I recently gave a sermon-lecture on the implications of Genesis 4:1 for family relationships. I thought you might like to hear it. It’s rather long – about an hour and a half – with some discussion at the end, but I think you will have an appreciation for this one verse that you might not…
As I continue to call readers, I discover so many needs and blessings. Just so that you know what to pray about for the rest of the community, here’s what I have on my notes so far: Cindy wants to be discipled. Is there another godly woman out there who would be willing to start…
TIm sent me this: Skip, I am requesting prayer for a young 14 year old boy that I use to mentor. I mentored him for over 5 years and in December his grandparents felt that he needed to be back with his mom in Cincinnati. He was just starting to do better. After 5 years…

I got this email from Monica: “We have felt so very isolated during this time of travelling in the deep valley. Thank you again for your prayers. Without prayer-where would we be?
