The amendments to the constitution regarding ordination standards, diversity, inclusiveness, interpretation of Scripture, and so on, are incredibly important to our identity as a ...read more

    The “miry clay” represents situations that are sticky, messy, and hard to escape. It symbolises spiritual bondage, emotional turmoil, and moral failure. But God does not abandon His people in such states. He inclines His ear to us, hears our cry, and lifts us out with His mighty hand.

    #24 in series. Christians in today’s sexually permissive society often face the challenge of how to deal with those accused of a sexual sin. It feels as if we are given the choice of either being too hard on sinners or too soft on sin.
