Much has been made about the "men problem." You can hear about it on Oprah. You can read about it in USA Today. You can watch the destruction it creates with Dr. Phil.

School teachers can barely educate on the heels of it. Social services are overwhelmed as a result of it. Divorce courts are at capacity

During the course of a year most of us only make two or three truly major decisions. These might include whether or not to change jobs, which job to take, whether or not to move to another city or across town, how many children to have, which church to attend, what kind of personal ministry to undertake, what kind of car

The Gates/Crowley clash is the most recent, but hardly the worst, example of the racial tensions that still haunt us.

Recently I asked several black friends, "Have you ever been racially profiled?"

Jim said, "I prayed to receive Christ 18 years ago. I then joined a church because I thought that was what I was supposed to do. But nothing happened, and I pretty much went on with life as before. Then, about three years ago I really started to grow. Now my family is clicking. I love life. Christ has become very real to me.

Early in the history of The Man in the Mirror Bible Study, a Table Leader at one of our leader meetings presented a bizarre situation. He told us about a man at his table who faithfully attended every Friday morning. But then on Friday nights he hit the topless bars and partied hard all

Guess what? Not this year. This year let's bless our fathers! "What?" you say. "You obviously don't know my father!" Don't have to. Heard it before. Been through it myself.

In 1926, when my Dad was two years old, the youngest of four children, his father abandoned him. It is something from which our family lineage has still not fully
