The ONE THING

The random ruminations of a man on the run. The goal is to run this race of life well, encouraging as many as I can along the way, and to eventually meet my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and thank Him for the trip. (I am also prone to shamelessly brag on my perfect grandchildren.)

The ONE THING for today

Why do you keep doing that?

Posted on December 27, 2016 by pastorkemp • 2 Comments

Whatever you do, don’t go into the New Year not knowing why you are doing what you do! Before you figure what you are going to do and how you are going to do it, for Heaven’s sake (literally) determine why you are going to do it. Why am I doing what I’m doing? This … Continue reading →

The most important week of 2017

Posted on December 26, 2016 by pastorkemp • 4 Comments

John 11:54 (NKJV) Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there remained with His disciples.   Sometimes the wisest thing you can do is call timeout. Every coach knows that even the best teams get overwhelmed sometimes.  … Continue reading →

A Christmas meditation: Evil

Posted on December 25, 2016 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

The argument of despair and cynicism goes something like this: (1)    An all-good God would defeat evil (2)    An all-powerful God can defeat evil (3)    Evil is not defeated (4)    Hence, there can be no such God   The answer of Christmas goes something like this: (1)    An all-good God would defeat evil (2)    An … Continue reading →

Christmas Meditation: Desire

Posted on December 23, 2016 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

“What do you want for Christmas?” That’s a question you hear a lot this time of the year.   But I’ve discovered that the longer Sonja and I live the harder it is for us to shop for each other.  Honestly, we lack for nothing we really need.  I have to pinch myself sometimes to see if … Continue reading →

A Christmas Meditation—Home

Posted on December 22, 2016 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

It was Robert Frost who coined the phrase: “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.” It’s a sad, sad day when you have no home to go to. There are more people in our great land than we’d like to admit that will find themselves … Continue reading →

A Christmas Meditation—Otherwise

My granddaughter Ella’s third Christmas was a special one.  She was old enough to begin appreciating what was going on around her.  If you’ve ever witnessed the joy reflected in the eyes of a child or grandchild of your own you know what I am talking about.  So on that Christmas Eve when Lee & … Continue reading →

Look for a face

I wish you could have been with Sonja and me a few day ago when we attended the South Carolina Church of God Home For Children Christmas banquet. We have always been supporters of the Home but actually seeing those little ones reminded me why. It’s one thing to support the Home because the Bible … Continue reading →

Replacement Theology

Posted on December 6, 2016 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

No, no, no! I’m not referring to the debate over God’s plan for modern day Israel; I’m referring to all the stuff you are going to get for Christmas this year. We all know that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus—God’s great gift to us. But somehow, Christmas has a way of becoming as … Continue reading →

Satisfying your curiosity

Posted on December 5, 2016 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

John 20:30-31 (NKJV) And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. Wouldn’t it have been a … Continue reading →
