    “I Can’t Breathe” has become a rallying cry following the murders of Eric Garner and George Floyd. Many people are feeling strangled by fear and hatred right now. We need Jesus to breathe on us and that we may breathe.

    Paul preached about God’s grace whereas his opponents preached contrary to Paul’s message arguing that the law required circumcision. Why would a prisoner who has been granted freedom want to return to prison?

    At a men's retreat I noticed the verse on the back of the shirt of the guy sitting ahead of me. 2 Tim. 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." I pondered that and wondered how power, love and self-discipline counter fear.
