The Greatest Rescue Ever Launched
What Men Need to Know About the Gospel
The Gospel is not about trying harder, doing more, feeling better, being good enough, keeping rules, maximizing your potential or having your best life now. Nor is it good advice, having some subjective experience or looking inside yourself for answers. All of this stuff is religion or moral therapy.

The Bible tells us that God created everything very good. Our first parents were created very good, male and female, in the image of God, equal in value, worth, dignity and grace. But sin and death invaded their perfect Garden and everything became marred, twisted and distorted. A war broke out

Gender War and the Gospel
The divorce culture around us is the most obvious sign of men and women in conflict with one another, as marriages are ripped asunder and the custody of children fought over in law courts in virtually every major city on the planet. Even beyond that, many reverberations of the sexual revolution are built on self-protecting mechanisms for men and women who, at best, don't trust one another and, at worst, want to exploit one another. Divorce courts and abortion clinics, porn sites and chick flicks- these all reveal men and women who, far from merging into some sort of unisex utopia, find it impossible to give themselves fully to the other..

Lone Survivor: A Movie to See
Not since the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan has the silver screen given us such intensive, graphic combat carnage as Lone Survivor, which opened recently in theaters. Nevertheless, it is worth seeing for its ennobling message about courageous manhood and the amazing power and beauty of a band of brothers on mission. READ MORE
When You're Knocked Down, Then What?
Pastor Matt Chandler On the Litmus Test
"The litmus test of whether or not you understand the gospel is  what you do when you fail. Do you run from God and go try to clean yourself up a bit before you come back into the throne room, or do you approach the throne of grace with confidence? If you don't approach the throne of grace with confidence, you don't understand the gospel. You are most offensive to God when you come to him with all of your efforts, when you're still trying to earn what's freely given." from Matt Chandler

Our Favorite Super Bowl Commercial

Cat Herding Spoof
This ad comes from Super Bowl XXXIV (2000). The commercial has even outlasted the company it advertises. EDS, a digital management firm, was absorbed by Hewitt Packard in 2008

The Ad You Won't See Sunday
Wired to Protect

  Created by gun manufacturer Daniel Defense, the commercial was banned by the NFL. Putting aside for now the political controversy, it's a rare commercial that portrays a man who takes responsibility for himself and his family - as God has wired us all to do.
