We Want to Go to There: A House Made of Bookcases →
Imagine a house, perhaps tucked into some quiet nook in the woods somewhere, where every wall is covered with floor-to-ceiling bookcases. No more piles of graphic novels and DVDs and classic lit cast sadly around your living room, judging you for not putting it on proper display. Just endless supplies of shelf space, even in the staircases. It’s a hoarder’s dreamland. And for those of...

May we exalt and enthrone King Jesus on high in our hearts and our minds, in our churches and our homes, in our passions and our thoughts, in our words and deeds. There is no substitute that can satisfy or rightfully take His place whether moralism or ministry, religion or rules, pleasure or pragmatism. Christ is all and He deserves all praise. May Christ have the preeminence in all things.
