There is something profoundly simple, and yet profoundly neglected, at the heart of the Christian life – God speaks, and his people listen. From the opening pages of Scripture to the life of the church in the New Testament, the people of God have always been marked by their relationship to the Word of God. WeContinue reading “Why God’s People Must Read God’s Word, Not Paraphrases”

Learning to Weep Before God
