Our Triune God
If you’ve read one or more of these posts, you already know I’m no theologian. So I hope you’ll cut me some slack as I try and unpack what the Lord has pointed me to…
The Belief Meter
So, do you believe in Jesus? How much? Do you believe enough? Evangelicals are known for wanting people to cross ‘the line of faith’ from unbelief to belief. Rightly so, since Jesus was pretty clear,…
