How do we approach truth?
Just read this today and my heart leapt…! Jesus calls himself “the truth” (John 14:6), and the Holy Spirit, “the Spirit of truth” (John 14:7; 16:13).

When Men are Silent
What happens when men keep silent…? (I wrote a post recently… When We Silence Women …but let us also highlight the value of men’s voices…) We need to hear both voices of men and women, not spoken in fleshly anger, but in bold Spirit-led risk-taking obedience… Dr Larry Crabb reminds us of the value of men’s voices… I always…
