The Tulsa Beacon

 

Walker Moore

It’s amazing to see God weave through our circumstances

Tulsa Beacon

For years, people have asked me if they can download my sermons, teachings or lessons. To be honest with you, I don’t like to hear myself talk. I am dyslexic in my writing, and my speaking reflects it even more. I cringe when I hear myself butchering the English language; I come away embarrassed. If…

I am challenged to be an evangelist like the shoe evangelist

Tulsa Beacon

Several years ago I had to fly to Tampa to tape a television show. After I finished, I had the joy of meeting up with two of our missionary alumni. We decided to meet at the food court at a mall located near the airport. The luncheon was at 1:00, and I was finished taping…

An abrupt ending is followed by the new Back 40 Ministries

Tulsa Beacon

You might have noticed that the headings on my articles have been blank for a few weeks; I have been in transition. The year 2021 ended in a struggle for me. The ministry I started 28 years ago voted me out and gave me a short time to move out of my office. It was…

In many ways, it seems that life can be a lot like a carnival

Tulsa Beacon

If you have been one of my Baptist Messenger  (or Tulsa Beacon) readers for any length of time, you know that I have a love for carnivals. My grandmother was a carnie, so I guess you could say it’s in my blood. Every year, I return to serve as a chaplain at the Tulsa State…

That seventh word is one that is the hardest to discover

Tulsa Beacon

The first six words of this article are the easiest: “Rite of Passage by Walker Moore.” I always begin by writing these six words each week and then pause, waiting to see what my fingers will do next. I wait and wait, and on most occasions, I sit here stuck, staring into nothingness. If I…

The Yada Hoodies Detective Agency: The Case of the Blue Zsebek Monster

Tulsa Beacon

“Wake up! Wake up!” said Tito, as he shook his younger brothers, Coco and Rio. “We have a mystery to solve!” “Whaaat?” said Rio, the youngest of the three, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. “What are you talking about?” “Look!” said Tito as he pointed to a pile of clothes, stacked high in…

The antiquated Yellow Pages never had all of the answers

Tulsa Beacon

I got home the other day and there on my front porch, wrapped in plastic, was a copy of the Yellow Pages. Do you remember when you had to load up the trunk of my car with unused copies and haul them off to the recycling bin. If I knew where my delivery person lived,…

It’s truly a great day when you allow Jesus Christ to ‘fix’ you

Tulsa Beacon

My oldest grandson, Titus the Honorable, is 8 years old. He has been an odd child since birth. Now, “odd” can be interpreted two ways. It can mean strange, or it can represent a set of numbers. We have even numbers, and we have odd numbers. Neither one is better than the other. I am…

Everything that Jesus will offer you is absolutely genuine

Tulsa Beacon

‘I am the oldest of four boys. The next to the oldest of these four boys is my younger brother Gary. Gary has spent most of his life in law enforcement and recently retired from the Missouri State Highway Patrol. He has had many positions, but the one I get the most joy out of…

These are two relationships that can be difficult to describe

Tulsa Beacon

Our oldest yada hoodie, Titus the Honorable, is on a second-grade soccer team. I think it’s on page 327 of the “Grandparenting Manual” that grandparents are required to attend “any sport, any school function, any church activity, or social gathering, where said grandchild participates.” I didn’t know this, but recently our grandsons informed us that…
