Good evening everyone,-sorry but I just finished up my finals for the summer! Mark 8:23-25 -And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, "Do you see anything?" And he looked […]
I love the God of love. Not so much the God of holiness. Perhaps because I’m keenly aware of my sinfulness. I want the God of love to forgive me over and over and put up with my failings. But when I think about the God of holiness, I feel very uneasy, uncomfortable, and guilty. […]
