It freaking drives me absolutly bonkers when I see single moms, single pregnant women and children with out dads. I know there are different circumstances, but majority of cases are because men, and I hesatate to call them that, maybe boys that can shave would be better suited, fail to pull there weight and fail to live up to there duties as a man, husband and father. Being it fathers day I know that there are people out there that today this is a really tough day because there dad was not there and dropped the ball in the most important game they will ever play. My heart breaks for those who have been wounded by guys who suck at being guys.
My wife and I are expecting our first born child in a few short weeks and this weekend we did our first of two prenatal classes. It was amazing for many reasons, the videos were shocking but informative. I was amazed at how much they talked about the importance of the support person there. The support persons role is huge in child birthing. I could not immagen being a woman who had to go through that on there own. In my mind Gods intended plan for marriage and children is thr right way. All of the other ways are wrong. Statistically, all other methods of people try to be together do not for the majority work as good as the way it speak about in the bible. I'm not saying that Christian don't get divorced but statistically, with regular church attendance, small group support, and regular bible reading you are less likely to get divorced. Bottom line, Satan is still a liar, men need to man-up and repent of there sin.
Real men Love Jesus.

Auxano and marriage!!!
Auxano last night was awesome! The largest crowd we have had at a cool 40 people.
The topic that we addressed we a big one, sex and marriage. The night started off as usual with worship, scripture memorization and then the word. I was blessed to be able to bring a short talk on both sex and marriage and while I was talking we had the group write questions and statements about sex and marriage down and then hand them in to be discussed as a group.
It was amazing the amount of good feedback and comments that we had from the group and we were able to talk about a lot of things that you could not usually discuss sunday morning. We went about 30 minutes over time to make sure all the questions were answered thoroughly.
Sex and marriage is a huge topic and it is near and dear to my heart. While we were in Brazil the focus of barbie and I was for young men and women to see what it is to have a godly marriage. Most of out time out side of the scheduled evangelical outreaches was spent talking with young adults about dating and marriage. Barbie and I now celebrating three years of marriage are happy to say we are still in the honey moon stage of our marriage and we intend to be there till Jesus comes back or one of us dies. Yep. We both recognize that we have been given huge grace in this area of our lives and we are excited to share our experience with people.
some of the resources that we have found helpful are,
-The peasant princess sermon series, found on line at marshillchurch.org
-The first 90 days of marriage, by Eric and Leslie Ludy
-God, Marriage and Family by Andreas J. Kostenberger.
I encourage everyone, single and married to look into these things and prepare your self for marriage. It is one of the greatest gifts that God has given us and is the second most important decision you will ever make.
#1, Who is my God?
#2, Who will my spouse be?

New Blogg
Blogg time!!
Things have been good for us as of late. Our main focus has been Auxano. For those of you who don't know about auxano, most of your questions can be answered by searching auxano on face book. Basically stated however auxano it self is the Greek word for grow, and growing in christ is what it is all about. We meet every monday down town Red Deer in the Career assistance development center from 7 till 8pm for worship, scripture memorization, teaching and community. It has been really great so far. This past week we had our biggest group yet at 30. The focus is on discipleship with a focus on Christ. We are hitting some hot topics that you don't commonly find in church every sunday. One of the highlights for the night is when a large group of us cross the street to O'Mallies pub and grill. Yes Pub. We know as Christians this might ruffle some fundamentalists feathers but we believe that this is a good thing and God has confirmed that it is to us. The first night we decided that this place would be a good place to have some good christian community invade it, we told the waitress that we would probably be returning every monday for the next bit. She was excited to hear that and shared about her faith in the Lord as well.
Now as we continue to build currency with the pub and the pub owner, it has opened the door for us to do some cool things there. They have asked that we some nights bring out guitars and do some music which will hopefully get off the ground soon.
God is good.
I am looking forward to speaking at auxano on april 12, the topic that I have been given is indulgence. It should be fun. I encourage you to come. If you think that this might not be your kind of thing, then please tell people that you think might benefit from it. Our agenda is the Gospel, bottom line.
Thanks for reading.
