Pastor Kemp's Blog

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

Jack beat his wife!

Posted on July 31, 2019 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

The truth can be used untruthfully. The truth can also be misunderstood. For example, I could report to you that “Jack beat his wife,” and be telling the exact truth. However, if I failed to mention that the context was Jack and his wife playing a game of Monopoly, I would be telling the truth … Continue reading →

The Key is to Quit

“If you must work long hours and nights for six weeks, it may mean some unusual business project came up.  Everyone can understand that. But if you work long hours and nights for six months, then you’ve made a crucial decision about what you value most in life.” Stephen Arterburn & Fred Stoeker, Every Man’s … Continue reading →

Ordinary Greatness

Posted on July 24, 2019 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

Don’t feel that every great work of God has to be something extraordinary. Most of God’s work is done in the ordinary.  Do what you do for God and do it well—let him determine whether or not it is great. The ONE THING for today: Greatness is often disguised in the most ordinary people and … Continue reading →

Psalm 139:7-10 (NKJV) 7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 Even … Continue reading →

I shall not criticize!

Posted on July 17, 2019 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

I promise you, there are far worse “word bombs” than four letter words.  At the top of the list is criticism.  Being critical is not a spiritual gift and it sure stinks up the place with negativity and lower morale.  If you don’t like something, change it.  If you can’t change it, change your attitude … Continue reading →

Saturday Preacher/Teacher Briefing

Thesis: The “Five-fold ministry” of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher is a good template to use in preparing your sermons.  There will be times that each gift will be needed in a congregation for them to fulfill Christ’s purpose for them.  A wise pastor will be sensitive to this and either allow the Holy … Continue reading →

Those painful backhanded compliments

Posted on July 10, 2019 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

You don’t have to insult the sun to complement the moon.  In the same way, you don’t have to complement a man and then tear him down at the same time.  I hear it all the time.  For example, someone says, “Ole Pastor Smith is a good preacher, but of course he’s not as good … Continue reading →
