Hero

-

Fred Stoeker (best-selling author of Every Man's Battle) and his son, Jason, have written a powerful book together called, Hero: Becoming the Man She Desires.
It's a clarion call for young men to stand strong and pure in the power of God and resist the flood of immorality pervading our culture.

In a clear, compelling and "tell it like it is" manner, the Stoekers lay out a path of purity for young men, which, if followed, will spare them a lifetime of heartache and regret -- to be HEROIC in their relationships with women and to BE a Christian rather than just SEEM like one.

Too many young Christian men are saturated (bloated) with the popular culture, and thus, find themselves in an anemic spiritual condition. For instance, Jasen points out that you can tell a lot about a person's soul by looking at their Facebook profile.

Our commitment to Christ should impact ALL the areas of our lives.

Hero is a tremendous read, and a much needed voice for the rising generation in these troubling times.

    That sounds good Mark as I have read Every Man's Battle.
    I also liked the line "you can tell a lot about a person's soul by looking at their Facebook profile". I am going to check mine out with new eyes :-)

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema

My Updated Ordination Succession

-
 I made an error when I listed my ordination succession a few weeks ago.  I was ordained by Earle Wilson and he was ordained by William Neff. I had thought that Neff was ordained by early Pilgrim leader, Seth Rees, but upon further investigation, he was actually ordained by Winfred Cox.  Thus, my ordination line takes a fortunate turn. It was a struggle reconciling Rees anyway.  I had taken a leap saying that he was ordained by the Nazarenes -- when, in fact, he was originally "recorded" (not ordained) by the Quakers, and the Nazarenes claim they never ordained him.  I find that hard to believe -- especially when, according to historian, Kostlevy, he participated in ordinations for the Metropolitan Church Association, a forerunner of the Pilgrim Holiness Church. Anyhow -- deepest apologies for leading anyone astray and here is the updated ordination succession for Earle Wilson and anyone ordained by him (including former Wesleyan GS, JoAnne Lyon). I was ordained by Earle Wils
