This year I’ve sought to add daily devotionals – which is going back to my roots, and improve the quality of my writing. To do that, I’ve started working with an amazing editor, my wife, who proofreads and offers suggestions … Continue reading

What’s God Up To Anyway? Mark 8:22-38

Spreading Out With The Message – Mark 1:32-45

The Beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ – Mark 1:1-15
