I found a free downloadable mp3 version this morning relatively easy by googling "Come Back Home Bobby Goldsboro." I play it every week. It still has the same punch for me that it did back in 1971. Read the Gospel of John and foster your faith with the basic things of the Christian faith. Find a Bible-believing church that loves people and begin to have a larger family. We are sinners snaking our way through a difficult world. But the Lord's grace is sufficient. We trust Him and Him only to take away sin and He forgives us. No braggers in heaven. Just forgiven saints. If you have not already, read "My Story" in the drop down menus on my blog site. Mike S Lynn,

Although I have never been a dedicated Christian, I DO believe, and currently God is reeling me back in (again, hopefully to stay). I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it, and I bought the single, and played it countless times during the 70's and 80's. However, in 1998, a home fire destroyed all my vinyl records and cassette tapes. And I've been routinely trying to find a good copy of this song ever since. I am amazed this song does not appear on any of the "Best of" albums. Thank for your post. I was beginning to think I was the only person who even remembered this song. I liked Bobby's other works, but 'Come Back Home' was ALWAYS my favorite. Bless you.

I checked the article out briefly. I really have no interest in interacting further with the writings of Dave Macpherson. I have done some in the past. It is the same stuff regurgitated over and over. Nothing new worth commenting on from my end. I am strongly pre-trib and view his arguments as a bit zany at times (especially in his view of the origins of pre-trib teaching) and his style a bit strident. Jason, thanks for a response here.

I was saved 4 years later and rejected sports altogether for nearly a decade (a gross over reaction to perceived idolatry in my life). Anything taken to extremes can be destructive, but the life lessons in athletics (not to mention sermon illustrations) are self evident.
