No Partiality
“Peter declares that Jesus was about the business of changing people’s lives. He sums up Jesus’ ministry by saying that he “went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil”. Evil diminishes life for individuals and … Continue reading →
Partiality
There’s a certain irony here: Simon Peter’s comfort staying in the home of a Jewish Tanner and his great discomfort entering the home of a spit and polish Roman centurion. It says something about our prejudices. Acts 10: 34-43 Our … Continue reading →
