How God Uses Loneliness
My old friend, Jim Driscoll, has written an interesting article on “Seers and Loneliness” on his blog. God uses times of loneliness to draw us closer to Him and give us revelation about the world around us! If you don’t know what a seer is, or would like to learn more about spiritual seeing, I [...]
Giving Church Another Chance
I’ve been reading Todd Hunter’s book Giving Church Another Chance and have been really struck by how closely it parallels my own spiritual journey.
