Why do victims of violence have to get over stuff? Why are those who perpetrate violence getting away with it? This is the essence of my post today.

Someone wrote about several things a pastor could do to avoid sexual temptation. They were listed and expanded on; then I took a moment to read the comments of people … Continue reading NOW is the Time!
Next Level Men’s Groups
Men’s groups in our churches have many functions. We have social activities like golf outings, BBQ’s, and softball leagues; we accomplish much-needed and appreciated work to support the needy through construction projects, skilled trades, and missional activities. These are all important components for not only the men, but the church, the community and the world … Continue reading Next Level Men’s Groups
