David’s Ponderings

“Brethren I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before…” Phil. 3:13 There are many pressures in life. Some pressure that destroys, some that build us up. We can appreciate the value of pressure when we see a tourniquet stopping the flow of…

David’s Ponderings

April, 2014 “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22 Well I guess all of us have caught a little Spring fever over the last couple of weeks. The winter is almost over and we can begin to see a hint of green on the mountain side. We…

Pastor’s Ponderings

       “But now hath God set the members everyone of them in the body, as it hath pleased Him.”                                                                                            1 Cor. 12:18    Well it seems that finally Spring has decided to make an appearance in beautiful down town Todd.  I thought it was never going to happen.  But God is still on the throne and the seasons still change. …

David Cooper has been called as our minister of youth, outreach, and missions.  He and his wife Sandy will be moving to Todd during the month of May and will assume their duties here the first of June.  I am excited to see…

Pastor’s Ponderings

Pastor’s Ponderings “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.”                                         Philippians 1:3      As we come to the end of 2012 and begin to reflect on the past year my heart is filled with thanksgiving.  I remember the radical commitments that so many of you made as we began 2012 and completed our study of David Platt’s book “Radical.”  So…

Pastor’s Ponderings

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. . . .      Isa. 9:6       My most favorite season of the year is Christmas.  I love everything about it.  The music lifts my spirits.  The sights brighten up the normally drab and gloomy land scape.  The many wonderful smells conjure up so very many childhood memories.  The old…

Pastor’s Ponderings

     “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness: by his wounds (strips KJV) you have been healed.”                                                                                                     I Peter 2: 24     Thursday night as Barbara and I drove to the semi-annual associational meeting at Brushy Fork Baptist Church my cell phone rang.  On the…

Pastor’s Ponderings

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.                                                     Matt. 5:15      One of Barbara’s favorite things is light houses.  She has them all over our home, in the yard, on the car, big ones, little ones, lighted ones, etc.  All kinds and…

Pastor’s Ponderings

 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.  In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”                                                                                John 16: 33        “In this world ye shall have tribulation.”  It seems that this statement is as true today as it has ever been – maybe even more…
