ …
I’ve got salvation on my mind this week. It is on my mind due in large part to a conference I attended last week. My friends Ron Ethridge and Buddy Gray attended the True Church Conference at First Baptist Church of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, with me last Thursday and Friday. The True Church Conference was …
After worship yesterday morning I had a few parents ask me for a copy of the Theology of Sex lessons I presented n my message, so I thought I would provide them for you in today’s blog. Lesson #1: Sex is not your idea; it is God’s idea. Sex is God’s gift to man (Genesis …
