Francis Schaeffer Quote
"The gospel is the good news that God became man in Jesus Christ; He lived the life we should have lived (by keeping the moral law) and died the death we should have died (for breaking that law). Three days later, He rose from the dead, proving He is the Son of God and offering salvation to anyone who turns and trusts Him as their Lord and Savior."

Fighting For the Gospel
A church is never more than three generations from losing the gospel:
- one generation to believe it and proclaim it,
- a second generation to assume it,
- and a third generation to lose it.
Every generation needs courageous, faithful men willing to sacrifice themselves, to hold firm to and stand in the gap on behalf of the gospel.

Supply-Side Immorality
"One would not allow alcoholics to have the last word on liquor licensing laws or crack addicts on drug policy. Yet when it comes to sexual morality, that is the kind of world in which we now live. The availability of pornography and the near universality of its consumption are today facts of human existence, at least in the West, and are likely to remain so. That means that moral thinking is thus at the mercy of an industry whose interests do not lie in promoting the common good unless that common good is understood in terms of unfettered sexual license. Even worse, we are seeing the creation of a hardwired ethic of supply-side immorality to which the principle of consent will not be able to set meaningful boundaries. Indeed, if the only practical ethical standard left is the principle of consent, then in a world pervaded by pornography, society's sexual ethics are likely to be as plastic as our neural pathways."
Carl Trueman, "In Bondage to Pornography"

Where Do You Find Friendships?
Cheers, the eighties/nineties popular sit-com, and its catchy theme song touched such a responsive chord in many people because I think they wanted someplace where they could be accepted just as they are. Ironically it expresses the deep longing of the human heart for intimate community - a community that can only be experienced in Christ, not in a counterfeit, fantasy neighbor bar, or in anything else the world can offer.
The Lord wants his men to be in friendships where we can come in and say, 'I'm sunk, I'm beat, I've had it, I've sinned badly" and then receive truth and grace from the brothers. C. S. Lewis put it this way, "Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one. READ MORE***BTW -- You won't want to miss the discussion panel at the WACMM Conference on what is friendship and how do we make, keep and deepen friendships. Panelists will be Jose Mercado, Wes Yoder, Curt Allen and Kevin Rogers.

A Must-Read Book For Every Man
Men, we live in a culture in which evil is ignored, minimized, unrecognized, and even delighted in. Every one of us needs to be standing shoulder-to-shoulder in the battle for traditional marriage, life in the womb and religious liberty; and against sex trafficking and slavery, racism, pornography, homosexuality and gender confusion.
It is the gospel that compels us onto the cultural battlefield, says Platt, because, "the gospel is the lifeblood of Christianity, and it provides the foundation for countering culture. For when we truly believe the gospel, we begin to realize that the gospel not only compels Christians to confront social issues in the culture around us. The gospel actually creates confrontation with the culture around-and within-us." Counter Culture will prepare and equip you to do that very thing. For More Information, CLICK HERE
