upside down world

Sometimes I wonder why I ever make plans at all. I think that God delights in hijacking our plans. I wonder if he gathers the angels together when one of us comes up with a really clever plan of our own. I can picture it now… “Hey angels, come over here and check this out. [...]

it was only a matter of time

the gospel

I’m looking forward to the release of the Poverty and Justice Bible, launched by Bible Society on March 21st. The bible will highlight the 2,000+ verses in the Bible that talk about God’s heart for the poor and the oppressed, and what our response as his followers should be. The gospel is so much better [...]
