Seeking a global audience has always strained my own pursuit of humility, and I’ve often questioned the best use of time. Tonight, I’m under specific [...]
Sometimes, while scanning blog feeds, the posts start to mix together and produce interesting insights. Tonight was a good example. First, take a look at this Baptist Press post by Keith Manuel (Louisiana Baptist Convention employee). He writes about the digestive dangers of too much grain for sheep and then makes a point about Christians. [...]
