Decisions do not Save

Playing Catch Up!

Last week services were cancelled at the last moment at the North Kelso Baptist Church due to that awful flu that is going around. In a small church it is easy to put a good portion if not all of the congregation out of action due to sickness.

The message delivered today will that which was scheduled to be delivered last Sunday. So, if you have not done so already, read the message from last week (Oct 11th) by scrolling down to it.

We are winding down our short series on Heaven as we continue to take a break from our in depth study of Romans. 

Reversal of Decision

Many times in my life I have made a fool of myself and have completely embarrassed myself. And realizing that I am only 60 years old, I will probably once again make a fool of myself and embarrass myself.

Here I go again...

I have decided to reverse my decision about retiring the Gospel-driven Disciples Blog. The feed back was overwhelming. After much thought I can have a greater impact (at least eternally) with this blog and its mission statement than I can have with a blog just "popping off" with my opinion, which has no eternal value or benefit.

So, I have renewed my commitment to this blog and its format. I hope you will continue to follow, read, comment, and pray for this blog. I desire to have an impact on each reader for your good and God's glory.

It may not be everyday but I will continue to attempt to edify, encourage, expose, expand, and to exalt our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you for your past faithfulness, kindness, and comments. I look forward to serving each and every one of you. May God bless you!

Food for Thought

Good-by Gospel-driven Disciples

It is with much sadness and relief that I announce the closing of The Gospel-driven Disciples. Other duties have taken over the time and energy that I have dedicated to this blog over the last six years.

I have loved this blog and I have loved each one of you. Thank you for following, reading, and commenting on this blog. Your impact in and on my life cannot be measured nor calculated. This has been a great experience for me. From that very first akward post through today I have loved every minute.

I have tried my best to put out a first class product with your good and God's glory as my motivation. I have taken no cheap shots, wrote over 2,000 posts, and worked hard to be both beneficial and vital. I tried my best to fulfill the five (5) purposes for this blog.

I will not rule out the possibility that now and then I might put up a post. After all the blog is retiring not dieing. 

I am going to use the blog "North Kelso Baptist Church Blog "at northkelsobc.blogspot.com" on a regular basis. This blog will take the place of Gospel-driven Disciples. I will post my Sunday Sermons there and will still attempt to be faithful to my five (5) reasons for blogging. So, please put this blog in your blog roll and please follow this blog. Much of the material from the Gospel-driven Disciples and same biblical exposition will now be on the North Kelso Baptist Church Blog.

Now, I want to try my hand at free-lancing. So, I take great pleasure in announcing the birth of a new blog - "Just Sayin'..." Add my new blog to your blog roll and visit my new blog, Please remember to follow and comment often.

Happy Columbus Day!

Happy Columbus Day to All!

Seven things we would not have without Columbus Day:

1.  Columbus Ohio and Columbus Georgia would have no names.

2.  The Cleveland Indians would still be looking for an identity.

3.  The Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria song would not have been written.

4.  The Banks and Post Office would be open for business.

5.  Little children wouldn't sing, "In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue."

6.  The District of Columbus would not exist. (That would be a good thing)

7.  There would be no celebrations of parades, parties, and good times
