DK’s better than stink bait
It doesn’t get much better than the days we’ve enjoyed on the lake the past couple of weeks! The fall temperature cool-down is great for fishing and any outdoor activity. Don’t let the great opportunity to see, feel and enjoy Mother Nature at her best pass you by during October and November! 10/17/2024 08:37 AM

Rethinking church: Money doesn’t save
Rethinking church: Money doesn’t save
This is the final article in a series I have been doing called “Re-Thinking Church.” Throughout these articles, we have been exploring various qualities or focuses that the church oftentimes utilizes that are truly misguiding our divine efforts as the Body of Christ. We have looked at the church’s overzealous obsession with attendance and membership while neglecting to celebrate the growth of discipleship and spiritual disciplines. We talked about how obsession with buildings and programs has turned the church into brick and mortar as opposed to flesh and blood. If this is your first time reading this final article, I would encourage you to go back and read the other two. But for those of you who have remained steadfast in your readings, let’s dive into the final section of these pastoral observations. Hope you’re ready, cause we are going to be talking about money. 10/17/2024 08:37 AM
