There are some things that Christian men just need to STOP doing. I'm just going to put it bluntly. Men, if you are guilty of any of these 5, I encourage you to seek God to help you stop.

If we want to be more like Christ, we as men need to align our character after His and ask ourselves, ...

Over the past 10 years or so we have seen several high-profile celebrity pastors of very large churches fall in ministry. They have either been removed, resigned or simply retired.

Someone recently asked the question, "Brother Allen, should I pray in faith believing and trusting God for what I want Him to do and then end my prayers with, 'if it be your will?'" The question they were really asking here is, "will God see this as a sign of lack of faith if I pray this way?" This is a valid question. Should we just pray in faith or is it okay to say "if it be your will?" We...
