I was more than just a bit confused when I first read how Jesus refers to those of us who hope to be among the chosen (those who enter the kingdom of heaven) as His “bride.” And while most men hurry past Jesus’ marriage parables without fully embracing the depth of their message, I’ve noticed [...]

The following is a excerpt of a response to a blog post where the writer asked for discussion on the “sacrament” of communion and Christ’s “flesh and blood” commands of John 6.

God has me in a good place right now. I praise Him for His clarity and peace in the midst of some really cool challenges and a lot of awesome meditation too. In the wake of several important conversations I’ve had this past week, my prayer time has been more Spirit filled than ever in [...]
