Read More JJ 24 #42: This Will Take A Team – Part TwoWhen you thought it was safe to avoid a blog conveniently making analogies related to football to coincide with the Euros and Copa America, here I am with another analogy about football. There are so many connections between football and discipleship that it wouldn’t take much for me to make a gospel connection with any […]
Read More JJ 24 #41: This Will Take A Team – Part OneAaron going with Moses was not a concession by God. I can see how it looks that way.

And it’s all been down to his obedience to the One who has given the divine call. He is rescued at birth from state-sponsored infanticide in one of the powerful countries in the known world.
