Although I had not yet written the book Your Church Can Grow, that includes 35 Critical Questions in chapter four, we discussed several of those topics, and I have since realized that I should have included at least one additional topic in that book, and that is Usher’s and Greeter’s Ministry. I have since come to realize this topic is equally as important as the 35 other questions, and ...

As the times change and many more brothers and sisters recognize that God is giving us the glory and opportunity to help others recognize the love that he has for us we continue to see more of our brothers and sisters be saved and put up on the right path that God has laid out for us with his powerful grace and mercy. As we also continue our journey and we grow in major numbers to follow our savior Jesus Christ it will be God's will to lift up anyone who recognizes Jesus Christ as our savior as well as those who are blind to the light of life that he will lead us to our father in heaven.

This is why God gave man an image (character) before granting him dominion.

Among other things in his new book, Dr. Michael Eaton answers this critical question for the crucible of his own painful experiences. Here is a man who has been flung out of the frying pan, emerged from the fire, and lives today to offer deep insight into the many complexities of love, not the least of which is its five-fold nature.

Why do we often do what we know we shouldn't, and yet fail to do that which we know we should? It's the power of emotions that often wage war within us, wreaking havoc and confusion that often leads us to sin. Emotions touch upon every aspect of life: family, friendship, parenting, marriage, and all interactions at work and in the church, triggering reactions and dictating how we respond to everyday situations around us.
