Best of Walker Moore

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...

Today, I feel vindicated. I just read an article that the exclamation point was not put on a typewriter key until 1970. I graduated from high school in 1969. I think I have just figured out my problem. Mystery solved. In my formative years, how did I ever express my...

I have begun the process of preparing my tax return. I know that the Scriptures say, “give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s” (Luke 20:25). Since Caesar died on March 15, 44 BC, why do I need to keep on paying him? I understand giving to God—He is...

I have written before about my adventures in studying piano. Growing up in rural America, the last thing a young boy wanted to do was practice piano every day. There were hills to run, dogs to chase and baseball games to play. But my mom believed her sons’ education...

My wife and I got married in December. If you must choose a month to get married, don’t make it December. Not only did we get married in the month of December, but we got married five days before Christmas. If you must get married in December, don’t make it the week...

Baptists are funny people. It is well known that we love Jesus, the Bible and hate sin. And we are very passionate about reaching others with the Good News. But we are also odd ducks; we have the hardest time agreeing on what constitutes a sin. You might not know...

I was reading an older article that I had written almost eight years ago. It warmed my heart and reminded me of God’s love. So I thought I would share with you one more time. My grandson, Titus, is nearing the 11-month mark and has just exited the “Lie There and...
