Be Still and Know

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, May 20, 2008

We have posted a new sermon called Be Still and Know. The sermon came in response to a question from a friend in China who wondered why God sent the terrible earthquake that took so many lives in the Sichuan province last week.

My Favorite Civil War Sites

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, November 19, 2007

For the last few weeks I’ve been devising in my mind my top ten favorite Civil War sites.

And they don’t have to be battlefields, just notable places connected to the Civil War. So here is ...

One thing is for sure. I’m no prophet. Before we moved, I told our friends that we would be moving to Mississippi for “four or five months, ...

One-Sentence Prayers

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, August 23, 2006

Recently I have been thinking about the prayers I pray, especially the one-sentence prayers that come so often to mind. These are “arrow prayers” that shoot from earth to heaven and reach the heart of God. If it seems odd to pray one-sentence prayers, I remind you that the Lord’s Prayer is essentially six short petiti ...
