Happy (In)Dependence Day! {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
Obesity isn’t just an issue of bodyweight. Biblically, God used the less-PC term “fat” to describe a condition of excess unto spoiling. He described Israel this way: “Israel soon became fat and unruly; the people grew heavy, plump, and stuffed!

Seeing People as People {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
They didn’t see a man. They didn’t see his pain. They didn’t notice his need. They didn’t care that he was in the house of the Lord.

They wanted to defend what they thought they understood. Their goal was to prove their point. So what they saw was an opportunity. “He went into their synagogue, and a man with a shriveled Continue Reading
