We love the fall season, especially in Germany where we are. We are not far from the “Black Forest” and the turning of the leaves in our area is very pretty. This is the season of thankfulness even though we should practice thankfulness all the time. With that in our focus, we are learning at …
To say that our plans are always subject to change, is an understatement this month. We arrived back in southwest Florida in early September to begin the groundwork for the new sanctuary building at Mt. Ephraim Baptist Church. Before we could “put a shovel in the ground”, we had an unexpected visitor. Hurricane Ian made …
New Series on SalvationI am starting a new teaching series for five weeks on salvation. The purpose is to help people be sure of their salvation. Also, we need to be able to explain to others why we believe we are going to heaven when we pass from this life. Many times someone has raised …

Dear Pastor and Cornerstone Baptist Church, Psalm 121:1-3 “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
