I also have family in the North/South Carolina area, having heard of loss of power and cell signal for days (power still out for a lot of people), and gas stations out of gas. The town my brother-in-law was married in in Georgia had many trees uprooted/knocked over.

As an overreaction to the feminist movement there’s a lot of talk these days about manhood among some quarters online. I think there’s a place for being tough as a man of God. But there seems to me a lot of hype and edgy online contents that is more LARPing than real biblical manhood. And […]
Our congregation did not have a VBS or other thing this summer, but we are about to launch a midweek children’s class.
We did see many churches offer VBS, and I personally met some people who had rarely or never been to church except to take their children to be with friends at VBS. It can be such a valuable resource. So many seeds do get planted.

For this Sunday here’s what you can do: Pray for God to plant seed of the Gospel through your church’s summer VBS.
Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
