What would it look like to get a letter in the mail from Jesus?

Tulsa Beacon

I don’t why or when I started doing this. I don’t even think about it. I have always signed my emails, letters, and other correspondence by writing, “Your Servant, Walker Moore.” Some have remarked that my letter closing is odd. Some have said I am not their servant. My attraction to our “servant Jesus” is…

As a boy, I always wanted my role to be the closest to Jesus

Tulsa Beacon

It is about the time of year when churches begin planning their annual Christmas programs. Music has been selected, scripts have been written, and all that remains is casting the parts and starting rehearsals. These programs have given us some of the best times in the lives of our family members. For years, both of…

Cohen the Goodhearted made a great speech in his class

Tulsa Beacon

You never known how your kids are going to do when you send them off to the first day of school. The first day of kindergarten will often cast your child’s position until they graduate. That child could be cast in the role as the smart one, the pretty one, the athletic one, the class…

Explore all the possibilities when you are asked a question

Tulsa Beacon

I was attending Bible college (I know some of you longtime readers are surprised that I studied the Bible, but it’s true), I had to take a class called “Christian Milieu.” It was taught by one of the most feared teachers in our school, Dr. Richard Land. Since I am a country boy, I had…

English is spoken differently in Connecticut than Georgia

Tulsa Beacon

As you know, I am a missionary who works with many different language groups. I am very comfortable sitting in a meeting where multiple languages are spoken. For the most part, I can follow all the conversations. Yet I have the hardest time understanding English dialects from different regions of the United States! Recently, I…

In a storm, we march in the middle to rescue the perishing

Tulsa Beacon

I was sitting in my chair as the message scrolled across the bottom of our television screen. A major storm was moving into Tulsa. Accompanying this storm were torrential rains and winds up to 60 mph.  The meteorologist began giving minute by minute updates, warning that in approximately 15 minutes, the storm would hit the…

My hometown had a Ku-Ku, a Dog n Suds and my church

Tulsa Beacon

I spent my teenage years in Chillicothe, Missouri. I lived there during the “Happy Days” era of our culture. The town was perfect for teenagers. On the north end of town was the Ku-Ku hamburger joint. There were over 200 of them during the ’60s. Most of these restaurants were in the shape of a…

Jesus is proud of a church who is busy doing the Lord’s work

Tulsa Beacon

I know of a church. I know of a church whose membership is small, with very little in its coffers, but what this church does well is reflect Jesus to its community. It is an eclectic group that consists of people from those who are homeless to businessmen and educators, some single and others married…

My Godly Mother loved Jesus and selling Tupperware

Tulsa Beacon

My mom was an evangelist. Her first love was Jesus. She was always promoting Jesus, sharing Jesus, teaching others about Jesus and walking out Jesus’ life in front of others. Next to Jesus, though, she loved Tupperware. I am not sure what the attraction was. but if you weren’t interested in Jesus, she would point…

Why not place your gift of musical talent at the cross?

Tulsa Beacon

As my wife and I drove by one of those big-box stores (the one that has a big red bullseye mounted on its wall), my wife told me she needed to pick up a few things. I got out of the car and heard music in the air. At first, I thought someone had their…
