This week we have been basking in the fellowship, feasting on the ministry of the word, and singing our hearts out here at the GARBC Annual Conference. It has been sweet. Dan and Wes are with me and I have been praying that God would do in their hearts what He did in my heart when I was their age. My deepest desire for them is that they would desire to devote themselves to life-long allegiance to Jesus Christ and pour themselves out in His service for the rest of …

I do have a wife. This is a picture of her and our youngest daughter.

When Hannah was less than five years old she got a hold of one of my Bibles and made marks in it that looked like scribbling. I said, “Hannah, why did you scribble in my Bible?”
She said, “I didn’t scribble, I drew an angel, Daddy.”
I was not pleased at the time. But she did see me write in the Bible all the time. It was perfectly natural for her to write in it too. After looking at it I realized it was an angel, just a little one. That …

We are attending the annual conference of our fellowship of churches, the General Association of Regular Baptists on the campus of Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, Iowa. Last night Dan and Wes were a part of the teen sessions.
John Greening and Ken Floyd immediately inquired about our girls Kentucky Tour when they saw us, even though they were busy with preparations for the conference. There was a warm spirit of fellowship on the campus of Faith Baptist Bible College last night.
I sat with pastor and Mrs. Pyne, and Joe …

I love to gather people’s stories.
I was visiting one of our parishioners the other day. She told me about a time that she was having a kidney stone attack. She called her mother to take her to the emergency room. Her mother hurried over. They raced toward the hospital. Suddenly her mother slowed and said, “I need to get a cup of coffee.” She pulled into Duncan Donuts and ordered a cup of coffee then proceeded to the hospital so her daughter could seek treatment for her kidney …

Our daughters Holly, Heidi, Hannah, and Hope are singing this month in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky. Last week one of the places they sang was Pigeon Roost Community House of Prayer. It was a tiny, neat church hidden in the hills of Kentucky, hill after green, forested hill from a town of any size. The girls have become such flatlanders living in Michigan that they usually arrive at their engagements green as the surrounding mountains.
They recovered enough to sing. When they sang, each of the girls testified. When …

Keep your eye on this blog. Right now the Pierpont girls are on the Kentucky Mountain Parkway Tour. Holly is posting photos and stories. It is sweet to follow. Surf over and leave her a comment.

It is unpopular and uncommon in most churches in America to hear a message on Hell. I am going to preach on Hell Sunday morning. It would be a good service to invite people to if you care about their souls. Let’s admit it Hell is not a popular subject, so why would we preach on it? What good can come from preaching on Hell?
This should be answer enough: Jesus preached about Hell. Jesus had a lot to say about Hell. Why did he talk about Hell so much? …

My Dad has a tender heart. Lois took this beautiful picture of him while he was listening to the girls sing yesterday at his church. Lois said he kept wiping tears from his eyes as the girls sang and testified. The girls got to hear him preach twice yesterday. They tell me my grandfather once preached at Mt. Zion. That makes me want to preach there some day. That would make it about three churches and a camp where all three Kenneth Pierponts have preached. Maple Ave. Christian Union, Linnville …
