The Bible & Bacon
I was thinking the other day… Normally, when I say, “I was thinking the other day” out loud, my lovely bride Gayla might be tempted to interrupt me and attempt to distract me from whatever I was thinking about. That has been known to start a temporary fuss, which causes me to profusely apologize and promise never to do whatever it was that I had done and forget what I was thinking about.
So, this time, when I was thinking the other day, I didn’t mention to her that I was thinking. She did ask me if I was feeling alright. You see, sometimes when I am thinking, it kind of twists up my face. So, I told her my stomach was not right. What I didn’t tell her was that some bacon would undoubtedly heal up what was ailing me.
So I continued to think. Eventually, I kind of drifted off into the Old Testament. And the longer I thought about that the more I was glad I wasn’t born back then. After all, those folks had some very stringent dietary rules to follow. I got to thinking that was probably why those Pharisees were so cranky all of the time.
Before you dismiss this, just think about it for a bit (but don’t let your spouse see you doing that). Imagine not having bacon, ever. Imagine not being allowed to eat fried catfish. Imagine not enjoying a plate full of fried jumbo shrimp. Imagine, for goodness’ sake, not getting hot dogs.
I’m not talking about the wimpy kind of hot dog that promises to be all beef. I’m talking about those hot dogs that are so “flavorable” because they have things like chicken lips and hog snouts and cow ears in them. Hot dog flavor is just not some sort of weird culinary coincidence. It is solely based on how many untoward animal parts are included.
So, there I was thinking about having a half of a dozen pieces of bacon or 10. Then it dawned on me that we came close, really close, scarily close, to having those Old Testament dietary rules passed right on down to us. Perhaps you remember the story.
It is in Acts 10:9-15. Peter had gone up on the roof for a little nap. I have always thought my recliner was a better place for a nap than the roof, but that’s probably another story. Some of you would want to correct me and say Peter went up on that roof to pray. I would say my recliner was a better place to pray; then if I fell asleep while I was praying (don’t act like you have never done that before) I would already be in my recliner.
Anyway, Peter was on the roof. Then the Lord, in all of His mercy and grace let down this big sheet just full of all variety of animals and birds and lizards and such. I bet there was a hog in that sheet and probably a catfish flopping around. Then the Lord said something incredibly profound, “Arise, kill, and eat.” In other words, “Here it is Peter. Get after it.”
And then Peter did a most unexpected and dumb thing. He told the Lord no. Right there, we were that close to missing out on bacon. Thankfully, the Lord is generous and gives us second chances.
The sheet came down again. Peter said no. Thankfully, the Lord is generous and gives us third chances. The sheet came down again. But, Peter said no. In what is undeniable evidence that the Lord wanted us to have the blessing of bacon, the Lord just took the sheet up, took Peter out of the equation, and just took care of the situation Himself. And lo and behold, we now have bacon.
Is God good or what?
There are a couple of things to think about. For example, all good and perfect gifts come from above. That’s just not limited to food. Food or not, we sure ought to be thankful for those gifts. Second, when the Lord offers you something, for goodness’ sake, take it. Even if you didn’t want it, someone else might. Third, God is good. Like real good. Before you doze off tonight, you might thank Him for being that way.

DAVIS — The summer youth weeks at Falls Creek Conference Center and sessions at CrossTimbers Children’s Mission Adventure Camp in 2025 led to memories that will last a lifetime for all who attended. The spiritual impact made at Falls Creek and CrossTimbers will last for eternity.
At Falls Creek, there were more than 51,000 attendees during the eight weeks of youth camps. In total, there were 4,919 spiritual decisions made. This included 2,210 professions of faith, 153 assurances of salvation, 1,237 recommitments, 514 calls to ministry and 805 other decisions made.
From the first session to the last, the Gospel message was presented clearly each and every day. Falls Creek features eight one-week sessions and the camp pastors included: Garret Wagoner, Jeff DeGiacomo, Daniel Ritchie, Garry McNeill, Rusty Gunn, Jeremy Freeman, Shane Pruitt and Andy Blanks. Each pastor showed campers the gift that the Gospel brings and what it means to follow Jesus.
The Falls Creek theme for 2025 was “Level Up,” based on James 4:10, “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.” This focuses campers on how growth in the Christian life is more dependent on God’s work than our own effort. This theme challenged campers to take the posture of sacrifice, submission, selflessness and surrender to God.
