The Better Bread

Picture a flock of sheep in a green pasture. What do they normally do there? They eat. When a sheep lies down in a green pasture it can only mean one thing: he’s full. In fact, he’s so full that he has no more desire to eat and lies down.

Silencing Antagonists

Skillful leaders demonstrate compassion toward the antagonist knowing that there was likely something in their past that has caused them to live an angry, defensive life.

A Long Walk to Jesus

Someone who had been family by blood became family through the blood of the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
