: Having done my undergraduate work in History, I am very much a believer in the old adage that history continues to repeat itself. I am also familiar with that cliché that indicates that history is doomed to repeat itself because we fail to learn...

Isaiah 1:1 indicates that Isaiah preached these prophetic messages contained in the book during the reigns of Uzziah (also called Azariah), Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. The years covered are 740 B.C. to at least 701 B.C. Some would say that there is...

I want to do something really simple with this 10th commandment this morning. I want to just simply observe a few things from the text, illustrate the text using a couple of Biblical examples, and then lastly apply this 10th commandment to our lives...

I can tell you that there are lots of jokes about lying. However, if you have ever been on the receiving end of a lie told about you or the receiving end of a lie that deceived you, you will attest to the fact that the truth about lying is no...

At first glance, similar to the commandment on murder, our first reaction might be that surely those gathered this morning here at FBC have no issue with stealing. I wish that were so, but let me show you some ways that perhaps we are tempted to...

To be perfectly honest, I have fretted over this message this morning more than usual, but for a different reason. Today, I realize the tremendous hurt that thinking about this subject brings to some of you. In fact, I read somewhere this week that...

When I was a student at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, the requirement at the time, under the leadership of the president Dr. Landrum Leavell, was that every student would spend one semester in witnessing training. The training included...

We will probably not be surprised by the observations of sociologist and historian Carle Zimmerman, in his book Family and Civilization. He suggested that the disintegration of various cultures parallel the decline of family life. He identified...

As we approach this fourth commandment, certainly there are a couple of critical issues that must be faced if we have any hope at understanding this command in an appropriate way. Facing these issues will help us with our interpretation and...

Someone has remarked that all 10 of the commandments give us a little trouble. Some are difficult because we do not know what they mean. In other commandments, our trouble is that we struggle with how exactly to apply them in our contemporary...

I realized something this week—For the 19 years now that I have been a pastor, on Mother’s Days, I have almost always preached on subjects about mothers. On Father’s Days in those 19 years, I have almost never preached on subjects about fathers. I...

One of the things that I hope that we learn in this series is that this list of 10 is a list of commandments for those already in relationship to God. In other words, the commandments were “given to people already redeemed, not so that they might be...

The Gospels tell us that on one occasion a scribe asked Jesus, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” Jesus quotes from Deuteronomy 6 by saying, “Listen, Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord in One. Love the Lord your God with all your...

I had the wonderful privilege this week to hear Former President George W. Bush speak here in our city. I thought it to be a great speech—funny, challenging, and insightful as to what it was like to be President of the United States. He began by...

The best way to begin to attack this text for our understanding and application is to consider the final phrase first. Here it is: “So that you won’t grow weary and lose heart.” Some days are like that aren’t they? In this world so filled with...

You see a lot of preachers will be preaching today from Proverbs 31. Now, that’s an appropriate text for Mother’s Day and if you remember, one that I have preached from on a previous Mother’s Day. If you are not familiar with the passage, it’s the...

What did Jesus mean when He said that He has come to seek and to save the lost?

The road to Jerusalem and the cross has been Jesus’ journey. He stopped to heal a blind man on the way. He stopped to cleanse the temple. Then, He made His way to the Mount of Olives for His final sermon. The upper room and the Garden of...

Have you ever done something that as soon as you did it, you said, “Now, I wish I wouldn’t have done that.” We encounter a man today who would live to regret the choice that he made. Pilate—though not solely responsible for the crucifixion of...

From Jesus’ example, what do we learn about prayer? Again, I point to the main idea of this series. Jesus’ life is at a hectic, frantic pace. Time is of the essence. What does He do? He draws aside so that He can pray. He goes to His spot—His...
