New Tools

I would like to introduce a new tool on our site that I hope will be helpful.  We have added a tab entitled “outlines”: under this tab you will find two different series of outlines for studies we are currently working on at Landmark Baptist.  The series on John 1… Continue reading

Earnestly Contending for the Faith

Jude 3 tells us that Jude realized it was needful to exhort his readers to stand up and battle false doctrine.  I have been disturbed lately about what I find people do not know about their Bible.  I pastor a Baptist church and it shocks me that people do not know… Continue reading

The “Y” Generation

As a technician for a packaging machine company I do quite a bit of travelling, spending many hours in airports and restaurants.  One thing that I have discovered to be consistent everywhere I travel is that people think that yelling is the way to resolve conflicts.  Whether it is parents… Continue reading

The Great Marriage Destroyer

Psalm 2:10             Let me deal with two words in this Psalm that would save so many marriages if they were only used.  These words are “wise” and “instructed”.  I have listened to so many as they described the problems they were having in their marriage and thought over and… Continue reading

He that findeth a wife

Proverbs 18:22, Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. I have often wondered about this verse, and never truly understood it until recently.  The truth of it began to dawn on me as I thought about those who spend their lives in sin,… Continue reading

A life filled with Joy

Psalm 4:6-7:  There be many that say, Who will shew us any good?  LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.  Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and wine increased. I remember a time in life when all that… Continue reading

Can God?

In Psalm 78:19 Israel asked  the following question, “Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?”.  If you read the first part of the verse, you will note that the question was not asked because they were not sure that He could, but rather in rebellion against how God was… Continue reading

The God of the Leftovers

The devotional booklet that our church uses has been dealing lately with the Old Testament book of Malachi.  It has been an interesting and timely series as Israel’s attitudes and actions in that day so very well parallel so many church members today.  The main thrust of God’s contention with… Continue reading

Can you be trusted

Have you ever considered the words spoken by God to Satan in Job 1:8 and 2:3;  “hast thou considered my servant Job”?  Think about those words for a moment and come face to face with what God is saying about Job.  He is telling Satan that Job can be trusted to… Continue reading

Vows of Convinience

Yesterday, March 21, my wife and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary.  That same day I talked with a dear Christian friend whose marriage ended in divorce.  I know this is not what she wanted, but the tragedy and hurt still remains a fact.  I am convinced that so many… Continue reading
