  • The Fall of The Busy Bee

    The Fall of The Busy Bee

    I had someone invite me to something recently. “I understand if you can’t come,” he said, “pastors are really busy.” What a sad commentary on the expectation that pastors don’t have time for people because of their schedules. There’s something wrong with that. I know, I know. There are sermons to prepare, office hours to…

  • Did God Know Adam Would Fall? Why Would He Let That Happen?

    Did God Know Adam Would Fall? Why Would He Let That Happen?

    Knowledge itself is a pretty interesting topic. Sometimes I wonder if it’s even possible to know anything at all. I’m part of a Facebook group in which people debate issues related to God’s existence, creation ex theos, and Darwinian evolution. In truth, there’s not much debating actually going on–just people posting pictures that don’t actually…

  • The Rapture Didn’t Happen, Now What?

    The Rapture Didn’t Happen, Now What?

    It was predicted that the Christian rapture would happen on September 23 or 24, 2025. Well, I am confident that Jesus knows me and has saved me, and I’m still here to write this. I even checked on Facebook to make sure I wasn’t left behind. I gave it a few extra days so I…

  • Introducing The New Andrew Paul Cannon Podcast

    Introducing The New Andrew Paul Cannon Podcast

    It’s not about me. It’s about iron sharpening iron. It’s been a while since I’ve done any serious podcasting. I’ve been out of the game since I did Blacktop Pulpit and Unraveled with my good friend, Ken Duffy, in Southeast Arizona. Well, God’s done some serious work in me since then. I quit the ministry.God…

  • Thoughts About Calling a New Pastor from Beyond the Local Church Walls; Conflict Prevention and Seeking the Local Church’s Good

    Thoughts About Calling a New Pastor from Beyond the Local Church Walls; Conflict Prevention and Seeking the Local Church’s Good

    Speaking about calling a new pastor from outside the congregation is very difficult to do in an expository way. “Outside hire” is a foreign concept to the New Testament and early church. The typical procedure was to appoint people from within a congregation who aspire to be pastors (cf. 1 Timothy 3:1). While it is…

  • Encouragement During This Time of Transition

    Encouragement During This Time of Transition

    I want to take a few moments and write a note of encouragement directly to my church family at GABC since the church is in a time of transition. Times of transition are interesting because no one really knows what’s next. No one knows what to expect in the coming months, let alone next week,…

  • The Source of Happiness and Blessing in Psalm 119

    The Source of Happiness and Blessing in Psalm 119

    In the first two stanzas of Psalm 119, we saw the psalmist reject his own selfish ways in favor of God’s ways because God’s ways are better. He came humbly to God, asked God to train him, and beseeched his Lord not to forsake him utterly. Stanzas 3 and 4 (ג , ד) sound very…

  • Thinking Biblically About the Alien, Man-Made Politics Aside

    Thinking Biblically About the Alien, Man-Made Politics Aside

    People always assume their agendas are correct and are quick to accuse people who don’t agree with them as being completely godless. Not many people today really try to understand someone else’s position. They simply draw caricatures and criticize those caricatures in ways that don’t actually help anyone. They only accomplish the heightening of other’s…

  • The Heart of True Praise: The Psalmist as Our Example in Psalm 119

    The Heart of True Praise: The Psalmist as Our Example in Psalm 119

    I believe Scripture is divinely inspired. Every human author, guided by the Holy Spirit, penned the only word that is profitable for “teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). In the inspiration of Scripture, God felt…

  • Is a Gay Christian a Contradiction?

    Is a Gay Christian a Contradiction?

    Is a gay Christian a contradiction? Yes, but not for the reason you might think. I recently saw someone post this graphic on social media and want to examine the claim it makes. I am a Christian. I am very conservative. I believe living in homosexuality is sinful. Let me be very clear, I do…
