Below is a link to the YouTube channel of Heritage Baptist Church in Smithville, Ohio, where I attend with my wonderful wife. As you know, Pastor Mike Alvis asked me to resume teaching the adult class and we have been looking at revival and our walk with Christ as we study ...

Psalm 19:7  The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.  The law of the Lord is a very broad phrase consisting of two streams of Divine Revelation. First, as the Psalmist has demonstrated, we have the visible heavens, and all the wonderful works of creation governed by the Word of God. Second, we have the Bible, Holy Spirit inspired scriptures composed of both the Old and New Testaments. Together, these may all be called the Law of the Lord and are given to instruct us, direct us, show us the straight and good way of life God has for all who trust Him. This is God’s system of instruction through which men are taught the knowledge of God and themselves, the knowledge of sin and salvation, and the knowledge of right worship and the worthy walk with Christ. Matthew 7:24-25  Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:...

  Good morning to all of our wonderful Readers.... This past Wednesday Pastor Alvis had me fill the pulpit while he was away. I spoke about the Biblical principles that shape and govern Godly or sacred music. It is audio only but I hope that each of you who can listen to it will be blessed by seeing these truths from the scriptures. Principles For Godly Music                                     October 7 2026 1. All of life is to be lived for the glory of God.   1 Chronicles 16:26-29 Psalm 29:1-2  A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 2  Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. Psalm 50:23  Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I ...

Psalm 19:1-3  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.  2  Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.  3  There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. We previously noted some of the amazing facts regarding how all of creation bears witness to the glory of the LORD. David tells us that all creation has an observable rhythm that governs all of life and creates the structure and predictability we need to live. Each day the sun comes up and each day the sun sets. Each night begins as the sun sets often with a blaze of glorious color on the clouds. Each night ends as a new dawn begins to illuminate the sky. This wonderful daily rhthym displays knowledge of the One, True God who made all things for His glory. Every plant and living creature on the planet is governed by the things that God spoke into existence. Genesis 1:5  And God called ...

Although the Biblical text telling us about Jotham is relatively scant, we also looked at one of the prophets who preached during this king's reign. Micah preached a message of impending judgment upon all the wicked nations. He...

Psalm 19:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.  David is the author of this majestic and beautiful Psalm that extolls the LORD and His Word. The first verse conveys powerful truth about creation and exposes the lies about evolutionary theories. The "heavens" include the atmospheric envelope that surrounds the earth, along with the vast expanse of space containing all stars, the sun, the moon and other galaxies. However, Paul wrote about the "third heaven" which is the abode of God. Since God is not bound or limited by the time, space and matter continuum, this third heaven is not like anything else that we know or observe. David begins by telling us that all the heavens declare the glory of God as Creator, Sustainer and Ruler of all created things. How do the heavens declare the glory of God in such an undeniable manner? Romans 1:18-20  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven...
