Reflections Of A Father

The past two weeks have been some of the busiest I have ever experienced, including our Temple Christian Academy commencement last Friday evening.  I suppose the reason it seemed so taxing was because my own daughter, Alexis, was graduating.  It almost felt like she was getting married or something.  My emotions were all over the [ READ MORE ]

The Dearth Of Manhood

Psa 12:1   Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

Making The Puzzle Of Ministry A Portrait

Ministry really is a puzzle on a magnificent scale.  Putting the pieces in order AND keeping each of those pieces together can be challenging at times, especially if you have a multifaceted ministry.  Pieces of that puzzle include daily time with God in prayer and study, preparing messages, various administrative duties, finances, staff meetings, soulwinning, [ READ MORE ]

Family First

  While we believe in age appropriate ministry, we also believe that if we are not careful, the church can work against the family rather than for the family.  Too much specialized ministry can segregate families rather than strengthen families.  At Grace, we put the FAMILY FIRST. Yes, we have many ministries that focus on [ READ MORE ]
