Life is messy. But God.
Click above to listen. In honor of Christmas, I’d like to offer a brief summary of Christianity. There are a lot of misconceptions out there; maybe this can help clarify a bit. What do you want first, the good news or the bad news?Actually, the good news won’t make any sense unless you know the… Continue reading (Bad News and) Good News for Christmas
I'd like to share a thought process I had after watching a teaching that explained a difficult passage of Scripture, in hopes that it will be helpful to more than just me.
