It is so ever easy to be busy. To load ourselves up with doing. To distract ourselves with activities, volunteering, or simply busy work. I've done it - and complained about how tired, exhausted, and worn out I am. I've used the excuse of fatigue and lacking of time to skip personal prayer and Scripture … Continue reading Too Busy, Distracted, And Starving
I began an expository preaching series through the book of Romans this year, and just finished assembling the 30th message. It has been an incredible journey thus far - but one that has been extremely convicting.

Featuring Michael Battenfield (FBC Cave Springs, Arkansas) and Derrick Bremer … Continue reading The Lonely Pastor’s Podcast!

The primary thing that identifies a particular church (and thus denomination, association, or convention of churches) is doctrine. There are even the cases of "non-denominational churches" that fall into either being … Continue reading Doctrine (like Theology) Matters!
