This week,  an article appeared in the New York Times entitled “Let’s Ban Porn.”  I’ve been increasingly sensitive to the fact that it’s not just Christians that are saying that porn is harmful – now it’s society at large.  Yet, still so many of us struggle.  The pull is so

At the Highlands Wednesday AM Men’s Bible Study this week, Len Baxter shared a powerful and personal application of how God uses all things to grow us as disciples.  Len recently had surgery to repair extensive damage to his shoulder muscles.  The pre-surgery pain was probably only rivaled by the
