ASSUMING... We are all guilty of it. For example, you find a dog. He is skinny and unkept. He shies away from a touch. You think he must have been abused, he must have a bad owner. So you think, I will keep him and find him a better home. Whoops... guess what. The dog you found may have been dearly loved. Many dogs escape out the door with kids, for example. Dogs can look horrible only after a few days.

The world sees Christians differently than it did twenty years ago. We need to look no farther than the last presidential primaries to watch this truth play itself out.

Last Sunday I stepped back into the pulpit at Castalia Baptist Church for the first time since the last Sunday of 2018. My congregation was gracious enough to give me a 30-day sabbatical.
So upon my first Sunday back, I began preaching a series I've entitled "Living Life God's Way." Sunday morning I preached from the gospel of John 4:1-9. My sermon posed the question, "Where is God leading you?"

The Peachtree Baptist Church Congregation met on a very beautiful day last Sunday. God is good all the time.
The Sanctuary flower arrangement Sunday was presented to glorify God by Beverly Wilson in loving memory of all the Peachtree saints who have striven to follow God's purpose in our community for 210 years.
