Practicing The Way
Disordered Love
Jesus came to call sinners. Sinners, those who miss the mark, are on God’s invite list! Jesus also adds that he didn’t come to call the righteous, so everyone who believes, or at least wants others to believe, that they’ve got it all together, need not apply. There’s a fundamental self-awareness required to follow Jesus.
