Where have all the godly MEN gone?

It seems that people are getting married a lot later in life these days. I am constantly talking with people about life, dating, marriage and being single. Most in their 20’s and 30’s and I have began to ask the questions of why? Why are so many people not taking the plunge into the covenant…

I find that so many people love this idea of Christianity, I mean after all who wouldn’t want to live in a world based on love? A place where everybody is patient, kind, not envious, boastful or proud. A place where we all honor each other, selflessly, unangered, keeping no records of wrongs. Where we…
