More Stuff About Glory
I asked God what He’d like me to understand about glory, and He gave me this rather rambling reply. Yes, God rambles sometimes, too. When I read back over it, though, I see it does fit together. But it wasn’t … Continue reading
Bread–Not a Stone
I asked God yesterday morning for a word I could share with the members of my ecclesia (gathering/house church/simple church/organic church–not sure what to call our little group for maximum communication value.) This is what He gave me, and it … Continue reading
Hearing from God: Part 4
