getting home from supervision and listening to the end of a sermon on the second half of the prodigal son and thinking about the security of being with the Father, i saw the dad next door with his young son walking out of the door. he was holding him over his shoulder in a kind of firemans lift. the son looked so secure in his father's arms. it was a cool moment.

Micheal Ramsden is an extraordinary apologist. you should make every effort to hear him whenever you can. i'm not sure anyone else could go into details about the two greek words for faith, and then, at length, quote the Black Eyed Peas, and make it work!
