Last night I heard a radio show host explaining how he had received call after call of people asking for prayer. He was understanding of the reality that these people are hurting, for whatever reason. It was when he, very firmly, started correcting listeners about being down and out during hard times that his words really grabbed my attention. He spoke that we should be joyful and not walk with...

The Idolatry of Modesty
“Because promiscuity is so prevalent today… we jump too quickly into behavior modification and don’t realize that most of our modesty campaigns are actually borderline legalism.

Ephesians 1:7 It’s okay to be hurt. Or beat down. Or broken. Or a mess. Or a hurt, beat down, broken, mess. Jesus wants you. The blood never loses its power.
