David C. Howard

The “Perspectives” podcast hosted by David Howard reflects the Gospel designed to address the needs and challenges of a contemporary culturally diverse multi-millennial audience. While our ethnicities and languages differ, those contrasts should not be, nor are they sufficient enough to separate us in our fellowship with one another. David during the course of his ministry has met people from around the world. In the course of establishing those very unique relationships it is understandable how

Who is this?

If the pillars of our faith are to hold true, if they are to steady us upon troubled seas, it is imperative thatwe truly know who "Jesus" is. What does his presence look like in our lives. Not in the all too familiar context of a warmhearted story that traditionally encapsulates Christmas and Easter, but rather knowing with the utmost assurance the reason for his coming, the significance of his life, the cost of redemption, and his enduring love towards us. Many may ask who is this, while

Good morning, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the class of 2024, and all the kindergarten through college graduates, on their academic success.Wishing you the absolute best in your future. In life we can be so wrong about so many things, in fact the longer I live, the more life I experience, that notion proves to be true often, when it comes to our presumptions, assumptions, and opinions. Likewise, there are times when we cannot always believe what our eyes may reveal, as they

I want to pause before I begin today’s message to salute the service and commitment of our servicemembers aswe celebrate Memorial Day this weekend. Warriors apprehend at some point in their lives they are unable to abide under their physical strength alone, but to endure it requires something far greater. Having been to war and suffered the hardships of life God has kept me through the promise of his word. In his eyes I have found grace. I am both careful and mindful of the words that I use in

Thank you for absolutely everything. . Is there anything greater, more beautiful than a mother’s love, to hear her voice, as she shares words of comfort and tender mercy. Is there a love that exceeds words unspoken, a purposeful glance, a gentle nod, or a well-timed wink, giving

Wherefore Shall I Complain?

Over the last few months I have attended four funerals, as I witnessed firsthand the grief and sorrow the families endured at the loss of their beloved. I listened to wonderful eulogies, acknowledgements, words of comfort, and invitations to Christian fellowship, and all with the exception of one sang the lyrics to the song by Reverend Paul Jones, titled “I Won’t Complain”, as he saysI've had some good daysI've had some hills to climbI've had some weary daysAnd some sleepless

No Confidence

2024/04/14

Throughout our lives, we are constantly pressured to be confident, self-sufficient, and be certain of our own abilities, depending on absolutely nothing or no one. Confidence enough in oneself to believe that we can do and accomplish anything we put our hearts and minds to, albeit innocent or ill intended. Given the ideal set ofcircumstances we can achieve and compete at the highest level and reach the pinnacle of life. A summit in which the view is simply amazing, patting ourselves on the back, in

I continue to keep you in my prayers and ask for yours as well as I seek to present with all humility what God has given unto me to share.

Succotash, of which I cannot spell, is the most insufferable complement to vegetables known to humanity. Whereasthe peas and carrots are pleasing, the dried tasteless texture of the lama beans make it unbearable, as I would do my best to purposefully separate them, and on occasion hide them in a napkin to inconspicuously throw them away. There are others such as “black” licorice that many find appealing, however I find it utterly deplorable, an offense to my taste buds. Most of us are aware of

Before we begin, I want to ask a special prayer on behalf of the James family on the loss of their mother, my aunt Mary. I ask that God give them comfort and peace in this moment. There is nothing more beautiful to behold than to witness, first-hand, the embodiment of God's grace and mercy. Someone that takes hold of the unbelievable nature of these two attributes. Mary Evelyn James was such. One who made a difference and touched the lives of so many, no matter where she was. As a passerby

There is no more impressive sight to behold than an aged tree, standing tall and picturesque in its magnificent glory. While others seem quite commonplace, like the trees and bushes in our yards, there are those that seem to have found a bit of immortality, archives of history. Yet, in all its luster, its life tellsa story of strength, power, and perseverance, as well as hardship, sorrow, and brokenness. We may find ourselves asking why God has chosen such, why has He separated this from all the

Before we begin this morning, I ask that we say a special prayer for a beloved friend of mine, Dick Williams. I had a chance to visit with he and his family this week, however his health has taken a negative turn. Scriptures Jonah 2:1-10, Psalm 121:1-8 Today’s message has only two scriptures, as they are used to address our needs in times of trouble, hardship, turmoil or when we have absolutely made a mess of things. They are “Jonah’s Prayer,” found in Chapter two and “the 121st Psalm,” both

I missed you all these last few weeks, as I was under the weather, and thank you for you continued prayers. Have you ever heard a song sung so beautifully that it gives you goose bumps (or as I had a friend from the south refer to as “chicken bumps”), or a melody so sweet, so deep that it brings you to tears. The utterance of every single syllable and word has meaning, depth and purpose. Such are the lyrics to the song, O’ Holy Night, as they mirror the unassuming, non-pretentious birth of a

We ask a special prayer for the McIntosh family, as we lost Mary at 4:30 p.m. last Sunday. Growing up we heard a lot about chivalry, the age of King Author and the Knights of the Round Table (however I don’t know why the table was round). We watched its depiction in Hollywood classics, as men would spread their coats across a puddle of water so that a damsel crossing the street would not get wet, just as well holding open doors and the slight tip of the hat were customary as well in what we

Certain Salvation

The principal tenants of our faith rest directly in our understanding of Salvation. It is not reserved for some but offered as a gift to all. Suppose I was to ask, to whom does salvation belong, we could rightly proclaim, with the greatest assurance, everyone. However, the most important answer that we can give has to be inclusive of us. When the role is called, scripture does not say that we are called en-masse, but each of us individually by name. Without this basic understanding, one of great

This past week has been full as I found myself moving from one event to another. As Tuesday arrived, I was exhausted, and finally had a chance to exhale. All our lives are full, I suppose … but we should take advantage of the days that God has so richly blessed us with. We may believe we hold the keys to life and death, exercise, eating healthy, drinking plenty of water, multi-vitamins, routine check-ups and screenings, and the like, as if we can freeze any moment in time, but we do not.

Have you ever wondered to yourself if you got this thing called, “Christianity,” right? We know its definition. We’ve heard others publicly declare to be. We can assume, I suppose, that it means to be Christ like. However, doing so would oversimplify the true depth of its meaning. Today, it is popular to say such, as it gains us access and privilege by doing so. Conversely, in times past, the period just after the crucifixion of Christ, those that proclaimed such were either persecuted or put to

Have you ever found yourself in a place in which the longer you stayed, the more perplexing it became. Where oftentimes what you learned in the beginning no longer applies or makes sense, because we’ve taken on, or added pointless layers of little or no consequence, that make what was ideally simplistic far more complex. My last two years in High School were such. As a mandated study requirement, we were required to take advanced math, such as Algebra II, Calculus, Trigonometry, and Statistics
