I’m going to keep this brief, as I honestly could go on and on about it. I’ve grown increasingly concerned of late that my preaching and the response of my congregation has become a bit rote. Perhaps a better word would be “predictable.” This was confirmed for me back in February when I felt the Lord ask me to not plan… Read More
One of the verses I pray regularly for myself and those close to me is John 7:37-38: If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ John 7:37-38 I love this great promise and I find it to be a tremendous… Read More
It happened again this weekend. The moment I finished my message after one of our services I was approached by a woman who immediately started talking to me. She had taken issue with much of what I taught and wanted to correct me for my faulty teaching. There is nothing wrong with this woman’s motives. Pastors are quite capable of… Read More
Hello friends, Several of you have written to ask why I haven’t posted anything this year. I appreciate the concern and thought I’d write with a brief update. Since my dad died on December 12, I haven’t been able to write. I have many ideas that I’d like to write about, but I simply can’t yet muster the energy to… Read More
My dad died ten days ago. It was expected, not sudden. My sisters and I had many wonderful months to love on my dad and to say Good-Bye appropriately. I (we) left nothing unsaid, nothing on the table. I have no regrets. But still, even with all that preparation, when my dad took his last breath I felt as if… Read More
My father, Will D. Davis, passed away on Monday. My dad is and was my hero–husband, dad and grandad, statesman, public servant, elected official and kind gentleman. I’m sure I’ll be reflecting here on my dad’s impact and legacy in the future. My daughter Emily wrote this in honor of my dad. It of course moved me to tears. It… Read More

Two weeks ago, Susie and I married off our last child, Sara. It was an amazing event. Being a bonafide empty-nester now has caused me to do some reflecting, mainly on God’s goodness and mercy. Susie and I have been parents since 1986. We’ve somehow managed to raise three kids who love Jesus. What a blessing, especially given the war… Read More
God shapes the world by prayer. So said E.M. Bounds, the 19th Century Methodist circuit rider who left us quite a legacy in prayer. I have been a fan of Bounds, and others like him, for decades. I return to his writings frequently. They inspire me and remind me of what really matters most in God’s Kingdom. Friends, please forgive… Read More
