Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown ...read more

These verses, read as a whole, read as a response to a specific problem within the church, really don't make sense within the context of Western, white, evangelical Christianity. The way we tend to view the church, and ...read more
