I have been in Mississippi for the past five days speaking to churches and groups about Bridge Church at Perry. I enjoyed wonderful Southern hospitality, catfish and warm weather. My host for the time I was there was Carl Myers, Area Director of Missions for Pearl River Baptist Association. The folk...

You and I are engaged in a real battle, one of cosmic proportions. We know we are facing a real opponent because this world bears the bloody, painful scars of this conflict: war among nations, shattered lives, broken homes, suicide, rape, abuse, and immorality of every kind.

No it’s not the Atomic bomb or the Hydrogen bomb, but the tongue bomb. We’re quick to avoid murder, stealing, and drunkenness, but we often assassinate other people and leave destruction in our wake by the way we use our tongues. Husbands have stabbed their wives with words that are as sharp as ...

We saw over 50 adults, students, and children make a public decision to follow Christ through our weekend services and membership classes at Bridge Church during 2007. Why is that so important? One reason is that Bridge Church began in January of 2007 with 21 people meeting in our home. By the end o...
