What if we’ve been the problem all along?

Great Things
Are we sure we understand the concept of “big things for Christ”?
I Don’t Care
Once upon a time, I found Jesus. More accurately, He found me. After spending a really long time not knowing how much I need Him, I finally saw myself for who I was, and I called out to Him in response to His call to me. That was almost seven years ago. I had no […]
Love And Fear: Campaign Update 2
