A New Series

This Sunday, I will begin a series on the book of Galatians. Paul begins the letter reminding the Galatians about the Gospel – Jesus sacrificial death to bring us new life. However, he quickly chastises them for quickly adopting other practices and using them as an alternative to God’s grace. In this short letter, Paul reveals that living the Gospel life is…

Why Do I Worry?

How do you typically handle unexpected events in your life? How has worry influenced your thoughts and actions? Why do we so often allow ourselves to be consumed by worry? Worry is a matter of perspective. If anyone had a reason to worry—it was Paul as he wrote Philippians. Paul’s perspective of God: Nothing separates you from the love of God. Facing…

What Have We Learned?

As almost everyone would agree, the past few months have been the most challenging of our lives. Who would have thought back last Christmas that by March we would all be “sheltering in place” to prevent contracting a deadly virus that was killing not only thousands but hundreds of thousands of people worldwide? Our entire way of life changed drastically. Who could…

In Times Like These

Do you think we are living in unusual times? Do you sense an uncomfortable struggle in both the secular and spiritual world? If so, you are not alone.  Christian leaders around the globe are wrestling in their spirit with the issues that confront us. Whether in the form of a biological, societal, or spiritual pandemic, those whom God has called to spiritual leadership are wrestling “not…

Scared or Excited

As the days in quarantine continue for most of us, I am hearing similar words from friends and colleagues across the country: drained, down, Zoom-ed out, weary, exhausted, sad, struggling. The psychological toll of the lockdown hasn’t received the same coverage as the physical toll of the disease (and understandably so), but both are real, and both matter for those of us…

COVID-19 Update

As you know, Georgia has been under Shelter-At-Home orders for almost a month now. We were all very encouraged last week when Governor Kemp rolled out plans to allow specific businesses to reopen. While we are excited about the prospect of meeting together again, Three Point ministry environments are not very conducive to social distancing. Based on Federal guidelines, social distancing is…

Surviving the COVID apocalypse…

We have been meeting and will continue to meet online with our church during this COVID 19 period. We might still share the word together and pray together – even sing (awkwardly) together. But there is a power in physical presence and physical gathering that we can’t replace—of experiencing other people live and in color; of seeing them, and listening to them,…

Fear, Worry, and Being Prepared

One of the most-repeated commands in the Bible is to “fear not.” Jesus told us in the Sermon on the Mount not to worry about tomorrow. And Paul assured the Philippian Christians, Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,…
