Ok, I know—this “part 2” probably set some sort of unofficial record for the longest time between a post and its sequel.

READ MOREOk, a title should never be the length of a short post, but there it is. Since you made it past that, admit it, It’s a pretty good question, isn’t it? Today, most church plants in America are DOA unless they have at least half of the DNA listed in the title above. Or so […]
READ MOREWrapped up chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes today with the only real solution King Solomon missed—turning from our sins to God’s salvation.

READ MORE159 people gave their lives to Jesus Christ today @ Southbrook Church!! All praise and glory to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! Nearly 200 were saved between Palm Sunday and Easter!!
