The Church and I: Man Church

I'm now starting my own church for men only. There will be no singing, because guys are not very good at singing. There will be NO small talk, and men who ask each other "How you doing?" will be asked to leave if it happ…

The Church and I: The Poor, Sick, Elderly, Mentally Disturbed or Retarded, Widows, and Orphans

What can we do with all those vulnerable groups and their needs? I feel sad because an elderly man in our church passed away. He was sick, was losing his mind...I hadn't seen him in some time, either. I feel bad that I w…
The Church and I: Drink More Kool-Ade

There are always problems in the church that bother those of us who think independently. I used to try to improve church bodies and para-church groups much more than I do now. However, now I have realized that a lot of o…
