Join us this week:

Pastor Brad will be speaking on -

"Back to the Future" 

 Matthew 28:18-20

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

One of the more interesting news items this week was the dismissal of  Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal from his role in the war overseas. Interesting enough he did not lose this position because of neglegence, poor strategy, a huge tactical error on the battlefield, mis-management of resources or anything like that. He lost his position because of judging and criticizing the president and his staff both in relation to the war and their political posturing; in short his tongue got him in big trouble.
