If Jesus Lives in Me: Guest Post by Mallory Patrick
Sketch by Patrick Murphy: http://inspiredsketch.blogspot.com/?wref=bif Believers who have not seen Christ as the Lamb, who have not known Christ in His humiliation, will treat other believers who are conformed to that image as Jesus was treated by people when He walked the earth.

The Thousand and One: Guest Post by Cameron Fultz

The Jesus Pictures: Guest Post by Cameron Fultz
Recently, a friend lent me a book entitled The Jesus Pictures by Cameron Fultz. In the book, Cameron outlines a Christ-saturated approach to the scriptures that is taught by the scriptures themselves (Luke 24:45-47; John 5:39-40). I feel this is deeply important. What follows here is material I’ve excerpted from chapter one of Cameron’s book (with his…
Interview with Bryan Halferty about “The Unitive”
Bryan Halferty is a guy I’ve known for…about 13 years. During that time I’ve watched him evolve from a wet-behind-the-ears college kid to a family-man.
