Good afternoon friends. We had a wonderful day of services here at Higgins Lake Baptist Church yesterday. The worship in both services, morning and evening, was moving. Carolyn and I and the children also had a precious day, like many we’ve had since we arrived here in February that was a huge encouragement.
Teach the Truth – 1 Timothy 4:1-6
John MacArthur tells of a “pastor of a very well-known Bible church, one that taught the Word of God. Today he is a denier of the deity of Jesus Christ. He is a professor at USC, one who does everything he can to turn young people away from Christianity. He also falls into the category […]
Wandering Aimlessly
This past week was absolutely gorgeous here at Higgins Lake. The colors here in the north are still brilliant. We had a wonderful week of pleasantly warm weather though this week is supposed to be a bit cooler. I don’t remember ever seeing a better display of color than I have in the last few […]

Goodbyes
It’s a beautiful autumn Monday here at Higgins Lake, Michigan. The air is crisp, the sun is shining (occasionally) and the scent in the air tells me the leaves are beginning to turn. I love the sweet scent of early autumn. We may even build our first fire in the wood stove today. We begin […]

We’ve been studying Genesis on Sunday evenings recently. Last night we spoke of the account of Noah’s loss of control and nakedness as a result of his drunkenness (Genesis 9:20-29). It is encouraging to note that in spite of Ham’s disrespect for his father his brothers Shem and Japheth showed self-restraint and modesty.
