It was my joy to bring on Lachuné as a soloist and musical intern at FBC-Burleson, TX just a couple of years ago. She shines! She is as kind as Simon says! Pure voice and pure-hearted. She is Simply the Best!

Last night 10 unchurched high school students professed faith in Jesus Christ as Savior after I preached from Revelation 1. It was too holy to stop for a pic. What an awesome ending to our 4-days of spiritual renewal at Dorcas Wills Texas Baptists Church in Trinity, Texas.

Help Texas Baptists help Israel. Our Bobbie Holliday teams are already working with the Israeli government providing meals and comforting in the communities ravaged by these attacks. Here is how to support this TBM ministry in Israel. Donate at: tbmtx.org/Israel-relief.

So thankful for Texas Baptists president FBC Burleson’s Dr. Ronny Marriott’s vision. Did you know he baptized 60 a few weeks ago? See below how they equip young ministers. 👇🏻

Excellent CT article quotes Katie McCoy. I would add: Many churches have lost nearly an entire generation - not because of our beliefs but because of our behavior. If we “have not love [we are] nothing” (1Cor 13:2). Our lack of love has produced the “nones.” #Love #Nones

In John 17, Jesus prayed believers would be “one” so “the world will know” the gospel is true. But the world doesn’t believe it because believers have failed to behave it. #Gospel #Truth #Reconciliation #GC2Press

Listen for one minute (and 12 seconds) to @blondeorthodoxy Katie J. McCoy, PhD., and get a glimpse of what she offers in the Lifeway Women Academy’s, “The World of the Bible.”👇🏻 facebook.com/share/v/m6pyKF…

Dreadful. We claim Psalm 122:6-8 along with all that prayer implies. We pray for the peace - and the victory - of Jerusalem. 👇🏻

.Ken Lupton, and all believers, may the assurance of our salvation defined in 1st John, shine through us by the love we share for one another, that the world may know Jesus IS the Son of God (John 17:20-21).

Baptist Press released a portion of one of my six contributions to LifeWay’s Fall OT Series on “Navigating Family Conflict.” We consider ancient intrigue with practical, biblical remedies. 👇🏻 baptistpress.com/resource-libra…

This Thanksgiving, let us bear our Father’s image with joy and gratitude. I wrote these lyrics for my extended family in 2010, weeks after my father passed away to Glory. #Thanksgiving2024

Today, Leon Spinks would have been 72. He passed away in 2021. He was an Olympic Gold Medalist and a one-time Heavyweight Champion. When he out pointed Muhammad Ali, he said, “I’m not The Greatest, I am The Latest.” Rest in peace, Champ. #Boxing #Olypics
