  • With all thine heart

    Carolyn Smith here, George’s wife.  I asked permission of the editor to allow me to pre-empt my husband’s column this week in order to tell his readers that May 20 was the 60th anniversary of his ordination to the Gospel ministry.  

    We are so thankful that God has used him all these years and continues to do so, as he still pastors a church and continues to write this devotional column for three newspapers.

  • First Baptist Missionary on a Mission for God

    Last Saturday was the second Daughters of the King Luncheon and the event was held at First Baptist Hodgenville. On a cool windy day, women from the surrounding area made their way to First Baptist for the second luncheon sponsored by the Missionary Society of First Baptist. Everyone enjoyed fellowshipping with one another while Missionary members and friends were preparing for the luncheon.

  • Worship at the center

    Draw a circle that represents your life. At the very center should be our worship of God. Christ is to be the center on our heart’s throne.

  • Never lose vision

    This past week I had the opportunity to visit the eye doctor for my yearly eye exam. As I entered the office, I easily navigated the corridors that led to the examination room. Upon entering the room, everything changed as I removed my contact lenses. At that moment, my blindness became obvious. I struggled to judge depth and distance of surrounding objects, I could not see any details around me, and what once were obstacles easily avoided became obstacles to fall over.

  • A Word to the Ladies

    Every day is or should be Mother’s Day.  Since that is true, my remarks about mothers, Christian women and the Christian home will not be out of place even though the official Mother’s Day has come and gone for this year.

    All the artillery of hell has been pointed at the home.  The hell-hatched sins of immorality, adultery, abortion and many others inspired by the devil are aimed at the destruction of the family and home.

  • Gender and Godliness

    In between two major United States holidays, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, we would be wise to consider these God-assigned and defined roles. We might ask, why does God create us male and female? Why does He describe repeatedly our responsibilities in gender-based terms such as mother, father, husband, wife, son, and daughter?

  • “What Would Jesus Do?”: That is the Wrong Question

    Recently, I listened to a sermon that focused on how to deal with mean people. In it, the one preaching made a passing statement that “What Would Jesus Do?” has been a culturally successful slogan with very little biblical backing. The reality is that you and I cannot do what Jesus does, but rather can only do what Jesus would desire for us to do. Let’s look at the story of Jesus and Peter walking on the water and see what the proper question is.
