Pornography, Sexuality, and the Church

The Statistics Are Staggering: 66% of Internet-using men between the ages of 18-34 look at online porn at least once a month (1) 55% of pastors admitted to participating with porn online. (2) Over 40% of women on line are involved in problematic cyber behavior. (3) The largest consumer of Internet pornography is the 12 to 17 year old age group.

A Wonderful Benediction for You and Your Church

My 21 year old daughter picked up a lovely benediction while in New Zealand as an exchange student, one I have prayed for our own people. You  may want to pray this over the people around you, your family, your small group and your church.  You are God’s servants, gifted with dreams and visions, Upon you rests the grace of God like flames of fire.

May the peace of Christ be with you, The strong arms of God sustain you, And the power of the Holy Spirit strengthen you in every way.  Amen                                                                                           (Diane Karay Tripp)
