“[Love for Enemies] ?You have heard that it was said, ?Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.? But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”

Howdy, Y’all! While people say that I sound like I’m from Nebraska, my roots are actually here in West Texas (it must have had something to do with that six year hiatus in Denver during those adolescent years). My given and legal name is Gary Groves. But I answer to Jerry Gross, Barry Grover, Terry Grooves, Larry Grobes, and Harry Graves to name a few—or just plain Skip.
Before the launch of Church on the JOURNEY, I spent 5 ½ years at First Christian Church of Midland and had an incredible time overseeing the evangelism, adult education and congregational nurture ministries of the church. Before that assignment, I served six years as the pulpit minister at First Christian Church in Big Spring, TX.
Three precious girls ranging in age from the teens to the twenties provide my wife, Judy, and me with our most important—and joyous—ministry opportunities. Just an aside—“Ra, Ra, TCU . . . Ra, Ra, TCU!” Two degrees and a small fortune will sometimes cause one to blurt that out . . .
