In my experience of working in ministry with men for decades, a specific pattern has been repeated time and time again. It doesn’t seem to matter whether the man is unfaithful to his wife, addicted to drugs, alcohol or sex, a thief, a liar, deceitful, a murderer, or some other type of dysfunctional behavior, there […]

The Way, the Truth, and the Life Jesus said, “I Am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). Jesus does not simply teach the way or point the way; he is “THE WAY.” “No man cometh unto the Father, but by me,” wipes away any other proposed way […]
