Best of Walker Moore

Several years ago, I made the mistake of playing baseball with some teenagers. When it was my turn at bat, the students started chanting, "The old man is up, the old man is up," making fun of the difference in our ages.Every time a teenager teases me, I go to 2 Kings...

"Jesus Loves Me" is one of the first songs I can remember learning as a kid.You should have seen me-standing there in the front row of the preschool choir, my parents looking on with great anticipation. I was one of those little boys who wasn't afraid to lean back on...

I recently wrote an article stating that men should come with some kind of instruction manual so women could understand our fragile male persona. Since I am an equal opportunity writer, many of my male friends have asked me if I could provide similar instructions...

Wow, the Baptist Messenger has a new look. Knowing Baptists (of which I are one), a handful of people will write letters saying they like the old Baptist Messenger better-"If it was good for the apostles, it's good enough for me." Now, I am not a pessimist, and I...

I have begun the process of preparing my tax return. I know 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 B.C., why do I need to keep on paying him? I understand giving to God-He is still...

My youngest son has just finishing reading John Eldredge's Wild at Heart. I seldom recommend a book to my readers other than the Bible. I make an exception for this one. It clearly sets forth God's original intent when He designed men. Of course, the Enemy's deep...

Have you noticed that when people are trying to sell you something these days, they start quoting statistics? It's as though numerical data has suddenly become irrefutable. If you don't heed statistical wisdom, you will suffer from ingrown toenails, endure the...

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...
