2 Groups, 1 Night, 0 Reservations

You know that feeling you get when you just know that you’re missing something good and have no power to change it?  Well, I had that feeling driving up I-57 when the clock struck 7 P.M. – instead of sitting in the Marion Civic Center watching Triumphant Quartet and the Nelons, I was sitting in…

The Talley’s – Standing Room Only!

We would all agree that attending concerts is fun.  Music, laughter, and jokes from favorite artists encourage your spirit and push everyday worries to the back of your mind, allowing you to relax and enjoy a great time with other Believers.  On the other hand, there is nothing that can match attending a concert with…

Video – Our True Identity

Odd title, isn’t it?  Well, sometimes I think we get so caught up in the “religion” part of the Believer’s life, that we forget the “Person” whom it is centered around – the Lord Jesus Christ.  He is our true identity. I saw this video in my FaceBook feed one day and knew that it…

Valentine’s Part Four – Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Actions speak louder than words…we’re all familiar with that saying.  I’m sure everyone can think back to a time in their life when someone’s actions spoke volumes about their love that words wouldn’t be able to describe.  We could all stop right now and make a list of those moments.  Some would be long, others…

Valentine’s Part Three – God of Love Versus gods of Fear

An African Proverb reads – “It is better to be loved than feared.” Odd statement coming from Africa, isn’t it?  When we read about Africa don’t we read about superstition and fear?  When is the last time you heard the words “gods,” “Africa,” and “love” all in the same sentence?  Instead, we find tribes of…

Valentine’s Part Two – The Course of True Love

There is a quote from William Shakespeare that says: “The course of true love never did run smooth.” When we read the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation, without a shadow of a doubt we see that God loves people. Even though we’re sinful, careless and full of failure – He still loves every single human…

Valentine’s Part One – Yes, God Is Love, But…

…not without tremendous cost. Yes, the true course of love had a tremendous cost. Because we’re thinking about love this week, I’ll be referencing the cross a bit, so why don’t we go back and examine why the cross had to be? Think about it, since God is God, why did He have to suffer…

GIVE-A-WAY – It’s A Wonderful Life

One of my new year resolutions for this blog is to do a give-a-way every month. As you can see, I already failed miserably for January! So, let’s start off February right – and give away Legacy Five’s current project “A Wonderful Life.” The title song, written by Jim Brady is the first song on…

Legacy Five – The Finer Things In Life

When the temperature outside is in the lower 30’s there’s nothing like some good ole’ Southern Gospel Music to warm you up!  Legacy Five did just that in Mountain Home, Arkansas at the East Side Baptist Church.  This quartet, made up of Gus Gashes (tenor), Scott Fowler (lead), Scott Howard (baritone), Glenn Dustin (bass) and…
