Michael J. Brooks I didn’t intend to start a civil war that Sunday morning, so I carefully explained why I held an Auburn football helmet in my hand. I told the congregation that it was the story behind the helmet that I wished to share. A member of our church, Robert, displays the helmet in…
Cleaning the kitchen, scrubbing toilets and mopping floors often feels like an interruption to my schedule. And my attitude while doing these chores often shows, especially when I’m exhausted. One day, in the midst of a particularly grumpy time, God used an email to prick my conscience. One of my blog visitors emailed me saying,…
Michael J. Brooks A distraught parishioner stood at the doorway after a Sunday morning service. The pastor had just tendered his resignation, effective in 30 days, and he tried to comfort her. “Now, now, Gladys, God will take care of you and this church,†he said. “I’m sure the Lord will send you a pastor…
Do you know someone who reminds you of a broken doll that needs to be returned to the toy factory? So brokenhearted from their mess-ups that their spirits are crushed? Someone so ashamed because of their wrong choices that they can’t face anyone – even God? Is this how you would describe yourself? God understands…
Caleb Duncan I have a confession to make. I love some of the worst foods you can eat for your body. That’s right. Fried foods are my favorite. I have a few Little Debbies that hook me in, too. Oatmeal cream pies and Swiss rolls are so good. We keep them out of our house…

Such vast, widespread movements…
Michael J. Brooks Political primaries commence in January, and our state goes to the polls on “Super Tuesday,†March 5. Negative ads will appear. None of us like them, but political consultants insist they work; hence, they’ll be back. Pastors walk a fine line in political matters. Moral issues are “fair game,†though we try…
“Hi, Emma. I’m calling to see how you’re doing.†“I’m doing okay. Thanks for checking.†Her voice was somber but strong. “It’s been tough. My car broke down – again. But the kids and I prayed, and thankfully, I have a second interview with one of the companies I’ve applied with.†Almost a year ago,…
Caleb Duncan Charles Spurgeon is credited with the following quote: “I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the rock of ages.â€Â I loved this quote so much that I started researching online to see where it came from. I sent it to my wife in a text message. With love, she…
For almost 30 years, I struggled with clinical depression and suicidal thoughts. For 26 of those years, I was a born-again, Bible-believing Christian. Which means, off and on, for 26 years, I was what many would consider a spiritual oxymoron – a suicidal Christian.
