    I arranged a solo guitar version of Amazing Grace for my church, I hope it lifts you up!

    I play piano and guitar at a small Southern Baptist church in Fairdale, KY called Cove Baptist. Stylistically the arrangement blends old-time and country with Appalachian music that can be found in the rural south USA. My hope is the music gives you peace during your devotional. God Bless

    Christian requirements

    This could be posted here or in the sub forum "sabbath and the Law." I do not think Christians required to keep the law meaning the old covenant. Christians are under a much different order for their life. For instance a Christian is said to have fruit in Gal 5:22-23. I maintain that fruit...

    All grace gospel and Hebrews 12:5,6

    So I'm fairly entrenched in the grace gospel camp (a step removed from full on universalism). I'm struggling to understand Hebrews 12:5,6 in light of grace: “And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not...

    As Darkness Falls.

    It should not be surprising to what’s happening in the world, and even though we know these things must happen; many may find it hard to make sense of the rapid changes occurring and that as Christians we face. It has come as a shock for some in the church and maybe there is a feeling of...

    Is time too short?

    Today I spent the time thinking that if I were to die today heaven would not be the place where I am going. Although Christ is who I profess as lord and I believe God raised him from the dead. I'm living in darkness (in my sin.) I'm so stubborn I don't want to give up my pleasurable youthful...

    The Prodigal Daughter

    The Prodigal Daughter Once, the land had sense of brilliance, the Province flourished, and the King wisely and supremely ruled. His daughter frolicked in her beauty, danced in her freedom, and lauded in her Father's embrace. The palace halls rang from the bells of her tambourine...

    My Views on Calvinism and Arminianism (From a 'Neitherist.')

    This is not meant to be a point of debate. I am just putting forth a hypothesis. This is not the Word of God. I am neither a Calvinist nor an Arminian, but embrace both soteriological standpoints in a paradoxical way. The Bible teaches both, I believe. I was wondering... since God is beyond...

    How Much is Enough?

    Hi everyone. I'll try to keep this brief to avoid the "wall of text" syndrome. Still, this is from the heart... My late dad was almost the stereotypical "puritan work ethic" sort. He almost didn't believe in God's grace, actually. The whole "saved by grace but kept by works" kind of thing. He...

    Grace and Truth

    Most people are either “grace people” or “truth people”. “Grace people” find it relatively easy to overlook faults and errors in others, to be patient and kind, and to be gentle. They tend to struggle if a situation calls for confrontation, correction, or bold proclamation. “Truth people”...

    The God Series. - Long-suffering.

    Long-suffering God said, “Where are you”? How many of us know that someone we have put our expectation in has purposely gone against our clear directives do we exercise patience; knowing they have no credible excuse or reason for their offense? For most of us, we would not only be angry but...
