Calvary Temple
He gives beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that we might be called ‘trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord’, that HE might be glorified.

Men Are Afraid of Manhood pt. 2
Society often sends men mixed messages—expecting them to provide, lead and protect, yet labeling those same traits as toxic. Scripture shows that God gave men responsibility as a blessing, not a burden. Even when figures like Adam, Moses, and Peter failed, God still used them, proving that true manhood means trusting Him, embracing responsibility, and leading with sacrificial love.
Fear of being judged by others can cause paralyzing fear and insecurity but through prayer and God’s grace and provision, we can be assured that uses men and women alike—even in their weakness and failures, and does not require perfection. God’s grace is sufficient, and He accepts sincere offerings regardless of flaws.
Fear, passivity, and isolation hold people back, but God gives power, love, and a sound mind. Brotherhood, prayer, and perseverance strengthen us, while Scripture in Revelation 2:19-25 warns against tolerating the spirit of Jezebel—false authority and manipulation. In all, God calls His people to courage, faithfulness, and steadfastness in their calling until His return.
