There’s nothing quite like a nice, big meal…to walk away from the dinner table feeling full. But what does it look like to be “full” in Christ? To have fullness in Christ? Paul turns his attention in the next segment of his letter to the idea of our being brought to fullness in Christ. This […]
Do you ever have those mornings where you wake up and you can’t remember what day of the week it is? Those first few moments after the alarm clock goes off can be quite foggy. If you’re traveling, that moment of “what day is it?” can be coupled with “where am I?” and make you […]
