Overall
I want to share whatever I have learned that might be helpful for churches and I want to make that as easy to do as possible. I do hope if you like and share what's on this site that you will tell folks about it and hopefully become a member. But the most important thing is that you read and share. If you really like something and don't have time to do anything but share it—just do that—I understand insanity in scheduling and life. If anything I write helps one more person come to know Jesus either for the first time or grows in their relationship with Him, I don't care who or what gets the credit.
