Parents, your teenage children likely know this term - intersectionality - do you?

The Gospel
In my Life Group study we are wrapping up Mark 8 where Jesus was standing where the Caesar and the Herods got all the acclaim (Caesarea Philippi) and asked His men who people said He was. They reported John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah, or someone similar. Then Jesus pressed them to answer with their own... Continue Reading →
Hosea 4
At the men’s study on Thursday morning, Hosea 4 was considered and I found it frightening when thinking about the United States. Below is the text with some notes. May we make personal application.

Evangelism Lessons from Luke 23
Luke 23:39-43, Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.” But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

Cinema Dangers
I was recently given an educational video to view that was very well done and widely accepted but, I didn’t think the teaching was that good. A number of points were either weak or, I think, wrong.
