The Tulsa Beacon

 

Walker Moore

It be bad, God is always reaching out to us, we matter to Him

Tulsa Beacon

If you want to get on my good side, take me out for either barbecue or Mexican food. I have strong opinions about both. I believe some of the best Mexican food comes from those tiny Mom and Pop restaurants. When you realize the waiter and the cook are the same person, your tongue knows…

The Alphabetical B-I-B-L-E, the incredible Word of God

Tulsa Beacon

I am thinking about designing a new study Bible. I see these popular Bibles in bookstores: men’s study Bibles, women’s study Bibles, second coming study Bibles and the list goes on. I want to put together the Alphabetical Bible, one with all the books in alphabetical order. I have seen people struggling when our pastor…

Jesus can identify with our ‘owies’ and have empathy for us

Tulsa Beacon

Today, I’ve been sitting at my computer and thinking. But I’m not good at sitting. I want to be out and about, interacting with people. And I’m really not good at thinking. Do you know how hard it is and how much energy it takes? It’s probably a good thing I’m sitting while I’m thinking….

Vacation time goals – relationship, rest and remembering God

Tulsa Beacon

I know many of you are thinking of, planning or dreaming of a vacation. No matter what, don’t do your vacations the way we did when I was growing up. Our vacations were more like an endurance test than a time of rest and relaxation. Basically, our family went on vacation whether we enjoyed it…

The Crowd can divert us from our desire to reach out to Jesus

Tulsa Beacon

It was an amazing sight. People waiting in line for hours. Strangers talking to strangers, sharing their stories. Everyone was waiting for one man. They had set up a stage up for this man, and groupies had packed in tightly, hoping they could touch him. As he walked out on the catwalk, a guitar slung…

You can learn God’s lessons anywhere, even at Wal-Mart

Tulsa Beacon

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer” (Rom. 12:12). I must confess that one of my weaknesses is a lack of patience. I think I am fairly good with the hope thing, and the faith things is pretty strong in my life, but that middle one, patience, gets me every time. For…

God Bless the Country Churches and their PARTS!

Tulsa Beacon

And He said to them, “Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?” (Luke 2:49, NASB) I was reared in a good ole country church called Six Mile Baptist. You have seen churches just like it: gravel driveway and parking lot,…

Have you hugged your toilet? Maybe you should call the plumber

Tulsa Beacon

I consider myself somewhat of a handyman. In high school, I took five years of shop— one of the few classes in which I excelled. Growing up around a farm, I learned to do some carpentry and mechanical work. Besides that, I am a proud owner of the Reader’s Digest “Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual “, 1973…

Steak and Shake a great birthday from a loving father

Tulsa Beacon

I can remember the day—August 4—but not the year. All I know is that my sons were in elementary school. Somehow, the older I get, the more those years get confused. I will say to Jeremiah or Caleb, “Do you remember when you hit a home run in the third grade?” and he will say,…

How we use our time shows what we treasure in life

Tulsa Beacon

Time is a beast that will either chase you toward or away from the better things. When I was young, television was just coming into its own. I spent the early part of my life listening to the radio. To this day, I would rather listen to the radio than watch television. With the radio…
