A Warm Invitation to Church

Matthew 4:19 (And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.) “I do not care if you ever darken the doors of my church.” I would often say this to folks I am sharing the gospel with. My wife Jay did not like the tone of that statement and asked me to stop saying it. Tone aside, however, I mean it.

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode: 4   Series: BLM - 2 Black Lives Matter makes it clear that they want to "disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure." We dive into the ramification of that that statement and look at the structure that the Bible recommends for families. We show the dangers in getting rid of the nuclear family structure even as it declines in the United States today.
