El impacto causado por Jesus en nuestro mundo es altamente inconcebible, imposible de evitar, sumamente desconocido y decididamente cortante como espada de doble filo. Es inconcebible, a la luz de las graves limitaciones que tuvo durante su vida terrenal. Es imposible de evitar, debido a la amplitud que ha tenido ese impacto. Es sumamente desconocido, porque la historia no tiene la costumbre de relacionar entre si los hechos puntuales. Y decididamente, es cortante como espada de doble filo, porque sus seguidores han causado incontables estragos, muchas veces en su nombre. Es el personaje mas...

When is the last time you thought about the state of your soul?
The health of your soul isn't just a matter of saved or unsaved. It's the hinge on which the rest of your life hangs. It's the difference between deep, satisfied spirituality and a restless, dispassionate faith.
In an age of materialism and consumerism that tries to buy its way to happiness, many souls are starved and unhealthy, unsatisfied by false promises of status and wealth. We've neglected this eternal part of ourselves, focusing instead on the temporal concerns of the world--and not without...

Not you, that's for sure No one you've ever met, either. None of us are normal according to God's definition, and the closer we get to each other, the plainer that becomes. Yet for all our quirks, sins, and jagged edges, we need each other. Community is more than just a word--it is one of our most fundamental requirements. So how do flawed, abnormal people such as ourselves master the forces that can drive us apart and come together in the life-changing relationships God designed us for?

Normal? Who's normal?
