Dr. Dave McCoy was a wonderful man of God that I not only had the pleasure of knowing on a ministry level, but on a personal level as well. The impact he has left on me is one that I will carry for the rest of my life. Before he passed away, I had the incredible opportunity to interview Dr. McCoy on the podcast (episode #64). I would encourage all listeners to go back and listen to that episode. This message is sure to be a tremendous blessing to your heart and will challenge you in your Christian life. "The choice is up to you!"

Here is another "Things I Think" episode! This episode is a completely different format than what we usually record on Sandy Creek Stirrings. In this episode, I share with you a few random thoughts that have been on my mind – some musings, some “ponderings”, some things that I have been meditating on. Like: - An under-used tool that many Christians don't make enough use of. - An Old Testament theme that I hope does not gain any further traction. - A practical way to thank the Lord and leave a blessing to your children. - A call to two altars... All these different things will be discussed in this episode – Things I Think: #2!

A big decision needs to be made - a career choice, a path to take, a place to move, a position to accept, a road to travel. Which way should I go? What should I do? Many times, Christians have been taught to look for a "sign" or lay out a "fleece" before making decisions. Yet, is this actually a Biblical necessity for making wise decisions? Should we follow Gideon's example and lay out a fleece? Join me in this episode as we dive into the subject of signs and fleeces!

In Luke 17, Jesus is approached by the Pharisees with a question of His coming kingdom. Jesus digs to the heart of the matter, telling them that they are looking for the wrong thing - He is the kingdom of God! After the discussion, He turns to His disciples and begins to tell them the timeline of His coming kingdom. At the end of this conversation, He brings up one of the most fascinating and under-studied verses of all Scripture: "Remember Lot's wife." Join me in this episode as we dive into the significance of Luke 17:32 and the pillar of salt.

This episode is a completely different format than anything we have ever done before on Sandy Creek Stirrings. In this episode, I share with you a few random thoughts that have been on my mind - some musings, some "ponderings", some things that I have been meditating on. Like: - Something that seems to be on the rise and is being more accepted. - Something that I don't hear enough about anymore. - Something that is seeming to be questioned more and more in today's world. - A reality that I have come to see about Fundamentalism. - And last but not least, the silent enemy in our ranks. All these different things will be discussed in this episode - Things I Think.

There is a difference between just being a "woman" and being a lady. Our culture - our modern generation - has lost manners, etiquette, and the general principles of being a lady. The way someone carries themself and their behavior is important - even according to the Bible. Join me in this episode for 10 PRACTICAL principles on how to be a lady.

I have the tremendous pleasure of playing a message for you entitled "Things That Are Different Are Not The Same". This message was preached many years ago by the late Dr. Curtis Hutson. Dr. Hutson was a giant of the faith, a wonderful man of God, and a tremendous preacher. The legacy which he has left behind to modern day Christians is one that should not be underestimated. I believe this to be one of the top messages a Christian should hear in their lifetime. May you be blessed by it!

What does the Bible have to say about the "Age of Accountability"? Is it a belief that we can back of from Scripture? Does God really take young children to Heaven who have never been saved? At what age does someone become accountable? Where do unborn babies go when they die? All these questions and more are answered in this episode!

The idea that men, who have been abandoned by their wives, can get remarried (Biblically) is a more common thought than some may realize. Some pull thoughts out of 1 Corinthians 7 and other passages to support their premise on the subject. But, is it true? Does 1 Corinthians 7 present a second way that someone can get remarried in a godly fashion? What is this passage actually saying? Is this Biblical? Listen to this episode to find out more! Divorce and remarriage is never an easy subject to talk about. Though the subject should be dealt with delicately and truthfully, the Bible gives us all the answers we need on the subject. This is something that the Word of God is extremely clear on!
