I suppose, if I’m honest, one of the things I like most about Jesus is that he was a rebel. Throughout the Gospels, we learn that Jesus did not always follow the rules. He didn’t fast according to traditional Hebrew law, nor did he cow-tow to those in charge just...
Sometimes, I feel like someone who is on a great expedition. As we have taken this journey this month of exploring how I’m working through understanding my relationship with God, the trails we’re blazing are not trails that are new or untrodden by previous...
