Our Passover: Knowing and going with Christ
From its start, Passover has met God’s people at the intersection of pain and gain, and urged, “Go with God. He is so worth it.” A story of Christ our Passover.
People of God, befriend the forsaken

God is hunting for hearts. “Not hearts of paper and lace,” he says. “I’m seeking human hearts that are open, tender, alive.”
Divorcing: When God does what he hates
Once, in Malachi, God may have said that he hates divorce. Repeatedly, in Jeremiah, God reveals how much he hates divorcing. Repeatedly, he laments the nonstop betrayals that did, and could, bring him to do it.
