We need something much deeper and much more sustaining than three points and a poem to get us through the dark days when hope seems lost, something much more than greeting card clichés, something more than denominational differences and squabbles over wor
“Rattlin’ Bones and Rollin’ Stones” – Ezekiel 37:1-14 Sex scandals, decline, apathy, cancer, pain, death, hopelessness – the prophet Ezekiel could have been writing to us just as easily as the people Israel in Babylonian captivity. Perhaps our spiritual ...read more
