Rock The Boat!
Contributed on May 20, 2022
To deal with sin in a way that helps people, first you cry, because you care. Then you judge, urging the believing sinner to repent. And if he or she refuses, you purge them from the church.
Dr. Stephen L. Anderson, a professor in Ontario, Canada, had what he called a moment of “startling clarity” a little over 10 years ago.

God's Custodians
Contributed on Apr 28, 2022
Serving the Lord is not all that complicated. Just serve Him faithfully and humbly. Every day, just humbly do what He asks you to do and leave the results up to Him.
I’ve had some experience in signing contracts with various musicians over the years to do concerts in the church. Those contracts spell out the details of what each party expects, and they contain few, if any, surprises. That’s not the case with some of the big-name entertainers. For example, Van ...read more
