Elder Chris Folsom has launched a rather interesting podcast called Elder Record. In it, he interviews Primitive Baptist elders about their ministries but also personal lives. It’s available on a number of platforms, including Spotify, Podbean, and Amazon. Last week, I had the fun privilege of participating in an interview for the podcast. In the…

Vengeance Is The Lord’s
Lately on Words of Grace, we’ve been considering stories from the life of King David. One thing I love about the Bible is its candid depiction of the lives of our heroes, sharing their victories and their failures. David is no exception to this rule, and so we learn of things such as his triumph…
God’s Word to Jeremiah
The book of Jeremiah is a sad, dark commentary on the years of wicked, rebellious living among the nations of Israel and Judah. At the same time, Jeremiah’s writings are alarming, being prophetic of God’s upcoming judgment of His physical people for their behavior. As he writes to them, it is revealed that certain doom…

Two Tombs, One Empty
It’s a great irony that archaeologists have discovered the remains of Caiaphas son of Joseph, the high priest who ruled at the time of Christ’s ministry, the man who personally oversaw the first of three mock trials of Jesus, effectively orchestrating all that followed. Why? Because there’s another tomb in Jerusalem that has no remains….
Is Empathy a Sin?
It’s rare that I emphasize one radio program on the home page of our website, but I would like do just that with this weekend’s edition of Words of Grace. This broadcast spoke to an issue presently being debated or discussed among conservative evangelicalism, particular those of Calvinistic backgrounds. In short, empathy has been equated…
A Note on Interaction Between African and Caucasian Churches Prior to the Civil War
I found an interesting statement while reading some historical references online today. Initially, I was looking for information on our constituting pastor, John Nicholson. Then I took my typical rabbit trail, perusing local historic markers, a google search of our church’s name, etc., eventually coming across a note on Saint Bartley. Originally known as the…
