The offense of the cross

The offense of the cross

Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us […]

Love or war?

Love or war?

For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

Look out for yourself

Look out for yourself

But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. | 2 Corinthians 4:7 Our illustration today comes from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (and may reveal my level of geekdom). In the final episode of the Book […]
