That’s the mantra of Craig and Mike at xxxchurch.com. Their site offers free internet accountability software (x3 watch) and is promoted as the #1 Christian Porn Site. You won’t find pornography, but support and encouragement for those who struggle with it. I met these guys a couple of years ago in Dallas, to preview their [...]

During a retreat in McKinney, Rich and Beaker led worship and spoke to nearly 500 students. I was volunteering as a leader with a college group and we were staying [...]
Thank you. It’s been nearly a week since my last blog entry. So much has happened. Maybe later I can go into details in a future post, but you know me: I’m a bottom-line kinda guy. So, here goes: Last week our family was blessed in an incredibly generous act of love and grace. We [...]
