Ezekiel 22: 30


Eze 22:30 KJV - And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

This is a ''Father's Day'' sermon that challenges men to ''Man Up.''

She ran, but the man, Winston Moseley, was too quick. He caught her, slammed her to the ground and stabbed her twice in the back. She screamed twice, once yelling, ''Oh, God! I've been stabbed!''

Across the street, a man named Robert Mozer heard Genovese from his apartment. Looking out his seventh-floor window, he saw a man and a woman, sensed an ­altercation - he couldn't see exactly what was happening - and yelled out his window, ''Le ...
