We are connected to the same power that raised Christ from the dead. Read more

Don't let your theology trump the Bible. Arminians and Calvinists have a lot to offer each other. I think they are both wrong on some things but helpful on others. We must accept one another as brothers and sisters who reflect part of God’s glory that we ourselves can’t. Read more
