JED BREAKS BREAD
by Jonathan Edwards
I am Pastor Jonathan Edwards. (No, not THAT Jonathan Edwards!). But like the greatest theological mind America has ever produced, I have a desire to know and understand God's Word and how to put it into practice. Many Christians have been accused of having a "dead orthodoxy" - that is, a life that doesn't live out the truths one believes. I want to challenge myself and fellow believers to have an orthopraxy as rich as our orthodoxy, that we might bring glory to God in all areas of life.
