    The Diocese of the Western Gulf Coast's Episcopal election is a microcosm of the wider problem we're having in the ACNA.

  32. He Is More Lovely than Sin Is Ugly

    In this video, I show that Christ is infinitely more lovely than sin is ugly. I argue that because of this--because the life of Christ, in the smallest degree, outshines the ugliness of your sin--that life is a compensation that outweighs the ugliest sin to whatever degree it dwells in you.
