- Homemade Gods (37:08)
The only lasting cure for idolatry is a fervent love for God. The hardest step is seeing our idols in the first place.
- Empty on the Inside (38:18)
If you don’t know God, it’s not God’s fault. God has already done everything necessary for you to have a relationship with him. - He Doesn’t Need Your Help (35:53)
The gospel begins with God. It doesn’t begin with Jesus or with us. The divine plan of salvation begins with the God who designed it.

One of the Greatest “Garbage Picks” Ever
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, August 9, 2011
While going through a stack of mail this morning I read a letter from a prisoner in Illinois that powerfully illustrates why Keep Believing Ministries is committed to providing free copies of An Anchor for the Soul to prison ministries in the US.I am 35 years old and currently serving a 9-month sentence at Centralia Correctional Center.
Why Did the Lord Threaten to Kill Moses?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, August 12, 2011
This question comes from a strange incident in Exodus 4:24-26.At a lodging place on the way, the LORD met Moses and was about to kill him. But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said. So the LORD let him alone. (At that ti...
The First Brown Leaf
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, August 14, 2011
This afternoon I saw my first brown leaf.In a month or two the ground will be covered with withered, dead leaves. Today’s leaf was the first of many to come. In the Bible the withered leaf pictures both our sinfulness and our human frailty. “Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind.” (Is...

Is Tim Tebow a Blasphemer?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, August 16, 2011
Gregg Doyel thinks so.You don’t have to take my word for it. Doyel, national columnist for CBSSports.com, says so in his column called Unbelievable–Tebow Believes Faith Equates to Starting in the NFL. This is Doyel’s conclusion:Tebow has been a great billboard for Christianity – just as Muhammad Ali has been a great bil...
A Rudder, Not An Anchor
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, August 21, 2011
“May the past be a rudder, not an anchor."That’s what Joe Jordan said to Don Lough, Jr. as Don became the new Executive Director of Word of Life last Friday night.It was an apt metaphor.Leaders in every organization struggle to find the right balance between holding on to the past while moving into the future.Not long ago I heard ...

“The Help” Bears Witness to the Truth

As of August 23, the movie has earned $77 million, making it the sleeper hit of the summer.A friend called several days ago to ask how the movie is being received in Mississippi. I can tell you this much. When Marlene and I saw it last Friday nigh...
My 4037 Extremely Close Facebook Friends
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, August 26, 2011
In the beginning I was not a believer. At first I thought Facebook for was the kids, meaning the college-age crowd, which is in fact where it started out. Somewhat reluctantly I joined the Facebook revolution not quite two years ago. As of this moment, I have 4037 friends. That’s impressive, I suppose, until I look at the list and r...

Secret Baptism in Pakistan
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, August 29, 2011
Seven years ago Brian Bill, pastor of Pontiac (IL) Bible Church, sent a copy of An Anchor for the Soul to a young man in Pakistan. He never knew how the book was received (or even if it made it to Pakistan) until he received the following note a few days ago: Dear Pastor Bill. In 2004 you sent me a book about sin. That book and Bible...
When You’ve Been Fired
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, August 31, 2011
I talked with a man who was fired from his job in a public and painful way. This is what he said he learned from it.1. The only answer to bitterness is forgiveness. Not surprisingly, the man felt like the firing had not been handled well. I say “not surprisingly” because firings are rarely handled well, especially from the standpoint of...
