It’s like the ridiculous line I remember hearing in high school. “How do you know you won’t like drugs until you try them?” Well, maybe I take seriously the scientific research that shows their effects on your body. Maybe I’ve read about and have seen the broken lives of people that get hooked on that stuff. Maybe I don’t need an artificial stimulant to find enjoyment in life. I’ve never tried to drive through Manhattan blindfolded, but I don’t anticipate doing it anytime soon!

A Message from our Provider:

“If we can think and feel and love, our Maker can do all that and more”

There's no gridlock with God…no stalemate…no tie game. If a husband and wife have talked things out, but cannot come to agreement on a matter, the Bible teaches that the husband's authority prevails. By divine design God has entrusted to the husband leadership and authority with which to wisely and lovingly rule the household. The husband is not guaranteed the smartest decisions-but God does expect him to exercise leadership in the home and to have the power to veto (break up an impasse with his vote). However, this does not give him the right to be arrogant and to flaunt his authority, or to run roughshod over other family members' feelings. He has no right to refuse to listen to his wife, to withdraw from confrontational discussions, to act in anger, or to act in a non-understanding way (1 Peter 3:7). He has no right to exasperate his children or anyone else in the family. He must love his wife even as Christ loves the church and gave Himself up for it. Because of the Biblical doctrine of ';male headship,' I place (and I believe God places) the brunt of the responsibility for family growth, happiness, and harmony, upon the husband. Since he is the one entrusted with leadership, he is the one chiefly responsible for leading the family towards the goal of Christlikeness (Peter Wise).
