This week Sue and I traveled to New Albany, Indiana to attend the funeral of a dear friend. A 42-year-young man named Jerry Walker, who was a teenager in the youth group of my seminary church 27 years ago, had a massive heart attack and died, leaving a wife and three children behind. Jerry was […]

Caleb-That Magnificent Old Man

Series: Preacher: Date: May 7, 2006 Scripture Reference: Joshua 14:6-12

A week or so ago Sue and I watched a four-minute segment on Good Morning America in which Robin Roberts “aged” forty years. Of course, she didn’t really grow old in that amount of time. The clip we saw had to do with an experiment in aging in which she did a great deal to […]

The Longest Day–Do Miracles Really Happen?

Series: Preacher: Date: March 26, 2006 Scripture Reference: Joshua 10:1-15

My first room-mate in college was a guy named John Smith (real name withheld) and I think the housing office paired us up because on our application we both checked the box that said we were Christians.

Like most of you, Sue and stayed up late most nights the past few weeks in order to watch the delayed broadcast of the Winter Olympic games that were being held in Turin, Italy. We pretty much watched it all. We loved the ice-skating and the snow board racing and down hill skiing. We were […]

Your Walls Can Come Down

Series: Preacher: Date: February 26, 2006 Scripture Reference: Joshua 6:1-27

One of my favorite “fun read” books as of late was Newt Gingrich’s Gettysburg, and I must confess, until I saw it on the shelf I didn’t know that Gingrich was a writer. I only knew him from the political headlines he made a few years back so I was very surprised to find him […]

Rahab: In Her Majesty’s Secret Service

Series: Preacher: Date: February 5, 2006 Scripture Reference: Joshua 2:1-24

One of my dad’s favorite TV shows was Get Smart. Do any of you remember that sitcom from yesteryear? Well, Dad loved it. He almost never missed an episode. He’d take a break from his sermon prep to watch because he really enjoyed the antics of Secret Agent 86, a role that was played by […]
