Reckless Fervor and the Safety of Our Father’s Presence

Jesus Changes Everything, At Such an Immeasurable Cost
God made men for work, for protection, and for rescue. When we look at the imago Dei, the glorious truth that we are made in the image of God, I fear we miss much when we describe it in terms … Continue reading
