Ernest Lee loves to discuss theology. Two of his favorite people (John MacArthur & R.C. Sproul) to do that with are now with the Lord and they know all the answers. They both thought they did down here. It won’t be long before Ernest Lee joins them. I want to look at one subject of …

HONOR THY FATHER & MOTHER
The 5th commandment is “Honor thy father and thy mother.” It is about more than obeying your folks. It invoives showing respect, love, and care for parents, regardless of age or circumstances. It’s the first commandment with a ‘promise.’ You fulfill it and you will benefit. God will bless you if you honor your parents. …
PRAYER!
Praying for you! I will put you on my prayer list! Praying! Ernest Lee hears people respond with those comments on social media when someone experiences the loss of a family member, sickness, or some other trial or tribulation in their life.

Co-Exist
Ernest Lee was driving behind a car that had a bumper sticker that read- CO-EXIST. It had an Islamic crescent moon for the C, a peace sign for the O, the Hindu Om symbol for the E, a Star of David for the X, a pentacle for the dot of the I, a yin-yang symbol …
7 MOUNTAIN MANDATE?
Back in 1975, Ernest Lee went to a conference with Bill Bright and Francis Schaeffer, both Ernest Lee peers.

The other day one of his friends called him insensitive and intolerant because Ernest Lee believes Biblical marriage is between a woman and man. The friend said Ernest Lee’s lack of tolerance showed his ignorance of scripture …
RESOLVE!
Ole Ernest Lee ain’t one to make New Years resolutions because he recognizes he probably ain’t gonna follow up and keep them, but that don’t mean believers shouldn’t make them. In fact, they probably should do some soul searching each year and resolve to do better. Jonathan Edwards was a young man of 18 when …
LET GOD?
A popular phrase Ernest Lee hears is, “Let go and let God.” Carrie Underwood sang, “Jesus, take the wheel,” a kinda practical adaption of the phrase. Ernest Lee has a problem with the expression and here is why: (1) It puts man in control. It implies a man can have enough faith to deflect trouble. …
GOD CAN PAY FULL RETAIL!
Ernest Lee has known a bunch of preachers who believe businesses should give churches and padres a discount off the normal price. “Its for the Lord,” the beggar pleads with the merchant. “Our church is poor and can’t afford to pay the full price,” the mooch cries. Such action reveals an ignorance of both the …
