Family Feud?

Is it me or does it seem like Satan and the world is constantly attacking the institution of family? Pro-Homosexual groups are now wanting to call a genuine marriage (that between a man and a woman) an "opposite sex partnership." I say bologna! Our courts and schools teach our children that parents have no right to discipline them. I say phooey! Families are deemed outdated and unneeded. The BIBLE teaches differently. What is even sadder is the fact that many churches do not even seem to notice the breakdown of the family. So, how can we as a church help strengthen the family which will in turn strengthen our church and nation? Is it too late to do anything? Have we as a nation tolerated too much liberal, ungodly thinking to now turn back to our godly roots? Can we restore "family" to the rightful position it once held? I pray that your family will look to the Word of God to strenthen itself and in turn strengthen others.

Happy Mother's Day!

I'm sure you would agree that godly mothers hold a very special place in the success of a family. Mothers sacrifice that last piece of pie so the children "will not do without." They clean, clothe, and cook for their family without much thanks. They teach their children the Bible stories that can change one's life. So, how does today's woman fulfill her God-given obligation to meet the needs of the family and still find some time for herself? How does she meet all the demands of our society while still functioning as a successful mother? How can we as a church teach what a mother is to be and how to be it? Let me know what you think!

The Da Vinci Code - Fact Or Fiction?

The Da Vinci Code, written by Dan Brown, has become a bestseller in over 100 countries. It has even been made into a movie which will open later this month. So why all the "hoop-la" about this book? Granted, this book meets many of the requirements for a "good read," however, it is based on much bad history. And much of this bad history has been around for centuries! There are many websites that address this controversial issue, but what I want to know is what questions and concerns you have about the book and/or movie. Are you afraid of what this movie will do to Christianity? Have you read the book or do you plan on seeing the movie? Do you think Christians should abstain from watching the movie? Give me your feedback, and we'll try to answer any question you put out there!

Miracle-Gro?

What a wonderful 16 months we have experienced here at EBC. We have added 50 new members and seen many needed changes made. But what is the real reason behind all this growth? Is it the new staff? Is is the blended-worship? Is it people talking to their friends about church? Is it all of the above? Or is it something else? What do you think? Leave me a note and keep praying for more growth!
