You Might Be a Ministry Leader If…

As I stood with women surrounding me on every side at a Beth Moore simulcast, I scanned the room. It was filled with women worshipping God in unison. Raising holy hands to the Holy One and singing with a single focus on the Savior who had saved their souls. The tears puddled up in my eyes as I wondered what God must have thought. How the beauty of women worshipping Him with once voice must have made His heart smile big time! Events like that don’t just happen. Bible studies, conferences, luncheons, teas, MOM Groups, Titus 2 groups, and a …

I know you’re tired. Maybe you’re overwhelmed. You’re probably feeling like the whole world is on your shoulders. Perhaps you’re even ready to quit. But you can’t quit.

What is a Man? by CHRIS SMITH

Thursday night the doorbell rang. There was a man with a two and a half foot long sword standing on my front porch. Not to worry. He was coming to our weekly Raising a Modern-Day Knight meeting. This is a book and study that the men from our church small group are in the middle of right now. Raising a Modern-Day Knight by Robert Lewis is about raising our sons with a sense of what it means to be a man. It is an excellent program and you can check it out at www.RMDK.com. A Father is a man, but …
