    Our response to the tragedy that took place in the mass murders of 50 people in a nightclub in Orlando can help build God's Kingdom or build more hatred between the church and the LGBT Community. Our best solution is to see how Jesus might respond.

There will be a time or two that we drift somewhere in the realm of PG-13. If you have children with you who are not yet teenagers, we would encourage you to let ...read more

    Too busy working in the church to be effective in your work for God.
