Real Men – Part 4

From Craig Swanson…Part 1…Part 2…Part 3.   One final ball I feel we have dropped as men is that of protector. (Just as a reminder, when I talk about being real men I’m talking about reflecting the character of God.) God is our protector. “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, […]

The Gospel Is

From Dan McClain… There are three truths that were on my mind today.  First, a man wearing only one sock, has more than likely stepped in something.  Second, if there is music playing at the McClain’s house, there will be children dancing.  Third, the Gospel does not need anything added to it.  The missing sock […]

Oh What Love

From Kevin Funk…   I’d like to briefly talk about Ephesians 5:22-29. Open up your bibles and take your time with this. I can already hear the groans from the women.

Real Men – Part 3

From Craig Swanson…(Part 1)…(Part 2) I must admit that there was a real temptation to skip part 3 of “Real Men” and move right into part 4.

The Power of a Hyphen

From Rohn Peterson… Recently in my Bible reading I ran across Titus 2:11-12 which states, “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,” There are two words in the above passage […]

Real Men – Part 2

From Craig Swanson…part 2 (read part 1 here) Being the man God intended us to be means reflecting His image – following His design. Sin in the world and in our nature has marred the original design, so we need to compare our lives and character with God’s blueprint. Have you ever had to fix […]
