Every once in a while, we hit a big expenditure for which our normal giving isn’t sufficient. We could diminish our missions giving to cover ourselves, but you know as well as I do that the Father won’t be pleased with that. The right way to handle situations like this is for us to all step up…

       Many writers are expressing that we’re now in a post-Church world; a world where people no longer look to the church for answers or hope. As a culture, people aren’t finding value in attending a meeting on Sundays and they aren’t seeing a tangible difference in the lives of those who do.         So what’s the answer?

(It’s not all that easy to teach either!)      Since Ephesians 5:21 sets…

            I get a physical every year whether I feel like I need it or not. I do it because I know others are dependent upon me and because I know that some problems do the greatest damage before I physically perceive them.
