Soft Heart - Hard Heart Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 14, 2012

Three Babies And A Man Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

The whole idea of discipleship is that every Christian is to be so trained that they can reproduce and train another. Reproduction is the bottom line. It is the only way the Great Commission can be fulfilled.

Maybe some of you saw the Donahue Program where he wore a special outfit designed to help men feel what it is like to be pregnant. It was an awful experience for him as he felt the pressure and the pain involved in bearing a child. The whole idea is that men just do not understand the cost of new ...read more

You’re embarrassed by the messiness of your garage. You have not won “yard of the month” in a long, long time. There is more arguing than ...read more
