S2 E50 - Food & Fellowship

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Tonight is full of anticipation, and that's because my three day men's golf trip begins tomorrow. 12 of us are headed to Tennessee to hit 72 holes over 3 days. But it's not about the golf, as we always say, "It's about the food and fellowship." I'm excited about this trip because of how I will bond with these men, and be encouraged by them. I won't remember the golf details, but I will remember our time spent together. Well...the first century church models for us the importance of spending time together in food & fellowship. That we not just merely worship together, but that

TRUTH, part 2: with Chris Kramer and Adam Shanks

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! This is the second half of my conversation on the topic of truth with Adam Shanks and Chris Kramer, two of several participants in the Balancing the Christian Life Lectures who will be appearing in this space in coming weeks. In these two segments we discuss what we think of Ron Wyatt and his outrageous claims, as well as spurious Biblical arguments in general; and the “Telephone” game so popular at gatherings of young people that turns out to have been triggering to one of my guests. We’ll start with what I’ve been playing. Hal Hammon

"Pastor" - Ralph Walker

Adam Shanks · Preach Impediments

In today's episode, I interview Ralph Walker about the word "pastor." As both an evangelist and a pastor, he has a fantastic understanding of the difference between the two roles and what the word pastor should mean for us today.

The Two Houses

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! In 1859 Charles Dickens wrote "A Tale of Two Cities" about the French Revolution of the late 1700's. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. If you lived anywhere near London or Paris, you knew what that meant. The world was filled with turmoil, different classes, and unpredictability. Dickens notes that it is always like that in every culture, and often within most people. Most people fight the power of both darkness and light, hope and despair, on an ongoing basis. Did you know it should not be that way wit

Psalm 55

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

OT events seemingly alluded to in this psalm. 55:9 seems to allude to the tower of Babel in Genesis 11:1-9. 55:9-11 The picture of the wickedness of the city is quite a contrast with Psalms. 46 and 48. 55:15 "Let them go down alive into Sheol" Numbers 16:30-33 NT and Psalm 55 55:22 Casting our care upon God is encouraged in I Peter 5:7. 55:23 God hurling the wicked to destruction is in Revelation 19:20-21 among other places. Jesus fulfills Psalm 55 55:2, 4 The word used in the main ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament translated "anguish" in vs. 4 is a word that is used to describe t

S2 E49 - It's A Scam

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail I am so done with Facebook marketplace and these other platforms. We are trying to sell our vehicle, but nearly every message is a dead end. They never answer, never show up, or low ball you. But the worst? The scammers. The one's that intentionally are out to deceive you and steal from the unsuspecting. Educating yourself about their tactics is essential. Well...the greatest con artist is Satan. We seeks to deceive and destroy us. However, we are not ignorant of his schemes. We must be alert and equipped, and in doing so, we can save our very souls from falling prey to his li

SECRETS: God's secrets. "The Circle." Introverts. Rear Window.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Are secrets good or bad? It probably depends on whether it is others’ secrets under consideration or your own. Knowledge may be power, but too much power can overload our circuitry. This week we will discuss the secrets God is keeping from us, whatever they may be; whether privacy is an inherently bad thing (and I can make the case); whether introverts can get to heaven — and if so, how; and how Alfred Hitchcock made his way to my game table. Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He

Breaking the Cycle

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! I'm really enjoying a new book, The Slight Edge, by Jeff Olson. I recommend it to you. It is purely secular but gives tremendous tips that believers can use in every part of life. His early material drives our study today. He speaks of a life cycle, a wavelength of living that falls to desperation, then goes up to stable, then back down again. Over and over again, up and down, but limited by sufficiency and never really attaining success. How do we break that cycle? There are two crucial keys to continuing the upward tren

S2 E48 - The Crazy Things We Do For Our Children

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail We have two toddlers and one on the way. So, why not get a puppy, that sounds completely sane...right? We are crazy. How we got this dog was crazy. We drove 5 1/2 hours each way up into Northern Ohio to get him on a whim. We didn't get home until well after midnight, and why? Because parents will do some crazy things for the children they love. Well...how much more so does God love his children? Is there anything more crazy than becoming a part of his own creation and subjecting himself even to the point of death? God's love is unfathomable. And if he didn't even spare us his

SILENCE: Authority. "The Autobiography of Charles Chaplin." Tinnitus. The Mind.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Is silence golden? Is it deadly? Is it nervous? Is it dramatic? As with everything else I seem to talk about, it depends on the context. This week we will discuss the role silence plays, if any, regarding authority; the greatest silent picture star of all time, and what he didn’t say; the thousand tiny triangles that play constantly between my ears; and your new favorite game that I’m here to make you hate. Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the host of the Citizen of Heaven

How You Finish

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Everybody has heard this phrase: "It is not how you start, it's how you finish." Do you believe this? And how does it make you feel about the rest of the life God will gift to you? So many of us define ourselves by what has happened, or even who we are now. But Christ has not yet returned. Our time with our family and friends is not yet over. What does that mean to you? Is it an optimistic, grateful feeling in your heart? We ought to look at time as a brilliant gift to make things better. It should never be seen as a curs
