Great Weekend at Men's Retreat



Really had a great time hanging out with the guys from MSC this past weekend. The men's retreat was really solid. Special props for the food (we all ate like gluttons)! So for all you guys that missed out this year, make your plans now to attend in September 2013.

I heard good things from the Sunday services...Drew did a great job! Special thanks to everyone who helped with the Newark Days Parade. Sorry I wasn't here to participate but I heard we were excellent.

Awesome Day At Church Yesterday!

Church yesterday was great! The message was great (Drew did awesome)! The music was great! The relationship time with friends was great! The Parenting Small Group was great! It was very rewarding to see how our church family is moving forward in spritual growth. People are using their abilities to build God's Kingdom and because of that we are seeing our church family grow. Over the last six weeks we have seen more than 14 families visit our church and the almost all of them have continued attending. We are seeing them get involved and get connected. For all of you that follow Christ with passion, give finanicially, serve in ministry, and love each other unconditionally...THANK YOU! You make my job easy. I love all of you.

A Balanced Biblical View of Homosexuality

One of the truly hot button issues of our generation is homosexuality and same-sex attraction. It is partially a political issue with the constant battle over same-sex marriage. But more importantly to me (and for all Christ followers), it is at its root a moral issue. Regardless of what culture or government says about the subject, we (believers) must answer to a much higher authority. Rarely do I find balanced, well-written material that represents by position on a subject. This article from Christinity Today really captures the essence of what I believe to be a reasoned, Biblical response to the issue of homosexuality.
Hope you enjoy reading it. Feel free to post your thoughts.
