Our Perfect Sacrifice and High Priest

Take Note of Christ
For he has come to deserve greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves greater honor than the house itself! For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. - Hebrews 3:3-4 I was struck by this passage from the first...
Prone to Wander

Imitate What Is Good
I grew up in a time and a place where WWJD? ("What would Jesus do?") bracelets were popular. There were so many of them in my day it spawned parodies and became almost cliche. But, at the heart of it, it’s a great question to ask in any situation. What would Jesus...
