What Does Change Look Like?

Today is January 31, 2011.  Already one month of this year is closing, and tomorrow night, the Men’s Ministry at Saks Baptist Church will tackle the next topic from our series “Raising the Bar – Build Your Capacity . . .” Tomorrow night I will challenge the men to take up another area in their [...]

Great Expectations

by John Bagwell on January 29, 2011 · 0 comments

One of the greater laments of Christian men today, both single and married, is that the Christian female has expectations that are way too high.  This lament is repeated over and over in various ways in a blog I recently read HERE in an article written by A.J. Kiesling. The question springs to my mind, [...]

Brainwashed

by John Bagwell on January 28, 2011 · 1 comment

Every time someone with a liberal, anti-Christian world view asks me a question, and I respond with a Bible verse or some spiritual application from the Bible, here’s the spiel I usually get in return: “Just what I’d expect to hear from a brainwashed Jesus freak” or some derivation that strikes against my freely chosen [...]

Courage to Go Deeper

by John Bagwell on January 27, 2011 · 0 comments

I’m not exactly what you would call a claustrophobic guy, but the whole idea of spelunking has absolutely no appeal to me what-so-ever. For those of you who don’t know what spelunking is, the idea is to go into a cave so deep a cell phone will never stand a chance of working.  You go [...]

The Value of a Good Name

by John Bagwell on January 26, 2011 · 0 comments

Proverbs 22:1 “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.” If you click on one of the tabs above labeled “Influences” and scroll down, you will see a man by the name of P.A. Duncan.  He is the sole proprietor of Duncan Automotive in [...]

Worth Making Time

by John Bagwell on January 25, 2011 · 0 comments

Ever notice how problems in life do not line up all nice and neat for you in any kind of index or alphabetical order?  Just living your life from day to day is full of problems that must be solved and issues that must be dealt with.  Mostly it seems like there are problems at [...]

Cool Drink of Water

by John Bagwell on January 24, 2011 · 0 comments

I remember growing up in Texas where the sun would beat down on the pavement and make it so hot you really could fry an egg on the sidewalk.  Of course it wouldn’t sizzle like on a grill, but after a while it would be cooked all the way through.  Not that anyone would want [...]

T R A P P E D !

There are many different kinds of traps out there.   They can be somewhat complex, or very simple in design.  There are traps for many different kinds of animals, and for very good reason.  Ever see anyone catch an elephant with a mouse trap?  How about someone trying to catch a mouse with a bear [...]
