Reading the Bible is Like Watching Netflix

Gary Millar | Jan. 20, 2022

Tim Chester | Nov. 16, 2021

Whenever I get to the end of a tube of toothpaste, I carefully roll up the tube to squeeze out the last bit of toothpaste. And that’s how my evangelism so often feels. I wrap myself up in guilt until a tiny bit of Jesus squeezes out.... continue reading
