http://theshortpreacher.blogspot.com/p/who-is-short-preacher.html

About the Short Preacher. About the Short Preacher. Taylor Sandlin. Also known as "My Little Preacher" by several senior women in the church. I have a beautiful wife, a precious daughter, a joy filled son, and a two small dogs. In San Angelo, TX. Well, that's really none of your business, but let's just say Zacchaeus. Has always been one of my favorite Bible characters. When I was sixteen at First Baptist Church, Texarkana. I was so nervous, I never actually read the scripture text. That's a helpful star...

Thursday, December 4, 2008. Dr Frank Pollard passes away. Dr Frank Pollard died this past Sunday at the age of 72. Dr. Pollard was one of my preaching professors at Truett. Well said, Taylor. He was a gifted man, used by God for many years. He was even a writer of poetry, which he would share from time to time. I also feel blessed to have sat under his wisdom from the pulpit.

Thursday, February 12, 2015. Friendship is a sheltering tree". This week, Southland celebrates the life of two wonderful men, Lonny Whitehorn. Sitting with both of these families this week, I’ve been reminded once again that more than anything else, life is about relationships. Family, friendship, community these are gifts from God. They’re what make life worthwhile. Both Lonny and Dwain blessed our faith community through friendships they developed. We are grateful to have called them our friends. My fr...

We modern, western folks are not so good at lamentation. In his book, Leap Over A Wall. Us, with the impersonal so that we lose the capacity to deal with the personal details and intimate feelings of loss.".

Between Sundays: You don't know what it's like to be me.

http://pastor-taylor.blogspot.com/2014/12/you-dont-know-what-its-like-to-be-me.html

Thursday, December 4, 2014. You don't know what it's like to be me. At about the same time around thirty of us gathered for our weekly ritual of Bible study in a small classroom at Southland Baptist Church. We had our Bibles open to Job 9 and discovered that Christmas celebrations and protests over injustice may have more in common than we realize. God is not a man like me – someone I could answer –. So that we could come together in court. Oh, that there was a mediator between us;. At Christmas, God ans...

Between Sundays: Do you share the Almighty's zipcode?

http://pastor-taylor.blogspot.com/2014/07/do-you-share-almightys-zipcode.html

Thursday, July 17, 2014. Do you share the Almighty's zipcode? Right now in our country, a debate is raging concerning who belongs within the borders of our nation. While the answer to that question is more complex than most of the sound bites we hear on the news, it has me thinking about a discussion Jesus once had with a young religious man in Luke 10:25-37 concerning who belonged in the kingdom of God. The man started the conversation by asking Jesus “What must I do to inherit eternal life? 8221; It wa...
