- 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.

“The Help” Bears Witness to the Truth
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, August 25, 2011
I am not surprised that “The Help” has turned out to be a huge hit at the box office. 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...

Scattershooting hither and yon . . . *If you haven’t been to see “The Blind Side,” do it this week. The movie has been the surprise hit of the Christmas season and may end up at #1 in box office receipts after this weekend. *Sandra Bullock plays the strong-minded Leigh Anne Tuohy who along with her husband Sean took Michael O...
Saturday Sundries
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, May 30, 2009
It happened entirely by accident, but yesterday I watched Amazing Grace, the story of William Wilburforce, the man who led the fight to end slavery in the British Empire. Somehow I missed seeing it when the movie came out in 2007, but yesterday Marlene found it on TV and we watched it together. If you need some encouragement to believe in the power...
Taking Chance
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, February 22, 2009
Tonight Marlene and I watched Taking Chance, a brand-new HBO movie starring Kevin Bacon. Based on real-life events, “Taking Chance” tells how Lt. Col. Michael Strobl (Bacon), a volunteer military escort officer, accompanies the body of 19-year-old Marine Chance Phelps back to his hometown of Dubois, Wyoming....
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 ...

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 ...
A Restaurant, A Movie and a Very Decent Man
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, December 28, 2006
1) If you ever come to Gulf Shores, be sure to eat at Doc’s Seafood Shack in nearby Orange Beach. The sign out front says they have have the World’s Best Gumbo. With that kind of confidence, how could you resist? The place doesn’t exactly look like a shack; it’s more of a rundown, retro-50s kind of l ...

Should Evangelicals “Fast” From Politics?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, December 28, 2006
In light of the recent mid-term elections, should evangelicals take a two-year “fast” from being involved in politics?David Kuo says yes and offers two main reasons: 1) It turns off the people we’re trying to reach for Christ. 2) It doesn’t work anyway. He concludes his column with these words:We will have to wa ...
World Trade Center
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, August 12, 2006
Last night Marlene and I saw World Trade Center, the new movie from Oliver Stone about the rescue of two New York Port Authority policemen from the rubble of the Twin Towers on 9/11. Both of us were choked up by the end. I imagine that everyone who sees the movie will relive that awful day and will think about where they we ...

12:15 AM I'm supposed to be in bed by now, but I'm not, so I think I'll do my weblog entry right now. This is a big day for our family. Fifteen years ago today I became the pastor of Calvary Memorial Church. August 15, 1989, was a Tuesday morning. I remember walking into my office—the largest pastor's office I had eve...

Friday, Feburary 28, 2003
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, February 28, 2003
Friday, February 28 We arrived back in Oak Park late this evening, a little weary from the travel but glad for the time spent at Word of Life Florida. I ended up riding 102 miles on the bike I bought, then I turned it over to the conference center today. Last night I spoke at 10:30 PM to the students at the Bible Institute ...
