    Some of the most breathtaking moments with Jesus arrive in ordinary clothes. A paper cup of water handed to a weary worker. A brown-bag sandwich shared on a bench. A text sent at midnight that says, “I’m here.” He has a way of walking into our Mondays and Market Streets, our waiting rooms and ...read more

If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, and does not want to, he is wicked. But, if God both can ...read more
