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...

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, May 3, 2011
You never know where you’ll find some spiritual insight.I found it while watching former NBA superstar Charles Barkley pontificate during the halftime of a basketball game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Memphis Grizzlies. In this particular first-round playoff matchup, the Spurs were overwhelming favorites since they were the #1 seed i...

Tim Tebow’s Super Bowl Ad
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, February 6, 2010
By now virtually the whole world knows that Tim Tebow and his mother will be featured in a 30-second ad appearing during the first quarter of the Super Bowl. The ad itself is sponsored by Focus on the Family and cost around $3 million. What message could be so important that supporters quickly raised the three million dollars? And why has the ad sp...

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, February 2, 2010

I’m back home in Tupelo after a whirlwind trip to Toronto for an appearance on “100 Huntley Street” this morning. Special Thanks to Doug Campbell of Canadian Christian Tours for picking me up. Ironically I think Toronto was warmer than Tupelo, partly because we have “moist” cold here compared with “dry” cold in Canada ...

Super Bowl XLl—It’s All About the Food
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, January 31, 2007
Last night I went to bed thinking about the Super Bowl, which is something that hasn’t happened in a long time. In the last few years, I’ve watched the game but not with a lot of interest. This year is different, however, and I am in fact torn between the Bears and the Colts. Mostly, maybe entirely, I’m fo ...
Big Dreams and Small Victories
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, January 30, 2007
A few days ago a friend emailed me with the news that he has accepted a call to pastor a church in the suburbs of a great American city. Already his home is on the market, and he plans to begin his ministry in his new church in the next few weeks. I could hear the excitement as he wrote about the opportunities for outreach ...
Day 3 at WOLBI
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, February 2, 2006
The week is just rushing along. This morning I lectured for three hours on Galatians 3-4. Every year I find the student body is a little bit different. A few years ago we had a really boisterous group that liked to talk and sing and banter with me. This year’s group seems very attentive and studious. They come in to t ...
Anchor for China Update
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, January 28, 2006
A few years ago, at the request of a group of evangelical leaders, I wrote a book called An Anchor for the Soul. It’s a very simple presentation of the gospel, mainly for people without much Bible knowledge, written in “Wal-Mart English” so it is easy to understand. The book has had wide distribution at Ground Zero in ...
