The Kingsmen – “1686 Pounds of Gospel” (1974)
The Kingsmen were known as “The Ton of Fun” back in the day…and they highlight that fact with this 1974 release! Living in the shadow of “Big & Live”, this is a forgotten gem by the guys. Check it out…

Concert Review: Sounds of Jericho and The Sheltons (Oakwood, GA)
Several weeks ago, I was very pleased to attend a concert at First Baptist Church in Oakwood, Georgia featuring Sounds of Jericho and The Sheltons. The concert was supposed to include another quartet and a soloist, but circumstances prevented their appearing. While I...

That They May Go Further
This morning at church, a young man led the congregation in a time of organized prayer. He started by having us pray quietly by ourselves. Then he suggested that we get together in groups of two or three to pray specifically for the church leaders, the church body,...
Are You Really Beautiful?
Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very...
Are You Ready?
I awoke this morning to the news of Les Beasley's death. This got me thinking about Heaven and what a wonderful promise that this life is not all there is. No wonder those who don't know the Lord weep as those who have no hope. After all, that is truly how they are:...

Obedience Is Not Impossible
One of my brother's favorite hashtags is #ReadOldDeadGuys. There is a lot of truth in that, as it is hard to find modern-day authors who hold to the truth of the Bible and challenge others to do the same. In the words of Rodney Griffin, I miss preachers who will "tell...
Happy New Year 2022!
My brother and I just returned home after dropping our sister off at the airport. She arrived here on Christmas afternoon, and it was a blessing to have her for so long. Because of her visit, though, I haven't had a lot of time to do my end-of-the-year pondering. I...
So Much to Thank Him For
I saw a Facebook post asking people to share their favorite Thanksgiving song. The first song that popped into my mind was "So Much to Thank Him For" which the Spencers and others have recorded. This is a song I intentionally play this time of year and it's also a...
Are You Growing?
If you've ever commented to a child how much they have grown since you last saw them, you probably saw them beam. Every child wants to get bigger and stronger and, although they don't realize they are growing as they go through their days, they love the realization...
