As I look back on the time where I was slowly learning the lessons I have been sharing, when I was questioning my faith and seeking a lasting identity, I am drawn deeper to the time that came before. I’m drawn in to look at the circumstances that led to my faith crumbling into questions Read more
Last week we explored how our sin separates us from God by chasms that are just too large to span alone. Why? Because God is a just God. Where is it that we stand if God’s justice were served on us? Justice sounds great when we are on the “good” side. We ask for justice. We
