Leonard Sweet Quote
“not Law vs. Love but Law of Love. When we lay down the law, Jesus lays down his life. What am I willing to lay down that others may pick up?” I just saw this quote on FaceBook. It makes me wonder about why we do what we do, and why we are who weContinue reading “Leonard Sweet Quote”
Good Friday – Where is the Hope?
