It is a blessing to the church to have a constant stream of new “outsiders” coming into the church. It is a blessing to have a rising generation who articulates their doubts about practices of the past. These force us to evaluate our norm, our status quo, to bring it in line with eternal truth.

Fatherhood is a choice, not an accident. It is not a job for the faint of heart. Like Noah of old, fathers are called by God to make safe places for themselves, their homes, and the church/school - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Noah shows fathers how to find grace in the eyes of God.
