Why extramarital sex is suddenly OK

Last updated on: July 7, 2015 at 7:41 pm   By David Murrow

We tend to see the “sexual revolution” as something new. It is not. We are merely reverting to the loose and varied sexual practices that prevailed for millennia in preliterate societies. Read more

Why gay is suddenly OK

Last updated on: July 3, 2015 at 8:27 am   By David Murrow

Why have most civilizations been hostile toward homosexuality? Why does the Bible call it “an abomination?” Why is the modern world suddenly accepting this long forbidden practice? And what impact will this have on the church and its men? Read more

Black church triples in size by focusing on men

Last updated on: June 23, 2015 at 11:17 pm   By David Murrow

In the past five years the church has exploded. Instead of five reliable men, Kirkland now has about 50. Overall attendance has more than tripled – from a low of 50 to an average of 175 on a given weekend. Giving is up. Mission work is up. The church is growing so rapidly there are plans to expand the facility. Read more

Why young Christian men choose radical Islam

Last updated on: June 12, 2015 at 6:23 am   By David Murrow

There’s been much hand-wringing over ISIS’s success in recruiting young men from the West to join their holy war. Why would these men exchange safe, comfortable lives to fight for a bloody death cult? And why did these men abandon Christianity in the first place? Read more

Use the 10-10 format to teach men

Last updated on: June 2, 2015 at 2:38 pm   By David Murrow

Whenever I speak to men's retreats, I use a 10-10 format. I speak for about 10 minutes - then the men discuss questions for 10 minutes. The results have been astounding. Read more

It’s time to redesign the men’s retreat

Last updated on: March 1, 2016 at 8:31 am   By David Murrow

It’s time to re-design the men’s retreat. If it’s just another church service with some intermural basketball, men won’t come. If you’re asking men to give up a weekend you’d better offer a mind-blowing experience that’s different than what they already get at church. Read more

Last updated on: May 19, 2015 at 7:46 am   By David Murrow

Men’s League is an extremely simple, lightweight church-planting model that focuses like a laser on the development of men within small teams. In this post, I’ll answer some questions and discuss a few advantages to the approach, which comes straight out of the Gospel of Luke. Read more

If I were planting a church it would look nothing like the model we know today. Instead, I'd pattern it after the model I see in Luke 6, 8 and 10. Read more
