“Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid.” It’s a quote from the HBO miniseries about the Chernobyl disaster. You can see the truth of it at first glance, but the … Continue reading
“I Feel the Spirit in this Place”
A new Pentecostalism has recently dropped, and that’s to always open the service with the comment, “I feel the Spirit in this place,” or some variation thereof. Since it’s being said all the time, it’s starting to feel like how … Continue reading