Falls Creek Program Director Todd Sanders said, “For us to grow to be more like Christ we need to humble ourselves in submission, sacrificing to find contentment in Jesus, seeking unity with others through selflessness and completely surrendering to the Lord. I am grateful that leaders and churches make Falls Creek Youth Camp a part of their year. A week in the summer is prime time for growth. It is a privilege to take this journey with them. We are honored to serve to provide the best experience we can, seeing God do what only He can do.”
In addition to the main sermons, Falls Creek offered numerous breakout sessions so campers could enrich their faith. Staff particularly encourage campers to participate in global missions, which resulted in many missions conversations.
Since the first summer of Falls Creek in 1917 to this year, the youth camps have proven to be memorable and have an eternal impact.
CrossTimbers Children’s Mission Adventure Camp, which is designed for children who have completed grades three through six, also had a powerful spiritual impact. CrossTimbers saw a total of 454 decisions made, which included 313 professions of faith.
CrossTimbers exists to support local church efforts to reach lost children by placing a high priority on Scripture, worship, relationships with staff and church sponsors and opportunities for campers, and sponsors, to sharpen their skills and prepare to consistently serve God after camp.
Each of the 12 sessions of camp, held May 27-July 25, was structured into four days of intentional spiritual investment, focused on knowing God. Campers hear God is creator, eternal and powerful. Then they were challenged to ask those around them if they have heard about God.
CrossTimbers Program Director Sarah Hagar said, “When we learn who God is, hear His redemptive plan for our lives, and are given opportunities to respond, we get to see God change lives. After experiencing what God can do in our lives, we want to tell others.”
CrossTimbers educated campers on the evangelistic work that is occurring in Oklahoma, in America and around the world. This was accomplished through hands-on and interactive teaching times that included cultural practices, games, activities, crafts, language and food and drink tasting.
In addition to missions education, there were numerous other camp activities campers participated in, such as a ropes course, target sports and water activities. CrossTimbers staff provided a fun and safe environment at camp. In morning and evening, campers attended chapel services. Through corporate worship, led by the CrossTimbers staff worship team, and messages brought by the camp pastors, campers were lead to focus on the daily themes. This year’s camp pastors included: Charlie Blount, Caleb Glennie, Rob Dunning, Jacob Stewart, Curtis Barrett, Michael Staton, Seth Sandusky, David Skinner, Joey Dean, Jon Johnston, Corry Duncan, Kyle Henderson and DJ Walter.
Falls Creek and CrossTimbers are funded through the Cooperative Program.
Todd Fisher, Oklahoma Baptists’ executive directortreasurer, said “Thank you Oklahoma Baptist churches for making Falls Creek and CrossTimbers a reality. It’s impossible to calculate the full measure of all God has done in these places! To Him be the glory!”
The summer impact at Falls Creek and CrossTimbers was significant, notable—and eternal.
January through June 2025 Giving Report
Dear Oklahoma Baptists,
This calendar year, we are celebrating an important ministry milestone in the history of the Cooperative Program (CP)—the 100th birthday of the CP. We have learned over these 100 years that we truly can do more for the Kingdom of God together than we can apart.
The CP is the distinctive mark of Southern Baptists that enables us to fulfill the very reason we formed together as a convention in the first place: to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Your CP dollars have propelled important missions and ministry. Through the CP and Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, more than 1.6 million people around the world heard the gospel from missionaries now serving with the International Mission Board. Your CP giving also enhanced efforts in evangelism and church planting, and supported our six Southern Baptist seminaries.
When Oklahoma Baptist churches gave give, they supported ministries like Falls Creek and CrossTimbers, where thousands of young people hear the gospel and many came to faith in Christ. CP supports the vital mission of Baptist Collegiate Ministries on 39 campuses and Oklahoma Baptist Disaster Relief, as well as serving and supporting pastors and churches through special events and trainings. The gospel ministries of
Oklahoma Baptist University, Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children, Baptist Village Communities, and WatersEdge are also propelled through CP giving.
In the following pages, you can see a mid-year Cooperative Program report on Oklahoma Baptist churches giving from January through June. Together, we have advanced the Gospel in our state and around the world, and the Lord is using the generosity of you and every in church in our state convention, for His Kingdom and glory.
As we celebrate 100 years of the CP, allow me to express my deepest gratitude to you Oklahoma Baptists churches for your faithful, sacrificial giving through the CP. To God be the glory for the great things He is doing…
Serving Jesus with You,
Dr. Todd Fisher Executive Director-Treasurer Oklahoma Baptists
“To Him be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” – Ephesians 3:21
