Wednesday’s Column: Third’s Words It’s a jungle out there, so here’s some friendly reminders: We’re here for a short time, not a long time (James 4.14). God ultimately controls the outcome of November 3rd (Romans 13.1). This earth is fallen anyway and we’re looking forward to something way better (II Peter 3.10). We have […] “CalmContinue reading ““Calm Thyself” — The Preacher Pollard Blog”

Tuesday’s Column: Dale Mail Dale Pollard Some times it can feel like our life is a ship on the verge of breaking apart in a violent storm.

Monday’s Column: Neal At The Cross Neal Pollard While many today have no idea who Jesse Roper Mohorovic is, he was a celebrity from the moment of his birth on March 30, 1942, off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.

What is a witness […] ThingsContinue reading “Things We’d Never Sing, But Often Say — The Preacher Pollard Blog”

Tuesday’s Column: Dale Mail Dale Pollard The cost of leaving God’s presence is more than many fully realize.  It’s interesting how the phrase “away from the presence of the Lord” is used twice in Jonah 1:2-3.  Leading up to the second mention, the text states that Jonah “paid the fare.” In the very next verse […]Continue reading “The Price Of Flight — The Preacher Pollard Blog”

Monday’s Column: Neal at the Cross Neal Pollard I counted 96 people present for the singing at the Waddells’ home Friday night, sitting in our camping chairs in their beautiful backyard.
