The Way I Hear It

Services Cancelled, Church in Session

Clock February 2 2010 by A. Shane Nixon
This just in . . . most of our NC Baptist churches have been affected by winter weather the past couple of weeks in one way or another. Ever notice that we are never prepared for bad weather? Oh, we think we are. We have been conditioned to make a bee line to the grocery store and get milk, eggs, and bread. I don’t think any of us ACTUALLY check to see if we have those things, and/or if we nee...

How to Handle Haiti

Clock January 18 2010 by A. Shane Nixon
I found myself wondering on the Sunday after the devastation in Haiti, how many preachers in our NC Baptist churches abandoned planned sermons or series to preach on the natural disaster. I wasn’t wondering out of judgment. I am not sure there is sufficient reason to abandon something one feels called to preach even in the event of such an event. But I am also not sure there isn’t, and so I was (a...

TGIF

Clock December 22 2009 by A. Shane Nixon

Not a Baptist? He Ought to Be

Clock December 2 2009 by A. Shane Nixon

He is the service manager at the car dealership that services my car. In the ...

Clock November 5 2009 by A. Shane Nixon
They say music charms the savage beast And I believe it's true Man's had it down thru history When he's had the blues He'd find a drum to beat on And a horn that he could blow You know it worked for the children of Israel at the walls of Jericho They brought the house down with a...REAL GOOD FEEL GOOD SONG. Those are the words to an old Country and Western tune by Mel McDaniel....

God doesn’t need your money

Norman Jameson

Snow and ice closed lots of church buildings last Sunday and unless I miss my guess, it kept a lot of checks from being written, as well. I could hear my pastor’s dentures hit the carpet a few years ago when I brought the “stewardship moment” during our church’s annual campaign. I opened up by saying, “Good news! God doesn’t need your money! Nothing you give, nor anything you hoard will keep G...
