Lincoln and Darwin

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, February 12, 2009

A number of writers have been drawing comparisons between Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin since both were born 200 years ago today. Here is my favorite so far, taken from the comments section of the Mere Comments weblog (scroll down to the 3rd comment after the article):Two men whose lives had great impact on the lives of millions, even billions…

Darwin and the Christian Faith

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, February 12, 2009

Today being the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, I thought I would pull together various resources relating to the creation-evolution controversy.

Noah’s Ark Update

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Yesterday while working on a new sermon, I ran across two articles about the great flood of Noah’s day (Genesis 6-8). The first one is called The Genesis Flood: An Interpretive Key to the Past. This concluding paragraph gives you a flavor for the whole article, which I highly recommend:Noah’s Flood must be given its proper place in the …

Rock Bottom Truth

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, April 22, 2008

We have just posted a new sermon called Rock Bottom Truth. Here’s an excerpt:When we read a verse like Jeremiah 29:11, we ought to ask ourselves, “What difference does being a Christian make?” We suffer as others suffer. We get sick, we face trouble, and we go through the full range of human experiences. A ...

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, April 18, 2008

Ben Stein’s new movie called Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed opens today in theaters across America. Because the movie dares to challenges the prevailing Darwinian orthodoxy that has a stranglehold on American education, it has already generated a great deal of discussion in the blogosphere. Predictably, the major ...

“How Can I Pray For You?”

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, April 17, 2008

“How can I pray for you?"When several friends asked that question during our visit to Chicago last weekend, I gave the same answer every time."Pray Philippians 1:9-11 for us."That’s Paul’s prayer for the Christians at Philippi. I discovered it when I preached a sermon series called Praying With Paul in 2003. Of ...

Two Fine Basset Hounds

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, May 25, 2007

Here’s a picture of two fine basset hounds taking a break during a hot Mississippi afternoon. The basset on the left is Gary, a fine hound that Nick and his friends at Samford purchased as a puppy in the fall of 2005. Gary is the reason we got Dudley. When Nick brought Gary over for Thanksgiving in 2005, he was just a ...

What is a Christian?

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, May 20, 2007

Last Sunday I preached at Calvary Baptist Church in Tupelo on What is a Christian? I actually started thinking about the topic when Al Sharpton stirred up a theological kerfuffle during a debate with atheist Christopher Hitchens. During one exchange he said something that seemed to imply that Mormons don’t believe in ...

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, September 18, 2006

Ajith Fernando has some penetrating words for preachers on the importance of taking sermon preparation seriously in his article called Passionate for God? Or addicted to mediocrity?
