Pastor Bo: Don’t be spiritually blind to God’s blessings
Having read the text for my Sunday morning message this past week, I then did something I have never done before in 38 years of preaching:
Pastor Bo: A birthday celebration for the ages
He was the most important man in the history of his nation and, as such, the celebration of his birth was a very appropriate thing. Indeed, where would his people really even be without him?
Pastor Bo: Walk in the light, preferably not a strobe light
My elbow is hurting just a bit, but I am still smiling as I think of how I dinged it. Traveling through time is always a risky proposition under the best of circumstances; it is far more dangerous still when the floor is wet and you go blind every other second.
Pastor Bo: Human contact is irreplaceable
The most extreme case of social distancing the world has ever know was, ironically, in the very beginning of creation.
Pastor Bo: We make our own messes, but a brighter day is definitely coming
As I sit in class this morning waiting for my students to arrive, I cannot help but muse on the Newton's Cradle sitting just a few feet away. You see, my Bible classroom is also the science lab later on in the day, and no good science lab will be without a Newton's Cradle at some point.
Pastor Bo: The believer’s privilege and responsibility to vote
As in every election, at least three things are guaranteed to be true: One, every Christian should vote; two, many of them won't; and three, it actually matters.
Pastor Bo: A pleasant change is in the air
To say that 2020 has been a bit of a dumpster fire would be, I think we can all agree, a bit of an understatement.
Pastor Bo: Amy Coney Barrett and the intersection of politics and faith
I often joke with people that, since I was baptized as a baby in the Catholic church, and then came to trust Christ as my Savior later in a nondenominational church, then became a Baptist by doctrinal conviction at a yet later point, I have all of the bases covered in salvation.
Pastor Bo: Pastoring through the pandemic
Job 14:1 says, "Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble."
Pastor Bo: In the Bible and now, kids have plenty to teach us
I have always enjoyed teaching in a classroom setting.
