"Preaching is heralding. Preaching is confronting. Preaching is pleading. Preaching is not the delivery of data, but a divine summons. It is an urgent call from heaven to earth." https://t.co/klAdD8w1yM
New post -- If any part of us perks up when a respected figure suffers indignity—if we feel a flicker of satisfaction when their sins are exposed or their name is dragged through the mud—we should pause and take a hard look at ourselves. https://t.co/HPrMWSCswq
There’s a kind of Christian love that embodies cruciform generosity because the image of God is in all of humanity. - @AnnVoskamp on the Romanian saints serving their Ukranian neighbors https://t.co/mT3xP4F1Kx
