Snubbing God
In a previous post I talked about why (most) students side with Rob Bell.

How’s Your [Servant’s] Attitude?
In my reading this morning I sat with Paul’s encouraging letter to the believers in Philippi. The first half of chapter 2, on imitating Christ’s humility, has always been a challenging word to hear…
This morning was no different.
