    Just as four friends of a paralytic cut through a roof of clay, manure, and twigs to get closer to Jesus, we need to be honest and cut the crap in our lives that is separating us from Christ. It is the things that separate us from God that Jesus died to

As the Jews of His day–and ours, for that matter–saw it, Jesus never talked plainly. But that wasn’t Jesus’ problem with the Jews, or us, for that matter. Our problem is that Jesus ...read more
